TARGET GROUP
Participants who coordinate or are responsible for policies within an organisation or institution.
WHEN TO APPLY
Final part of the training course, ongoing.
AIM
To have a plan for how to implement the policy/service in the participant’s organisation /workplace.
MATERIALS REQUIRED
Guidelines, checklists.
TIME REQUIRED
30 minutes to 1 hour, ongoing.
DESCRIPTION
Participants work at different organisations, which will offer different services (e.g. hospitals, outreach clinics, GP surgeries, own practice).
Most intervention skills are applicable to all settings, but some may require personnel, financial or time resources that are beyond the organisations’ capacity. So every organisation needs to come up with an intervention program that also considers their specific work place and resources.
To develop an implementation plan specific to their needs and organisation, participants are encouraged to reflect on:
· the potential to implement intervention skills within their healthcare organisation
· the specific conditions and resources / limits within their organisation or institution
· the way intervention skills and steps need to be adopted in order to be implemented within the organisation
· the situations and conditions in which patients will benefit from a referral to another organisation (i.e. cases beyond the scope/skill/resources of that particular setting).
Participants may discuss their results, so differences between the services become apparent and ideas about how to adopt skills and services can be exchanged. Future networking or joint working between the organisations represented at the training course can be initiated.
