“Very good session. I am impressed.”

Marketing Yourself and Your Service

In the NHS, marketing does not always seem relevant. After all, isn’t it just about selling and advertising? Today’s Marketing Yourself and Your Service workshop was a fascinating insight into how useful many of the marketing techniques used outside the NHS can be in creating a patient-led NHS and in ensuring equity of service delivery. Here are just some of the comments from delegates (all reproduced with written permission):

“Very good session. I am impressed.”Vitelian Ikadeshi, Staff Nurse, North Essex Mental Health Partnership
“Very useful workshop.”Owen Chinembiri, Informatics Trainee, Mid Essex Hospital Trust
“Excellent workshop.”Dr S Bhan Kotwal, Consultant
“A very practical useful day. Lots of tools and information given that can be taken back into the workplace.”Laura Parker, Early Supported Discharge for Stroke Manager
“It was an enjoyable and interactive day that enabled me to understand and realise that my service needs marketing.”Ijeoma Adele, Deployment Assurance Manager, NHS East of England
“An entertaining delivery and thought provoking day.”Kevin Whiteley, Improvement Support Administrator, Enable East
