At the beginning of the year we thought that it would be the last time that we sent out emails regarding the ‘next’ cohort of the Ambulatory Emergency Care Network. However the continued interest in joining surpassed our expectations and we had sites who had missed the deadline asking to be considered for Cohort 10! So we find ourselves once again advertising the next cohort for AEC.
The next cohort of the programme has been scheduled to commence on 21st September 2016, if there is enough interest. The programme is designed as a collaborative and teams from health communities sign up (8 per team). So far we have worked with over 110 health care teams across England and Wales to support them to rapidly expand ambulatory emergency care with great results. Each programme runs for 12 months and participating trusts are supported in a number of ways.
The support includes: ·
- 4 National events (8 places at each event) ·
- Topic specific master classes ·
- Webinars ·
- Site visits ·
- 1-1 help as needed ·
- Expertise on measurement ·
- A Return on Investment calculator ·
- Measuring patient experience and using experience based design to improve services ·
- Sustainability assessment ·
- Members web resource repository for all outputs from the programme from participating sites
A large portion of the programme is delivered remotely but there are a number of physical events. These are:
- Four National Events (1 every 3 months)
- Measurement Master Class
- Tariff Workshop
- Nursing Master Class
- EBD Workshop
