New course on Foundations in Patient Experience
12 November 2018
Following the success of our Foundations in Patient Experience course, we will be running a new course in April 2019.
Topics
The course supports the following learning objectives:
- Help people working in patient experience and engagement fully understand their responsibilities and work strategically as leaders in their field.
- Strengthen knowledge of research evidence, its relevance to patient experience, to other patient and organisational outcomes.
- Understand the historical and policy context for patient experience and efforts to improve it in the UK and internationally.
- Strengthen the personal impact and effectiveness of students, confidence in role, skills in sense-making, influencing and collaborative working.
- Increase confidence in understanding, analysis and use of different types of data on patient experience.
The course is structured into four modules. Total fees for the course, including learning materials and the residential, are £1400. The course is CPD-accredited with each module the equivalent of 8 hours of learning. Students may obtain The Point of Care Patient Experience certificate by submitting a piece of written work.
We welcome applications from people working in patient experience within the NHS, Patient Advice and Liaison Service or third sector organisations concerned with patient experience.
