Autumn events for staff: using online patient feedback to improve care

There's a lot going on around patient feedback this autumn!

We're expecting policy announcements, new evidence-based briefings, conference discussions - and in the midst of all this, we're bringing you not one, but two free events for health and care staff who want to understand how online patient feedback works and why it matters.

So here are two dates for your diary.

3 October 2019, 10:30-3:30 - Leeds

Platform, New Station Street, Leeds LS1 4JB

Agenda

17 October 2019, 10:30-3:30 - London

NCVO, 8 All Saints St, Islington, London N1 9RL

Come to either event to hear directly from the Care Opinion team and from organisations using online feedback to serve patients and improve services.

We'll have some expert guest speakers and we'll be discussing topics such as:

• Why is public online feedback so different to traditional approaches?
• Why do people post feedback online? What are their intentions?
• How do organisations use Care Opinion in practice to resolve issues, restore relationships, lift staff morale, support service improvement and stimulate a learning culture in teams?
• What does emerging research say about the importance of online feedback, and how it might be used for service improvement?
• How can you take a strategic approach to online feedback in your organisation?

Our events are friendly and informal, with plenty of time for questions and discussion. We hope you'll go away energised by new possibilities!

We expect these events to fill up quickly, so advance registration is essential. To register your place, please email sarah.ashurst@careopinion.org.uk.
