Preparing a successful PENNA entry
Picker and Patient Experience Network (PEN) webinar
The Patient Experience Network National Awards (PENNA) recognise best practice in patient experience across all areas of health and social care in the UK. The aim of the awards is to improve patient and staff experience by sharing and celebrating best practice. With over 20 categories in this year’s awards, there is an opportunity for a diverse range of teams to showcase their work.
In this webinar from 24th May 2022, we discuss what makes a successful entry. Our panellists, consisting of judges and previous winners (from NHS trusts and industry), discuss how to use the judging criteria to create an impressive case study from your work. The conversation includes top tips on how to ensure you demonstrate the impact of your work on patient and staff experience.
Submissions for this year’s awards are now open and will close on Friday 1st July 2022.
Entering the PEN awards is about more than winning an award; it’s a chance to learn from peers and celebrate all the hard work that has gone into improving people’s experiences over the last year.
The awards will be hosted in-person at the University of Birmingham on Wednesday 28th September 2022. We’re looking forward to seeing you!
