Urgent and Emergency Care Learning and Improvement Network East of England

The East of England Urgent & Emergency Care Learning & Improvement Network brings together clinical, operational and system colleagues to learn from one another and accelerate practical improvements in patient flow and outcomes.

At our previous in-person session, organisations identified improvement actions and developed PDSA tests to take forward locally. Since then, the network has continued to support shared learning through virtual sessions, Lunch and Learns and seed-funded improvement projects.

The October workshop will bring teams back together to examine what has been tested, what has changed and what we are learning across the region.

Our existing focus on improving flow across the UEC pathway will continue, including alternatives to admission, front door flow, frailty and length of stay. The emphasis will be on moving from discussion to practical improvement and identifying what should happen next.

What to expect

This will be a structured and interactive working session. Teams will have the opportunity to:

• share progress from local PDSA tests and improvement work

• hear approaches and emerging learning from across the region

• explore barriers affecting patient flow

• identify where successful practice could be adapted or spread

• agree practical actions for the next improvement cycle

Who should attend

We particularly welcome colleagues who are able to influence and deliver change, including:

• Urgent and emergency care and ED clinical leads

• UEC and ED operational leads

• Acute medicine and SDEC teams

• Nursing leads

• Frailty services

• Patient flow and discharge teams

• Community and virtual ward colleagues

• Ambulance service colleagues

• Improvement and transformation teams

Multidisciplinary representation is encouraged, recognising that improving UEC flow requires action across organisational and service boundaries.

Places are limited, so please register as soon as possible.
