Introducing the concept of Patient Experience Who are our customers Everyone’s talking about it Why patient experience is important in the new NHS Great Expectations Whose responsibility

iCARE within BCHC iCARE sets out a number of principles staff should follow when working with each other and with patients

iCARE Philosophy The i stands for the individual, which is a reminder that it must treat people as people, and also the fact that every member of staff has a fundamental role to play. CARE refers to good, clear Communication, a positive Attitude, Respect and a clean, safe and welcoming physical Environment which is both a good place to be a patient and a good place to work.

Managing expectations What do our customer want from us What do they want to see What do they want to hear What do they want to experience

Headlines What do the public, patients and carers say about us? What do we want our public, patients and carers to say about us?

How do we influence behaviour i - individualised, inspiring, influencing, innovating C – Effective Communication A – Positive Attitude R – Respect for patients, carers and staff E – Environment conducive to care and recovery

Group work First thoughts? What went wrong? What could have been done differently? Lessons learnt?
