What’s in my suitcase? Getting to know each other and what do we want to achieve today?

“Asking patients what they think about the care and treatment they have received is an important step towards improving care for patients in hospitals and other health services.” Professor Sir Ian Kennedy, Chair, Healthcare Commission, 2004

We have made significant progress in recent years, but we all know that we need to do more. We all need to work better together and improve our services more quickly. This change process will need close engagement with patients, service users, staff and the wider general public to achieve the transformation that is required.

The importance of the patient’s voice is recognised as being centrally important in the drive for service improvement. Listening to Patients A common criticism of the NHS is that it sometimes fails to reflect or respond to the views and experience of patients and public when planning and delivering NHS services.

“To identify realistic and manageable ways for clinical teams to learn directly from their patients and carers about their needs so that they can be met better.” Aim of the Discovery Interview

The Discovery Interview process is used by teams to improve the way that they meet the needs of their patients and carers......through listening to their stories about the impact of their illness or condition on their everyday lives, and linking what they learn with their own professional knowledge and experience. The Essence of the Discovery Process
