A half-day workshop for healthcare professionals and commissioners in diabetes
Do you want to understand the experiences and views of people who use your services? Have you tried and met obstacles? Do you struggle to get more than the usual people to sign up? This half-day workshop is an introduction to the practical approaches that will help you engage the right people in ways that are proven to work.
It will cover a range of practical steps from setting the purpose of engagement, to recruiting the right people, to getting the most out of involvement activity. It will also look at some of the common problems that people face and offer ways of overcoming them.
