Glasgow G2 5SGWe are excited to announce the first in-person Q event in Scotland for a number of years. Join us and fellow Q members from across the UK to network, share learning and explore shared challenges.
Inspired by the success of our in-person community events last year, our regional collaboration events will provide a space to learn from each other and make progress in the challenging context we are working within.
Q is committed to supporting services to tackle waits in ways that support wider transformation goals.
Join us to explore the application of improvement methodology to improve access to services.
What’s in it for you as a Q member?
- Time out to meet fellow Q members
- Share knowledge, successes, challenges, and perhaps even get support for your work
- Exposure to collective intelligence and generation of new ideas for collaboration
- Use of “Open Space” to maximise the energy, optimism and solutions that are needed to address the complex challenges facing the health and care system.
A key theme for the day is using quality improvement methodology to improve access to services. Thomas Monaghan from Healthcare Improvement Scotland will be joining us to share learning from work across Scotland to improve access and reduce waiting times across a range of settings.
We will also be running an Open Space, which enables collaborative problem solving, improved communications and stronger relationships. For more information on open space and it’s benefits, this blog explains what you can expect. From UN conferences to local community groups, it’s a format that has been used successfully in many contexts to bring people together and set in motion meaningful change.
We invite you to bring your own challenges around the question:
‘Thinking about the current context of the health and care system, what are the most important conversations we need to be having about collaborative improvement that will help you to progress your work?’
This event is for Q community members.
