The Discovery Interview process aims to gather stories describing what it is like to be a patient. Patient's stories are gathered by trained interviewers in one-to-one interviews using the 'spine'. Presenting these uninterrupted stories to local multi-disciplinary project teams enables them to identify needs and plan improved ways to meet them.
This consultation has now closed and is awaiting the formal response.

The purpose of the work is to hear patients and carers accounts of their experience, in their own words, by telling their story. We refer to these stories as 'discovery interviews'.
