Posters: Wheels you don’t need to reinvent: The most useful lessons for shared learning

IMPRESS is working with the Lung Improvement Programme (LIP, click here for website) to facilitate the sharing of practical ideas which improve patient experience, safety, effectiveness and productivity.

The purpose is to stop reinventing wheels, so we also encourage colleagues who have tried changes that have not worked as well as they had hoped to share their experiences too.

Your poster should include:
  • Your Team details and contact email
  • Parts of the pathway to which it relates (to help indexing for search)
  • Title and aim
  • The problem addressed
  • The intervention (including cost estimates if known; and timescale)
  • The outcome: patient/carer benefit, productivity benefit (more for same or less)
  • Can it be sustained?
  • Has it been replicated - if so where
  • Has it been evaluated - details
  • Key learning – what would you do differently another time?

LIP has specifically called for examples of good practice in COPD care (click here, Word document), oxygen therapy and asthma management (click here, Word document). Therefore, if your poster answers the same questions you ought to be able to submit them to the LIP too. Some of these will be selected to be reviewed by NHS Evidence as part of the Quality and Productivity Challenge (click here for web page).
