About this Event
What if safer and more equitable healthcare was shaped by the communities you work with every day?
We are inviting leaders from Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) organisations across Greater Manchester to join a facilitated forum focused on listening, learning and working differently together for improving patient safety and reducing health inequalities.
VCFSE organisations play a critical role in supporting people who are most at risk of experiencing unsafe or unequal healthcare. You see the gaps, the barriers, and the unintended harm – often long before it shows up in data or policy.
This forum brings together community leaders from across Greater Manchester with the team from the NIHR Greater Manchester Patient Safety Research Collaboration (GM PSRC) to explore how we can work differently and more effectively together to create real-world impact.
The focus of the session is twofold:
- To understand how VCFSE organisations and NIHR GM PSRC can work together in ways that are genuinely useful, respectful and impactful for communities
- To collaboratively map practical routes to impact – from community insight to action, influence and change
This is not a presentation-heavy event. It is a facilitated, interactive space designed for open conversation, shared learning and joint problem-solving.
Together, we will explore:
- What safer healthcare looks like from a community perspective
- Where collaboration could make the biggest difference
- What needs to change to ensure community knowledge leads to meaningful impact, not just consultation
Your experience, relationships and insight are essential to shaping work that leads to safer care across Greater Manchester.
Who should attend
Leaders and senior representatives from voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise organisations working with communities across Greater Manchester. This includes community groups, charities and grassroots networks.
Why attend
To influence how patient safety work is shaped locally, connect with peers in Greater Manchester, and help define routes to impact that reflect the realities of the communities you serve.
What insight from your work could shape safer care for your communities?
Your experience matter – please join the conversation!
