Help Improve Inpatient Care, Diabetes UK
As part of its work to help staff and organisations improve the care they provide to people with diabetes whilst they are staying in hospital, the NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement would like to develop a collection of digital stories recording the inpatient experiences of people with diabetes.
The digital story is a recording of your story and you will be able to choose images or photographs and music to accompany your recording.
These recordings will be packaged as a tool to be used to support service improvement.
Recording your stories
To capture your stories they are running a three-day workshop for eight people, from Monday 28 to Wednesday 30 April 2008 near Coventry. Each person attending the workshop will make a digital story of their experience. All expenses will be covered for those who take part.
Taking part
If you are interested in taking part you can call or text the NHS Institute on 07786 191012 (they can call you back) or email hannah.dobrowolska@institute.nhs.uk to find out more.
