Storytelling moves people beyond data in healthcare

It is easy to become disconnected from the experiences of those affected health problems.

Healthcare is innately personal, yet often generalised to symptoms,  statistics and pathways. While drawing on robust data matters, it is easy to become disconnected from the everyday realities of people who are receiving or delivering healthcare.

Indeed, those experiencing healthcare problems can often be viewed only through the lens of their symptoms rather than as a whole person.

Storytelling makes people carE MORE

Storytelling can make healthcare more compassionate and purpose-led.

Healthcare is a multi-varied field. Yet, whether your offering is medicines, devices, diagnostics or other services, building compassion is vital.

Storytelling is a powerful way to understand the experiencesof everyone involved in a healthcare journey.

Storytelling builds strength in healthcare

Storytelling can show the power of  healthcare solutions to transform people's lives.

Stories expand people’s perspectives so that they can consider the wider context within which healthcare operates.

Storytelling connects people and builds a sense of purpose in healthcare. It reminds everyone involved in healthcare that they are not simply relieving symptoms, but transforming people’s lives.

HOW HEALTHCARE STORYTELLING WORKS

customised for your business

Healthcare Storytelling draws on our storytelling models and methodologies developed over more than a decade. Crucially, our programmes are customised so that participants learn to tell healthcare stories in the context of their own work.

What participants will learn

Healthcare Storytelling is a customised workshop, so we begin with a conversation to discuss the needs of your learning group(s). During the workshop, drawing on our unique storytelling approaches, participants learn to tell powerful healthcare stories that clarify their mission and build enthusiasm for action within their audiences. We would be delighted to discuss your Healthcare Storytelling needs.

Flexible delivery

Healthcare Storytelling is suitable for small groups who work within a similar healthcare context. Delivery can be face-to-face on either your premises, or at our training facility in Oxfordshire. Alternatively, the workshop can be delivered online via Zoom or Teams. Contact us for more details.

Storytelling With Data

Storytelling

Data becomes more valuable once it has been mined for actionable insights and crafted into illuminating stories. If you’d like your team(s) to learn to craft stories with data, we’d be delighted to help, so please get in touch.

A few commonly asked questions about our training

There’s often confusion in business about what exactly storytelling in business is and how it can be effectively taught. It’s worth taking the time to see the answers to these commonly
asked questions before you contact so you know what you may expect from our training and our approach.

Why do you run so many different storytelling workshops?

Storytelling in business is a powerful skill. We have found that people need to learn storytelling skills within the context of their day-to-day work. We offer context relevant courses that enable participants to apply their new-found storytelling skills to their work right away. Please get in touch to discuss your group's learning needs.

Can we have a workshop that includes content from two different workshops?

Yes, we often blend workshop modules so that we address a range of learning needs in a workshop programme. You may need a longer workshop to accommodate all elements. In some cases, two programmes differ so much that they need to be run separately. Please get in touch to discuss your group's learning needs.

How does Storytelling with Data differ from Data Visualisation?

These two programmes are completely different, yet highly complementary. Storytelling with Data focuses on learning to discover, craft and tell insightful and persuasive stories with data. Data Visualisation focusses on learning to bring data to life visually so that the insights conveyed from graphs, tables, or infographics are clear and easy to grasp. Since these two workshops are highly complementary, many clients book both to support their teams. Please get in touch to discuss your group's learning needs.

Can you provide training for a large group of people?

While most of our workshops are suitable for smaller groups, we can and do run workshops for larger groups too, depending on the context. Please get in touch to discuss your group's learning needs.

We have a limited time for training, do you run shorter workshops?

The more time you allocate to training, the deeper the learning will be. While we recommend a minimum of a day for most of our workshops to support participant learning, we can and do run shorter sessions in certain situations. Please get in touch to discuss your group's learning needs.
