The Patient Engagement and Experience Conference 2024

It is commonly understood amongst healthcare providers that care outcomes improve when staff and patients collaborate in their design and delivery. Numerous NHS initiatives already exist to encourage patient feedback, enhance inclusivity and facilitate continuous learning for service providers. However, barriers remain particularly for marginalised communities who are often underrepresented within current engagement data. These challenges must be addressed, as well as drawing on new and innovative ways to access, collate and analyse patient perspectives, if patient engagement work is to continue to facilitate improvements in the overall patient experience.

• 90.3% of patients felt involved in decisions about their care and treatment, according to the 2023 GP Patient Survey
• Overall satisfaction with the NHS fell by 7% from 2021 to 2022 to 29%, according to the King’s Fund public satisfaction NHS and Social Care survey
• According to the February 2023 Friends and Family Test, 80% of A&E and 90% of inpatient respondees would positively recommend the services they utilised

Join us at Enhancing Care: Revolutionising Patient Engagement and Experience 2024 to hear the latest guidance on improving patient experience and care outcomes through co-produced health services. High-level keynotes will provide key insights into the major challenges healthcare providers face and the steps they can take to improve participation.
