Adult Language in 2013 3 leaders: 3 clinical areas, 3 subgroups Linda - Acute Melissa - Rehab Julia – Community Members allocated to 1 relevant subgroup Each meeting assigned to a subgroup and chaired by that leader (e.g. Community meeting in November)

Adult Language in 2013 continued Trial of new CAP-D form Joint CAP within meetings Article discussion within meetings Group based data collection and clinical discussions (e.g. assessments available, positives and negatives for each)

Positives Large group size Motivated and committed group members CAPs personally relevant to SP’s area of clinical practice Practical application of CAPS Improved communication & participation in meetings Positive clinical discussions & knowledge gained from other clinicians
