Why stories? How do we motivate and inspire staff to keep improving
patient, family and carer experience? How do we find out about the experience of illness? How can we better hear and listen to our patients, families
and staff? How do we sustain and nourish a person-centred,
listening, inclusive, compassionate culture? How do we connect with the excitement and aliveness of
experience? How do we capture hearts and minds of as many staff as
possible?

Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle

Why stories? Accepted as a powerful methodology Therapeutic value of de-briefing/collecting thoughts Person-centred We all love a good story Convey emotions, thoughts and ideas Provide us all with a template for living and coping Connect us as human beings Build community – three elements: patient; family/carer;
staff We remember a story

You can never understand a person until you consider things from their point of view …… until you climb inside of their skin and walk around in it

Speaker feedback“This is the first time in my life that I have been asked to tell my story to NHS staff and I really feel I have been heard!”
“Thank you for making this possible – I feel great that everyone listened so carefully to me.”
“I have never spoken in public before but now I would like to do it again.”

Staff / audience feedback “To think of everyone as an individual with individual needs” “ Patient and carer both need to be looked after” “ “To be strong in life is not to have never fallen, but when you do
fall, to keep getting up again” – spoken by Isabella, one of the speakers today”
“That so much is going on behind the image a person presents.” “Now I won’t just hear – but I will listen”
Feedback provides evidence people are inspired and taking action
Regular attendance of 90 - 140 staff Audit trail staff practice change to story telling events Patient Surveys used to measure improvement

Some changes made because of stories Staff feedback forms require staff to specify planned changes to
practice e.g. from feedback:
“Involve carers of each patient I work with, as they are the experts”
“Share what I have learnt at our next team meeting to ensure we improve practice”
“Tell fellow students about these amazing stories/experiences”
“Do a work based assessment on care of the dying”
End of life care policy includes walking to the end of the ward with the family when a patient dies
Recliner chairs provided for fathers of women in labour and for families/carers of inpatients with a learning disability
Staff increasingly using stories within their day to day work

complaints, surveys, NHS Choices are all stories from our patients, families/carers

carer stories Patient/carer story at Trust Board every month Patient speakers being invited to speak at RUH
