Project title NHS Lothian Values Based Framework - Knowledge Exchange
and Sustainability Manager
Funding details NHS Lothian
Research team Heather Wilkinson, Juliet Macarthur
Dates June 2008 to May 2009
Type of project Current knowledge exchange project
Keywords Health services
Project description Juliet is working on knowledge exchange relating to a number of projects being delivered in NHS Lothian all of which focus on improving the patient experience through attention on fundamental values. Many of these values centre on relationships not only between healthcare professionals and patients but between the professionals themselves. This involves implementation of the 'Senses Framework' (Nolan et al 2006) and the '10 Essential Shared Capabilities for Mental Health Practice' (NES 2007). The work involves collaboration with clinical teams in hospital and community services to identify examples of positive work from evidence and practice
and develop dissemination strategies to promote awareness raising and adoption on a wider scale.
