Culture Change: Being the Change You Want See
Wednesday 7th December 2016, Hilton London Euston
“Changing culture takes time, and we have only just started on the journey. We have also raised our ambition – not only to prevent a repeat of the events at Mid Staffordshire, but also to become the first healthcare system in the world that truly embraces the standards of safety common in the airline, nuclear and oil industries. That means creating a learning culture in which doctors, nurses and frontline staff always feel able to speak out if they have concerns about safety or care.” Jeremy Hunt MP Secretary of State for Health
The NHS was set up with a moral purpose and is, at its heart, a moral being. It is an institution ultimately driven not by treatment or targets or pills, but by the values of the people who work in it. And if we don’t create a culture that nurtures those values, organisational change, policy change, even money will count for little.
As part of NPAG’s ongoing patient experience programme, we have organised a one day conference aimed at everyone who works in the NHS. This is an excellent opportunity to network and listen to key presentations and case studies.

Customer Care, Sheila Fisher, NPAG Associate Training Consultant, Impact Training Consultancy Services Ltd, This session will reinforce customer care best practice so that patients receive the best possible experience through our people, always Putting the Patient First.
