Patient Charter
New Patient Charter empowers patients and encourages partnership - Download free poster
Primary Care nurses should display their certificates of accredited education in the consulting room and make sure that this education is detailed in practice leaflets and websites. This is just one of the key messages to come from our new Patient Charter for managing long term conditions.
Your education, evidence-based knowledge and skills are vital tools in building trust with your patients, and a patient who trusts you is more likely to listen to what you have to say. If you can relate your education to patient benefits then your consultation can be off to a good start while the patient is still in the waiting room!
Patients may assume you have good quality education but are often afraid to ask. The Patient Charter is designed to help more patients have the confidence to ask the right questions and help them build trusting relationships with their health team. You can make it even easier for your patients by displaying evidence of your accredited continuing professional development prominently in your workplace.

2009 Course Programme - All courses can be 'locally delivered'
The new Course Programme contains the dates and locations of all courses which are enrolling now. It also acts as a check list of courses which can be delivered in your local area.
