Stakeholder Engagement

Participatory Action Research Project(s)• CETAD, at Lancaster University have a evidenced capacity to deliver

organisational development projects which bring together clinical/technical and workforce from different agencies across the system to explore the defined issues and as a holistic group to identify and work on solutions.

• It empowers individuals to find solutions to their own problems, supports their learning and development, achieves practice outcomes and encourages sustainability once the project has 'ended'.

• The current project in Urgent and Emergency Care Project in Blackpool provides a template for additional complimentary work elsewhere in the region

Stakeholder Engagement

Digital Think Tanks• A proven approach utilised by the Cumbria Rural Health Forum. Workshops

(facilitated by University of Cumbria) representing stakeholders from different delivery partners work together to examine opportunities to implement new technologies to improve their practice, meet new guidelines, address unmet clinical needs.

• Follow up meetings with the clinical group are then structured around addressing emerging issues, influencing and advocacy of key stakeholders and selecting suppliers.

• Delivers a report reviewing needs and opportunities for a pathway or service, with an action plan for support to implementation.
