“A well presented excellent course with lots of worked examples.” – Marketing Yourself and Your Service – Stansted

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 in Stansted 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. If we truly believe in the public service values of the NHS then we must all focus on the patient and client perspective. Marketing can help us do this.
