What happens at a learning workshop?
The learning workshops provide a supportive environment for sharing learning and for formulating plans for action. At these two-day events, practices learn how to implement the improvement methodology and work in local divisional teams with a Division staff member to learn about the Improvement Model cycles that they will carry out in their practices. There are opportunities to hear from experts about quality improvement and the evidence in the topic areas of secondary prevention of coronary heart disease, diabetes, access and care redesign, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and chronic disease prevention and self management. Within the learning workshops, there are smaller facilitated breakout sessions where participants have an opportunity to learn from other practices about improvements they have made in their own settings.
