March 2026 LES Actions for Engagement Calendar
March Actions for Engagement
March’s calendar focuses on building trust and sustaining patient engagement, aligning with World Lymphoedema Day on 6 March. The prompts encourage reflection on clinical practice, research, and professional growth, highlighting small, practical actions that strengthen relationships with patients and teams. Each suggestion supports purposeful CPD, evidence-informed decision-making, and thoughtful engagement in everyday care, helping you notice what works, explore learning opportunities, and take manageable steps that make engagement meaningful across the month.
Small ideas. Practical prompts. Use what fits.
Each month we’ll share a new Actions for Engagement Calendar with simple prompts designed to spark reflection, learning, and small actions in practice. These aren’t a checklist — just ideas you can dip into.
