The NHS Ten Year Plan sets out where the health service needs to go. But what can we learn from teams already putting those ambitions into practice?

Picker’s new 'Learning from the Best' report connects the ambitions of the NHS Ten Year Plan with real world examples of outstanding practice recognised at the 2026 Picker Experience Network (PEN) Awards.
By mapping award winning initiatives against the Plan, the report highlights approaches already making a difference for patients, service users, families and staff, and considers what others can learn from them.
It follows our first 'Learning from the Best' report, published last October, and continues our commitment to identifying, celebrating and sharing good practice in person centred care.
Policy can set the direction, but delivering meaningful change depends on learning from the people and teams making improvement happen every day.

Help shape the future of cancer care in Europe.

Yesterday marked the launch of the CANCERSurvey - a major European study collecting the real experiences of people affected by cancer, from diagnosis through to life after treatment.

Too often, patient experiences are missing from the data used to shape cancer services and policy. This survey aims to change that.

By taking part, you can help build evidence to strengthen patient advocacy and support more person centred cancer care across Europe.

The survey covers multiple cancer types, is available in 15 languages, and runs until 16th November 2026.

We are proud to be conducting this independent study on behalf of the WECAN Foundation.

If you have been diagnosed with cancer as an adult in Europe, or if you are a carer, your experience matters.

Thank you to Southern Health and Social Care Trust for returning to this year's PEN Awards to deliver a keynote speech on behalf of their Seasons of Life project.

Seasons of Life is a trauma-informed service delivered into schools to help children cope with loss and grief, empowering young people to access early intervention support for their own wellbeing.

Since being crowned as Overall Winner at last year's Picker Experience Network Awards, the Seasons of Life project team have done some truly amazing work; such as expanding their team, transforming their leadership model, using social media to spread their message further, unveiling art memorials and even landing an interview with the BBC.

Speaking of winning their PEN Award, the Seasons of Life team said: 'Winning the award last year created a huge opportunity for us - it gave us a platform and visibility, it opened the doors for conversations that we were trying so hard to have, it gave us credibility, a chance to celebrate as a team and to celebrate with the young people in the schools too. And from there, the ownership of the project grew. When people connect with a purpose, they'll invest in the future. We were, and still are, determined to never stop telling the story and giving young people a voice and a chance to tell their stories too.'

Thank you again to the Seasons of Life project team at Southern Health and Social Care Trust for delivering such an insightful and inspirational speech today, and for showing what a positive impact the PEN Awards can have for individuals, businesses and projects within the industry.
