This event began 01/05/24 and repeats every week on Wednesday until 22/05/24
A four-week introduction to Patient Leadership, led by David Gilbert.
Patient Leadership signals a breakthrough in healthcare that moves beyond traditional engagement and uncovers the pioneering and transformative work of patient leaders – those affected by life-changing illness, injury or disability who want to lead change in the healthcare system. Or ‘those who have been through stuff, who know stuff, who want to change stuff’.
