Engaging people and communities is essential to making meaningful and lasting improvements in health and social care services. Good engagement:
- Ensures the voices of those using these services are listened to and valued.
- Builds trust.
- Helps improve services.
- Identifies opportunities for change that reflect what people need and want.
Improving how we engage with people begins with learning.
Our Engagement Practice Learning and Improvement System supports you to build the skills, knowledge, and confidence to engage with people. Our aim is to create a culture where people’s voices shape change, drive improvement, and influence decision-making.
