Foundations in Patient Leadership May 2022
4th - 25th May 2022Patient Experience
The Point of Care Foundation has partnered with others whose mission is to humanise healthcare. Our next cohort for the Patient Leadership Programme is scheduled for May 2022, when we once again partner with David Gilbert, mental health service user, director of InHealth Associates and the first Patient Director in the NHS, to host his ground-breaking Patient Leadership programme.
Patient Leadership signals a breakthrough in healthcare that moves beyond traditional engagement and uncovers the pioneering and transformative work of patient leaders – those affected by life-changing illness, injury or disability who want to lead change in the healthcare system. Or ‘those who have been through stuff, who know stuff, who want to change stuff’.
This course lays the foundation for understanding patient leadership. It is designed for both patients and non-patients to explore together different facets of this emerging social movement.
