Advocacy People are an independent charity that provide a free and confidential service. In North Somerset they are able to offer NHS Complaints advocacy, mental health advocacy, care and support advocacy and advocacy for people who lack capacity.

As a patient, relative or carer, sometimes you may need to turn to someone for help, advice and support. This is where the Patient Advice and Liaison Service can help. This service is free and confidential. Our aim is to help sort out any problems or concerns you may have when using health services, agree the best way forward to deal with a problem and get it resolved as quickly as possible.
