Since 2014, first-year medical students at the University of Leicester, have been learning how to bring online consultations into the real-world of health and care delivery, with Patients Know Best.

This year, the students wrote reflective essays of their experience. The winning essays were selected by a group of volunteer patients, for the 2020 prize draw sponsored by Patients Know Best. Understanding the depth of learning outcomes has been profound. This education programme is certainly something we will continue to support as we welcome our next generation of health and care professionals to the sector.

Connecting intensive care patients with families during Coronavirus

One of the most difficult parts of the Coronavirus pandemic for patients and their families has been the unfortunate, but necessary, restrictions imposed by NHS organisations on visiting.
