At Picker, it is this simple but ambitious vision which guides everything we do. Our work is driven by public benefit, never by profit, and puts individual needs at the centre of health and social care provision. Our researchers work with policy makers, providers, practitioners, and the public to understand and measure people’s experiences of care – and to ensure that these experiences are valued by all.
Picker Group acquires the Patient Experience Network (PEN)
Picker is excited to announce the acquisition of PEN (the Patient Experience Network), combining our breadth of expertise and knowledge in person centred care across the private and public health & care sectors.
