What Matters to you? Day 2024

What Matters To You? Day 2024 Case Studies

“Small conversations every day create the biggest change in every way #WMTY23”

The International ‘What Matters To You Day’ (WMTY) was hosted on Thursday 6th June 2024. Within NHSGGC our aim is to promote the importance of having a WMTY conversation every day.

Asking “What matters to you?” is about listening and understanding what really matters to people, including, patients, residents, service users, family members and colleagues. WMTY conversations empower people to be involved in decisions about their own health and care, greatly improving their outcomes.

Throughout the week of WMTY Day, 3rd – 7th June 2023, the Person Centred Health & Care Team shared case studies of WMTY conversations, with the aim of celebrating and encouraging meaningful conversations between those providing care and the people/families who receive it. These conversations help identify what is important to people and create a meaningful partnership with them, allowing them to be involved in decisions about their health and care which can greatly improve their wellbeing and outcomes.

In the below recordings, you will hear from a range of people in their experience of a WMTY conversation from different services across NHSGGC.
