We welcome you to the Centre for Care Excellence, a collaborative partnership between Coventry University and University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW). CCE is a unique and important development for patients, service users and families, and for nurses, midwives and allied health professionals (NMAHPs). Its aim is to empower staff at every level to be able to develop ideas to make ‘patient first’ improvements in care by creating new evidence for best practice, and sharing knowledge and expertise.
