Tell us your patient story

Patient stories are an invaluable way of helping us to understand how the services we deliver impact on you as patients. Patient stories are recognised as an effective and powerful way of making sure that the patient's voice is heard and that improvement of services is centred on the needs of the patient.

Research shows that patient stories bring experiences to life and encourage the NHS to focus on the patient as a person rather than a condition or an outcome. By gathering patient and carer narratives, we can discover what really matters to you.

If you would like to share your story, then contact a member of the Patient Experience Team and we will be pleased to arrange to meet with you.

'In recent times, I have utilised admissions to Richardson for respite direct from my fracture clinic, even at weekends. I have never worked anywhere with this efficiency before - it is reassuring and invaluable for the patient.'
