Training doesn\u2019t equate to doing! We asked ourselves: How do we create an organisational culture in which staff connect to utilise these skills and work across professional and organisational boundaries? The relational element of Quality Improvement is often understated, yet we know that improvement skills account for 20% of what is required for successful changes. Healthcare systems work in part on how well the networks function which is determined by how people manage the care together. We asked our Quality Service Improvement and Redesign (QSIR) trained staff across 2 organisations how they connected to improve and learn from us how social network theory helped us make sense of this and what we did to improve. Join us to share our learning about connecting in complex systems and complex times and complex networks.<\/span><\/p> After this session, participants will be able to:<\/span><\/p> Sarah Galloway<\/a> <\/strong>South West London and St George\u2019s Mental Health NHS Trust; England<\/span><\/p> \u00a0<\/span><\/p> PART TWO: <\/b>Co-producing a different future: why interactions are crucial for large scale change<\/b><\/p> The workshop titled \u2018Co-producing a different future: why interactions are crucial for large scale change\u2019 will explore how organisations across England are working together to address physical inactivity. \u00a0 \u00a0 In 2018, the World Health Organisation launched the Global Action Plan on Physical Activity (GAPPA), aiming to achieve a 15% relative reduction in the global prevalence of physical inactivity by 2030. GAPPA provided 20 actionable recommendations to help countries increase levels of physical activity by addressing the cultural, environmental, and individual determinants of inactivity. However, a status report published in 2022 found that progress has been slow and unequal, and the COVID-19 pandemic has further limited progress. \u00a0 \u00a0 Addressing levels of physical inactivity requires a different approach. There is a need for a much more joined up, networked and collaborative approach to spread and scale successful programmes, policies and ways of working. \u00a0 \u00a0 In this session, attendees will have an opportunity to discuss a case study and a new model of large-scale change that has been developed to guide the approach in England. Delegates will leave the session with a framework that can be adapted to suit their context.<\/span><\/p> After this session, participants will be able to:<\/span><\/p>
