About this event

The Engagement Leads Network is an opportunity for anyone involved in Healthwatch engagement to learn from each other and share good practice.

The topic for this meeting is ‘living our values in our engagement work and strategies’.

Our shared values are Equity, Collaboration, Independence, Truth and Impact. Healthwatch Darlington will share their approach to putting our values into action, specifically as they relate to our engagement work. They will lead a discussion on how we can embed our values into our engagement planning and delivery.

We encourage you all to read the values into action ideas already shared by local Healthwatch and think about these in relation to your own work. You can bring your own ideas and questions for your peers and the meeting hosts about work you are planning.
