Great to see our COO, Phillip Stylianides currently representing @pickereurope.bsky.social at the #PXCongress in #Jakarta, #Indonesia. In his session today, Phil explained how healthcare leaders can look past surface-level metrics to find insights that improve patient and staff experiences.

What does it really feel like to be a patient in today’s #NHS?

The 2024 #AdultInpatientSurvey, coordinated by us for the #CareQualityCommission (CQC), gives us the answers. It paints a picture of both progress and hard truths.

Good facilitation in healthcare isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about helping patients, staff, and carers find them together.

Our one-day course gives you the chance to practice those skills, learn from experienced facilitators, and grow your confidence.
