Practical insights of using HLS 09 December 2021

Thanks to all those who joined our ‘Putting people first- Part 2’ session on 9th December. This was jointly hosted between Healthcare Improvement Scotland and Iriss and we had over 100 people from across Scotland and beyond- England, Wales and New York! We will be spending the next few weeks creating an exciting programme of guidance, toolkits and support for those who want to take forward your own experiment in Human Learning Systems. In the meantime here are links to the various presentations and discussions from the 9th December  and you will also find the links to the presentations from the first event held on 17th November Putting people first: How health & social care in Scotland can be different
