The NHS Big Conversation for Improvement is taking place on Wednesday 11th and Thursday 12th May 2022. It is a fully virtual (online) space and is open to everyone specially people with lived experience, where you have personal experience of living with or caring for someone with a health condition and people with learnt experience, where you have acquired insights and experience through education and your role. There is no cost to join. You simply need to register in advance.
The Big Conversation will bring people together for a range of interactive discussions, workshops and presentations, giving a space for people to talk through the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, explore continuous improvement opportunities and share fresh insights and ideas on how to promote the improvement of health and care for the benefit of people using health and care services and for those working in and providing the services.
The Big Conversation will take place over 2 days
- You can choose how much or how little you can attend for.
- Feel free to join one session or stay for the whole time.
We want to provide a space, time and environment where anyone can share innovative health and care improvements.
This will be a chance to meet, talk and learn together about:
- Methods and approaches that have produced real changes for the benefit of enhancing patient and staff experiences,
- Or changes that have improved population health, and or reduced costs.
Day 1
Will have the look and feel of a “virtual conference” with presentations, health and care improvement case study sessions and skills-building improvement workshops, followed by an awards ceremony sharing and showcasing some of the best improvements from across the NHS.
Day 2
Will be shaped around “open conversations” hosted by members of the audience around topics and questions that matter to them.
