We’re pleased to announce that more 40 health and care professionals have joined our ambassador programme, bringing total membership to 103.
Each new ambassador adds to a growing network of experienced clinicians, academics and care leaders who share a commitment to making personalised care the standard, not the exception.
The ambassador programme creates a practical partnership between the Personalised Care Institute and frontline professionals. Together, we work to show what personalised care looks like in real settings and why it matters. The aim is simple: to support wider adoption across health and social care so people feel informed, confident and in control of their own health and wellbeing.
Our ambassadors represent a wide range of professions and specialties. They work across primary care, secondary care, social care, academia and industry. What unites them is a shared belief that when you shape care around the individuals needs and preferences, it leads to better health outcomes.
They champion personalised care in practical and visible ways. Many write for leading journals and professional publications. Others contribute blogs to respected health organisations and royal colleges. They speak on podcasts, present at conferences and share real-world examples of how personalised approaches improve outcomes and experiences for both patients and professionals.
Dr Jenni Naisby, Clinical Director for Research, Education and Partnerships for the Personalised Care Institute, says:
“Our ambassadors are vital in helping us ensure we’re embedding personalised care, so people experience support that is shaped around what matters to them. I’m looking forward to welcoming new members to our growing network and working together to show the real difference personalised care makes to people’s lives.”
