ABOUT THE ACADEMY

Welcome!

Our aim is to equip our community and colleagues with the skills and confidence to identify areas of Solent healthcare services that could be improved, and give them the tools to make positive change.

 

Most importantly, we strive to make sure the voice of our patients and community is at the heart of everything we do; shaping the changes and improvements we make.
