The QNPICU Carer Engagement and Involvement Webinar emerged from our desire to keep meaningful conversations about carer engagement going.
This webinar aimed to provide a dedicated space to share best practices, celebrate achievements, and inspire services to enhance their carer engagement or begin new initiatives. It also served as an opportunity to revisit the QNPICU Carer Engagement and Involvement Guidance, published in August 2023, to maximise its impact.
The webinar brought together 55 delegates and featured inspiring speakers from member services, NHS Trusts, charities, and larger organisations.
The highlights document provides an overview of the presentations and feedback. Member services can also access the webinar recording and presentations on our online discussion forum, KnowledgeHub.
