Book now for summer sessions
We are excited to be able to announce that we will be running three Learn at Lunch sessions over the summer. On 2 July we will be presenting and debating the results from the CASC / AMaT Clinical Audit Census. The census provides a unique insight into how healthcare organisations resource their clinical audit function. On 1 August we will be looking at Appreciative Inquiry. This session was initially planned for 22 May, but we had to postpone this as the CASC Directors were both unwell. The session will introduce Appreciative Inquiry and delegates will be given an opportunity to utilise the technique in small groups. On 5 September we will be focusing on After Action Reviews. AARs are gaining momentum with lots of NHS teams utilising the approach to help better understand and manage their patient safety incidents. The session will explain the AAR four question approach and suggest hints and tips for AAR conductors.
To book on all or any of these Learn at Lunch sessions, please email us via info@clinicalauditsupport.com stating which session you would like to attend. Please note: all those who previously booked on Appreciative Inquiry will retain their place and be contacted by the CASC team prior to 1 August.
- 2 July: The Clinical Audit Census 2023 – key results and insights
- 1 August: Appreciative Inquiry – positive psychology and the road to improvement
- 5 September: After Action Reviews – what are they and how do you conduct them?
Important booking news
Historically we always shared zoom codes widely for our Learn at Lunch events on our flyers and via Twitter. Sadly, in June 2022 our breakfast meeting was attacked by a bunch of racists who had clearly picked up the meeting code online. Of course, we take this matter very seriously and have significantly changed our procedures. It is a shame that this will now increase the workload for us all, but it is a necessary change to protect the integrity of our events. Going forwards, if you want to book onto a CASC Learn at Lunch session then you will need to send an email to info@clinicalauditsupport.com Please note, that for the time being we are no longer taking bookings via Eventbrite as they are now charging for their services.
Can you help us?
We are also eager to hear about what events you would like us to run as part of our Learn at Lunch sessions going forwards. If you have any suggestions, then do please get in touch via the above email. We are also keen to use the events as an opportunity to give others the chance to showcase their work, so if you or your team would like to lead a future session and/or present information, then do please get in touch.
