The impact of Bridges

In 2021 we have delivered Bridges programme to 25 cohorts of acute and community healthcare teams working across pathways that support patients with cancer, respiratory problems, heart failure, diabetes, lymphoedema, neurological conditions, stroke, brain injury, musculoskeletal conditions, falls, waiting for surgery, return to work, and live with palliative and long term conditions.

The impact of bridges

We have carried out more than 20 different research and service improvement projects since 2008 and published and presented our work in many different health and social care conferences across the England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Estonia and Sweden.

If everyone used Bridges with just 5 patients this means that 1500 will have been asked their priorities, ideas, hopes and fears and are given space to reflect on their successes and efforts, and set goals that mean something to them and their family.

  • Inspiring People to Live Well and Work Differently.

    As a team we share the same ethos and philosophy that drives our passion to create the best experience and environment for patients to live well. Bridges provide opportunities for both patients and professionals to work collaboratively to enhance self-management skills, knowledge and confidence.
