We held the first event (Sprint 1) to create and consider draft options to improve the position of each service in the Clinical Services Plan.
The event was held over two days in April to develop a long-list of draft options. A mix of people attended including clinical, operational, and support staff.
Following this, a virtual ‘Check and Challenge’ event took place in May 2024 to give patient and public representatives, stakeholders, and a wider group of staff, the chance to consider and check draft options from earlier sessions. People were able to discuss the draft options, ask questions and make observations. They were also given a survey to complete where they could share their views and the reason for their opinions.
We held the Second event (Sprint 2) after the check and challenge event. A mix of people attended including clinical, operational, and support staff.
Attendees reviewed the feedback from the Check and Challenge group, and further developed the draft options, before considering the options as a collective group against the hurdle criteria (minimum criteria that must be met) to develop a short list of options.
Sprint 3 was a two-day event held in June with the purpose of considering recommendations related to the shortlist of options. Shortlisting of options was completed on September 5th ahead of options scoring, that took place on September 6 2024. Options scoring took 16 evaluation criteria and weighted them, to be used during the scoring session. Each of the four shortlisted options were then scored based on their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (a SWOT analysis).
