What Matters to you? 2024

What matters to you, matters to us

‘What matters to you?’ day is an annual celebration of putting people at the heart of their care or support. This year celebrations will be held on Thursday 6 June 2024. What matters to you conversations help teams understand what is really important to each individual person. ‘What matters to you?’ is an opportunity to stop and think a little more about how we are listening, who we are listening too and what we are doing as a result.  When people are involved in decisions about their health and care, it can greatly improve outcomes.   

Examples of WMTY conversations, between staff, patients, families and carers throughout NHSGGC, and the positive outcome they have had, will be shared via the Core Brief and our social media channels, please lookout for these.  Previous WMTY case studies can be viewed here

On the week leading up to WMTY Day, there will be the opportunity to join WMTY mini lunchtime seminars, on MS Teams, featuring both internal and external presenters.  Further information about the seminars, presenters and how to join, can be found here.
