With pressure growing and resources being stretched, this event explored how to improve service capacity.
Designed for SACT professionals, this interactive training day enabled attendees to step back and reassess their service, helping them create a viable plan for improved capacity management. With demand for SACT continuing to rise and pressure increasing on teams, the day offered a timely opportunity to gain tools and strategies to increase efficiency within their units.
Leading your team to enhanced capacity management
This study day provided attendees with the key elements necessary to create an action plan and begin tackling demand pressures head on. Participants:
- Gained an understanding of the national capacity conclusions and service implications
- Enhanced prioritisation, productivity, and preservation within their SACT teams
- Improved efficiency by effectively reviewing their services and treatment pathways
- Utilised capacity and demand modelling to support targeted developments
- Achieved tangible improvements in protocol and prescribing systems
Developed with convenience in mind: attendees joined this online course remotely
Attendees took away useful techniques and new processes to manage demand and optimise capacity:
- Evidence-based examples and knowledge implementation: National guidance, concise tips, and implementable tools were shared
- Interactive presentations: Participants had the opportunity to ask critical questions and learn from the lessons of leading experts
- Closed-room discussions: Attendees benchmarked and shared their experiences with peers
- Agreed action plan: Delegates left the course with the confidence to make changes to their service
