As humans we use stories to connect, to share and to make sense of the world. Stories open up channels of communication that evoke empathy and understanding. This helps to ensure that different ideas and perspectives are engaged with when decisions are made, which has become ever more important in light of the huge challenges we face in health and care.

So, join us for an evening of stories from all corners of health and care - from an act of kindness witnessed in the waiting room to an inspiring tale of overcoming the odds, and all the good, bad or ugly experiences in between. You will be introduced to new perspectives and new people through this eye-opening storytelling event.

These are real stories, written by real people at real places across England over recent months. They're read by professional actors, with the chance to debate, discuss (and have a drink) with a diverse group from across health and care.
