S2 Ep206: RNIB Connect Voices Round Up 1 November 2023

<div>Clare Aldworth, RNIB Customer Voice Insight Officer shares the latest opportunities for blind and partially sighted people to get involved in with RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey.<br> <br> Opportunities highlighted this week included:<br> <br> <strong>Help RNIB make Eye Health Information More Relevant and Engaging</strong><br> RNIB produces lots of resources about a wide range of different eye conditions. These are created in a number of different formats. RNIB is keen to make sure these resources are as relevant and engaging as possible and this is where you come in. <br> By contributing just an hour a month of your time you could support one of RNIB’s  key services teams by reviewing our range of eye health leaflets. Your valuable feedback will make sure our eye health information is as helpful as possible for people diagnosed with eye conditions.<br> <br> What will you be helping with?<br> • You’ll be providing feedback on how easy the information in the leaflets is to read, follow and understand.<br> • We understand your time matters, so although you don’t need to review every leaflet we send you, we would like a commitment of at least 4 leaflets in a six month period to ensure we always get a customer perspective.<br> • You can provide feedback by email or telephone. We may occasionally arrange a group call too. If so, you would be able to access this by phone, landline, tablet or computer and we would help you to do this.<br> <br> To find out more, please email eyehealth@rnib.org.uk quoting the words ‘Reader panel role’.<br> <br> <strong>Get Set Progress - New Internships Now Available!</strong><br> Thomas Pocklington Trust is teaming up with RNIB for an initiative called Get Set Progress.
