Event details
A four-week introduction to Patient Leadership, led by David Gilbert. Next cohort June 2025.
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’.
About this programme:
- The programme is designed for both patients and non-patients to explore together different facets of this emerging social movement. It is for Patient and Carer Leaders, health professionals, managers, non-clinical staff and those from the independent, voluntary and charitable sector. And open to international attendees.
- This programme lays the foundations for understanding patient leadership. It leads you through the principles of patient leadership, what it is and where it came from, the qualities of an effective patient leader, support needed and models of embedded patient leadership. For patients, users, carers and staff (clinical, managerial).
