patients at the heart of the quality improvement effort - but not forgetting staff a focus on designing experiences, not just systems or processes where staff and patients participate alongside one another to co-design services
For me, this is about ‘Oh God, they’re our patients, aren’t they?’ When people watch the film, they might think ‘I remember that lady.’ They know they’re our patients – they can’t get away from the fact – but it actually makes it more real for them. Whatever way they’re captured, it’s about capturing it so that people recognise ‘These are patients I have cared for, nursed, met, who are saying this’… and I think that’s what is so different from other improvement work. in terms of things like discovery interviews and focus groups. It’s that direct connection between them.

The other thing I didn’t raise, and I should have done, because it does annoy me intensely: the time you have to wait for a bedpan. Elderly people can’t wait. If we want a bedpan, it’s because we need it now. I just said to one of them, ‘I need a bedpan please.’ And it was so long bringing it out, it was too late. It’s a very embarrassing subject, although they don’t make anything of it, they just say, ‘Oh well, it can’t be helped if you’re not well.’ And I thought, ‘Well, if only you’d brought the bedpan you wouldn’t have to strip the bed and I wouldn’t be so embarrassed.’

What worked for us was the frequent short meetings, and keeping in close contact. And I think for the patients and relatives to be there kind of held the staff to account, and to their action points. I mean they did divvy things up… there was something about, definitely for staff because of that thing that I said before about that humanistic kind of connection that it really drove them to complete actions. (Interview #08) I think I would probably do more co-design events and sort of do more feedback as you go along really. I think definitely I would have benefitted from more co-design. (Interview#05)

I think that it worked because it was collaborative and there were mixed groups of people doing the work, they held each other to account. And kept people on track where perhaps it might have slid… I think that it's harder to do the co-design or collaboration after that initial problem solving phase because I think health professionals are used to being in charge of making things happen.(Interview #10) I think there's a very big recognition of co-design as a way to go forward with things, but a lot of the services are steeped in the processes they've already got. And I think they're finding it hard to see where does it fit in with what we currently do. And it's about that medical model I think, where you've got the patient [and] carers who are just the receivers of service, ‘what do they know?’ (Interview#07)

We got together and we discussed the narratives and we tried to identify, in collective discussion, where or how things could be improved, but when it then came down to what they were actually going to do, those decisions were taken by the frontline managers, the nursing managers, and their line
think you can then identify how the hierarchies worked within the organisation, co-designed up to a point, and then it reverted back to a much more hierarchical way of organising things... a workshop with a draft action plan which was then taken away and worked on behind closed doors.

[The co-design group was] nerve wracking
Building prototypes helps a group to move beyond talking and thinking about a problem to actually making progress toward action. Perhaps most important, they are real and physical –that is, they assume some material manifestation.
Create something quickly, test it, and then iterate the design
to a fully acted out service (role play)
should ideally happen with potential users of the service and may take place

It was quite funny to see them lifting up their chairs … It’s a symbol
those patients’ seats, and it’s about the staff and the patients together, just moving everything around, so it becomes the symbol for the whole project.
