Thing 16 – Advocacy, speaking up for the profession and getting published

I’ve little to say on thing 16. I suppose the only area of advocacy that I have been involved in is the promotion of the service I work in, as well as supporting colleagues in gathering information for stakeholder feedback.

It is important that any service that you provide is recognised by your users and can be demonstrated as contributing to the wider goals of the organisation that you work for – otherwise we wouldn’t be here.
