🤝 ✔️ The first recommendation of PCC and NICON’s 2025 report People to Partners, was that a People as Partners Strategic Framework should be developed. Such a framework could become a common reference point for our joint approach on why we should partner, on what we should partner on and the principles by which we should seek to partner with the public and each other.

💬 Meadhbha Monaghan, PCC Chief Executive speaking at NICON 2026 on boosting patient safety and public trust.

"A key aspect of patient safety and public trust is ensuring we listen to the public. How we can support people to be heard and how can we assist the system to listen?

"For PCC a critical answer to this question is a taking a regional approach to Independent Advocacy services”.
