What is Patient Opinion?

feedback of stories, and real-time improvements.

Social media reconfiguring the landscape
Social Media…
Is changing the way we interact with the health system…
People want to tell their stories – good and bad
People want real exchanges with their health providers
Different kind of relationship – more equal, more
collaborative, and more transparent
A responsive health service has the power to heal, just like
face-to-face relationships in care
The public is becoming the ‘responsible body’
