Justin's HOPE healthcare tumblelog

“The Patient Voices programme aims to facilitate the telling and the hearing of some of the unwritten and unspoken stories of ordinary people so that those who devise and implement strategy in health and social care, as well as the professionals and clinicians directly involved in care, may carry out their duties in a more informed and compassionate manner. We hope that, as a result of seeing the stories, patients, their carers and clinicians may meet as equals and work respectfully together for the benefit of all.”

I’ve always encouraged story telling by your patients. Simply ask them what was most unforgivable in their care and what was most comforting/healing/helpful?  Check out the link “find a story” and be amazed.
