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.

We are pleased to announce that The Point of Care Foundation has transferred its Experiences of Care programme to Picker. The programme, which offers training and support for quality improvement in health and care services, will now be integrated into our portfolio.
