Not A Consultation podcast
Stand’s podcast Not A Consultation is a place to capture and share some of the ever-growing body of learning on patient and public involvement and NHS service change. We invite guests to share with us their experiences, thoughts and reflections.
We look at case studies, share innovation, analyse guidance updates, hear first-hand accounts from experienced practitioners, and answer listeners’ questions.
Our unique Service Change Snakes and Ladders training is an interactive session which combines learning with game play
We can transform your team’s understanding of service change by exploring the process and pitfalls of real-life scenarios. Our board game makes the complex concepts of service change engaging and accessible, significantly enhancing staff readiness to deliver change.
