Excited to announce this lunch’n’learn session on Community Appointment Days with speakers Laura Finucane and Adam Lent. Hosted by the AHPs in QI SIG. Thursday June 13th, 12:30-13:30.

Laura Finucane is a consultant Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist at a Sussex NHS physio practice that were facing long waiting lists full of people with complex conditions – and staff feeling disconnected and stuck on a hamster-wheel. They decided to try a radical new approach and organised a series of Community Appointment Day (CAD) events and successfully cut waiting times by a third.

Join this session to hear the story of how and why they did it. There’ll be an opportunity to ask questions as well.

Adam Lent, Senior Consultant at The King’s Fund, will also join us to talk about other health services trying similar innovations and how it might be possible to spread these strengths-based, community-oriented approaches.
