Welcome to the Patient Voices programme |
|
| The Patient Voices programme was founded by social entrepreneurs Pip Hardy and Tony Sumner in 2003, and 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. | |

Through its carefully developed methodology, the programme facilitates the telling and sharing of reflective stories of care by all stakeholders. The innovative model of free distribution of resulting stories for use in health and social care education and quality improvement ensures that those voices are heard, and that the investment of storytellers is nurtured to develop maximum social capital. To continue the programme we must be able to convince prospective workshop sponsors of the effectiveness of the stories. If you have used any Patient Voices digital stories, we would be very grateful if you could spare ten minutes to complete a short survey about the impact of the stories being conducted by Manchester Metropolitan University. |
