Patient Leadership Programme
9th September - 30th September 2021
Please note: The Patient Leadership Programme is now FULLY BOOKED. However, if you would like to join the waiting list, we will contact you if a space becomes available.
The Point of Care Foundation is partnering with others whose mission is to Humanise Healthcare. We kick this off on 9th September 2021, when we 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.
