Never Stop Learning From Your Patients

 Do you listen to your patients? Do you get the complete view? Can you learn something new from their experiences? This Libraries Week try something different.

We’ve developed our Patient Voices collection to give you a different perspective.

How have patients coped with covid? What is the impact of disability on a family? How do people react to a cancer diagnosis? Read patient stories to learn more.
