welcome you to Inspired Practice.
Who are we?
We are service users involved in learning and development for health, social care and education practitioners. Carol and Angie formed Inspired Practice out of a passion to enlighten service professionals and provide an insight that will help enhance the quality of service provision for people in need.
What We
Do
At Inspired Practice we create innovative learning materials for a wide range of professionals in statutory service provision and in the voluntary sector.

NHS guidance suggests involvement of service users in the commissioning, design, delivery and review of Health Care Education programmes.
