Using design methods helps to drive healthcare improvement.

Looking forward to sharing ideas with my anaesthetic colleagues on home soil.

The more I work within the area, the more useful, fun and crucial I see that co-design is.

Great to chat with Louise Lyons at #Quality2024 about her work in this field too.

It was a fabulous to share Glasgow Childrens hospital’s story of using design to improve our children’s operating theatres at the Quality Forum this afternoon. There was a great energy in the room.

Change is possible.

Alyson Walker Quality Forum Co-designing can come with challenges:

🔸Time: staff, children, parents 🔸Solutioneering
🔸Gathering feedback at stressful times
🔸Bringing people with you
🔸Managing expectations

We need to create time & space for clinicians to do co-design as the outcomes are too important!

Looking forward to sharing our Royal Hospital for Children, Glasgow theatre design journey @ the #Quality2024 IHI conference in London tomorrow.

Using design tools & methods lead to solutions that better meet user needs.

Reflecting on change with Helen Bevan @ #Quality2024 .

When we started our theatre improvements, we asked whether the journey was necessary. Design methods helped us realise it was, we built a team & now we are flying the flag that positive change is possible.

It is always great visiting the V&A Dundee and noticing something new. And it’s always great to see good people at Scottish Paediatric Anaesthetic Network. So great to combine the two today. Thank you very much for the invitation!

Delighted to be featured in the Healthcare Design this month. Co-designing with users delivers results to please children, young people, families & staff. It is a joy to see how children and families interact with the new space.

And right in the middle of the Scottish mist, a Japanese Garden.

A calm oasis
A moment in time to stop
And count our blessings

To those work in operating theatres/ORs….

Who supplies your scrubs?
And who washes them?

Using a co-design approach for healthcare improvements is rewarding, effective and fun.

I couldn’t be prouder of our work so far to transform patient & family experiences of coming to the operating theatre.
