Participants wanted for exchange programme

The NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement is seeking participants and host organisations for the HOPE (HOspitals in EuroPE) Exchange Programme to encourage learning and the sharing of best practice.

The programme is open to managers and clinicians as well as NHS trusts that would like to host participants from Europe.

Participants will spend four weeks at a health organisation in Europe where they will be able to see how another healthcare system is structured, consider the similarities and differences when compared with the NHS and identify good practice that can be implemented on their return to the UK.

The programme runs from 17 May to 17 June 2010, at the end of which all participants across Europe come together for a conference to share their learning and present best practice.
