Experience of Care Week is an international initiative being held 24 April to 28 April 2023. The week celebrates the work which is happening across health and social care to keep improving experiences of care for patients, families, carers and staff. Each day focuses on a life stage beginning from maternity and ending with bereavement. 

We welcome the opportunity to turn a spotlight on our work and recognise staff making changes for the better. During the week we will be sharing inspirational stories, learning more about roles within our Trust and hosting a number of interactive and engaging events.

Keep checking our social media pages as we will be sharing content regularly throughout the week and encourage you to share your content using #ExpOfCare.

Please find below our calendar of events and session booking links. The sessions are open to all and are being hosted by The Recovery College
