Experience Based Design workshop for NHS staff

The ebd approach (experience based design) is an exciting new way of bringing patients and staff together to share the role of improving care and re-designing services. It is being developed by the NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement as a way of helping frontline NHS teams make the improvements their patients really want.
You have the opportunity to learn about the ebd approach through a one day workshop covering the essential aspects on 23 June from 9.30am until 3.30pm at the University of Warwick campus in Coventry. The event is open to NHS staff only. Click here for more details.

Creating a Culture of Innovation in NHS Yorkshire and the Humber

Dr Stephen Lundin’s approach to Innovation - opportunity to participate in a workshop on 22nd January at Leeds Town Hall from 9.30 for 10am-4pm

We are facing the greatest leadership challenge in the history of the NHS – how to significantly increase the pace of quality improvement at the same time as significantly reducing the cost of healthcare. Innovation is key to ensuring our success
To deliver on this challenge we need to create a culture of innovation at every level of the system – in front-line teams, organisations, health communities and at a regional level.
A workshop will be held on Friday 22nd January with an internationally respected innovation leader – Dr Stephen Lundin. Stephen is best known as the author of the multimillion-copy, best-selling FISH books and more recently the best seller CATS: The Nine Lives of Innovation. The premise of CATS is that organisations don’t innovate, people do and it offers both a structure for innovation and a compelling reason to engage in the process. Please see the attached paper for more information.

The aim of the workshop will be to support leaders from across the region in developing a culture of innovation at an organisational, health community and regional level. The workshop will be practical in its approach and will inform the development of action plans to be taken forward by participants through 7, 30 and 90 day challenges..

The workshop will be of interest to a wide range of clinical and managerial leads e.g. service managers, clinical leads, innovation and improvement leads, HR and OD leads and commissioners. To support the implementation of high impact action plans we would encourage more than one attendee from each organisation to participate in the event.

To register for the event please send details of your name, position, organisation and any special requirements to innovation@yorksandhumber.nhs.uk

There are 100 places available for the event. Please circulate this invitation widely through your networks. Programme to follow in early January

For further information please contact laura.hibbs@yorksandhumber.nhs.uk or Paul Kelly on 0113 2952001
