Chief Executive, Point of Care Foundation
Small Things are Big Things: why human relationships in healthcare matters and what can be done to strengthen them.
Jocelyn set the scene for the following two days focusing our attention on the importance of human relationships and how this is pivotal in all care settings. She looked at the latest research into what matters to patients about their care and what staff say about their experience at work, and at the evidence which shows that the relationship between the two is causal.
