Helping organisations deliver health and care service change projects.
We provide strategic communications, and patient and public engagement for the NHS and Public Health.
Our team brings 25 years’ experience of leading and delivering public engagement and consultation, communications and marketing programmes across private, public and healthcare sectors.
Urgent temporary service changes
Emergencies can happen, and when they do, making sure you meet your legal duties (especially the duty to involve the public) isn’t always easy.
Stand has developed a new briefing. In it, we take you through what urgent temporary service change is (and what it isn’t), what your statutory duties are, and what guidance is available from NHSE to support you.
Listening exercise for a non-surgical oncology service transformation
South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board appointed Stand to plan, lead, deliver and report on an inclusive listening exercise that involved local people in discussions about how to organise outpatient clinics for people receiving non-surgical treatment for cancer. We involved 954 people in thinking about permanently changing the way those outpatient appointments are provided.
