How to respond and demonstrate impact

In this webinar we will look at the research on what makes a good response and share the best practice framework to help you feel confident writing responses. This will include discussing what you think people might want from a reply, showing feedback has an impact of service delivery and service improvement, and strategies for responding to serious criticisms.

This session is great for new responders.

Framing the ask to patients and service users

Sometimes it can be difficult to know where to begin when thinking about asking for feedback within services. This interactive webinar will help you to; understand what motivates people to share feedback, explore why we find it difficult to ask for feedback and look at various ways of 'framing the ask' to patients and service users.

Responding to stories about mental health services

The aim of this webinar is to discuss how, as responders, you can use your knowledge and skills to respond in a way that demonstrates that you have listened, and how you plan to use the feedback to drive change and improve practice.

We’ll also discuss some of the recent research about why people may not want to share their feedback about mental health services, and how you can use this to encourage feedback within your area.
