Every day across health and care, teams are making changes that genuinely improve the experiences of patients, families and staff. Too often, those stories go unseen.

The Picker Experience Network (PEN) Awards 2026 are now open for submissions.

These Awards are about more than recognition. They are about celebrating what works, sharing learning, and helping to scale approaches that make care more person centred.

Behind every entry is a story of challenge, insight and impact, shaped by teams committed to doing things better.

We also recognise the organisations who continue to contribute to this shared learning. If your organisation entered the PEN Awards in 2025, a loyalty discount is available.

If you are delivering meaningful change in your organisation, this is your opportunity to share it.

The Modernisation Bill could reshape how patient and public voices influence health and care services in .

In our latest briefing, we examine proposals to:

- Abolish Healthwatch England and Local Healthwatch organisations
- Reform NHS Foundation Trust governance
- Embed patient voice within the Department of Health and Social Care - DHSC

While we welcome commitments to strengthen patient experience and involvement, important questions remain about independence, accountability and how patient voice will be protected in the future.

Our Experience-Based Co-Design (EBCD) training creates lasting improvements in the experience of care for patients and staff, by transforming patient, carer and staff experiences into joint priorities in the design process.

Our one-day in-person training course (or four 2-hour sessions online) teaches the theory and practice of EBCD, backed with free online Toolkits, coaching and expert support for your research or improvement initiative, and free membership of our community of practice.

“I gained an understanding of EBCD in an informative, interactive, and supportive environment.”
