Patient Carer Community
Patient learning journeys
PLJ’s are run by patients and carers for patients and carers. They start with a focus on the experiences of patients and carers – individual storytelling followed up with group discussion.
People find their own voice and their own expertise:
‘We’ve kept it hidden, not realising its value’
(PLJ participant)
The sessions offer opportunities for:
- Reflection and learning
- Moving on; a cathartic experience
- Becoming learner/task focused
- Giving back
- Partnership working
