An overview of Co Design with an example of its use in Critical Care
The use of co-design methods are increasingly considered as an essential skill in the toolkit of health and care leaders around the world. While there is evidence of the value that co-design can bring it is not yet being consistently used. This session will draw on a case study within a critical care environment and provide insights into what co-design is and isn’t, how you might use it in your practice and the benefits that can be gained.
Maintaining Momentum and Sustaining Projects
Sustaining change is one of the biggest challenges in quality improvement. Studies estimate that up to 70 per cent of change initiatives fail to stick. This is an unacceptable waste of time, effort, resource and hope. But wait! There are things that you can do to maximise the likelihood of sustainability of any quality improvement or change efforts. During this session Lynne will share six tips that you can use to maintain momentum and sustain the changes that will improve care and practice.
