We are really excited to be shortlisted with for the Q Exchange funding for our proposal for innovating Respiratory outpatient services Gloucestershire through an Experience Based Co-Design Model.

Since the original draught, we have refined things further and within Gloucestershire are now aligned to the wider transformation programme for outpatients. This proposal is going to act as a test-bed for the methodology which will be applied to further specialties (4 further in the first instance). As such the learning that can be gained is already being built in.

The acute trust has also recently appointed a Patient and Public Engagement lead with experience of EBCD who is going to be involved in this project.

Comments or suggestions remain welcome as we aim to make this as productive as possible.
