3. www.scottishhealthcouncil.org Findings from Research 1.Evidence suggests good quality participation in health services can lead to an improvement in person centeredness, safety, efficiency and effectiveness. 2.Enhanced outcomes from patient and public involvement requires good quality participation 3.A positive culture of participation among healthcare providers can contribute to these improvements as much as, if not more than, the participation itself. 4.Patient and public participation should be regarded as a key activity to achieve the 3 quality ambitions which NHSScotland is striving to achieve.

16. www.scottishhealthcouncil.org Tools in practice World cafe: “We used a few of the key questions from the facilitators’ notes to make ‘menus’ for the tables; (we also put the same questions in laminated ‘speech bubbles’ stuck to the paper tablecloths). It just added a wee bit extra to the proceedings and overall feedback from the participants was very favourable.” Scottish Health Council, Highland

17. www.scottishhealthcouncil.org Tools in practice Head, Heart, Carrier Bag and Bin: “NHS Shetland used this to evaluate their Quality Award Ceremony and a number of people commented positively that it was something different to use. As the Chief Executive was summing up the event he referred to the form (left on people’s chairs) and shared with the audience his individual responses to Head, Heart, Carrier Bag and Bin.” Scottish Health Council, Shetland
