CEIM Experience Improvement Model for Health and Social Care

CEIM Experience Improvement Model is a simple 6-step framework that supports health and social services teams to make improvements directly related to feedback in a person-centred way. It incorporates two unique approaches, [1] an experience discovery conversation method, and [2] monthly reflective improvement meetings at the care or support team level.

About the CEIM Leaders programme

CEIM Leaders is a coaching skills development programme that enables health or social care teams to adopt and sustain the CEIM approach. 

This programme helps to build in-house team coaching capacity that will enable care or support teams to continuously improve the outcomes and experiences of the people who use health and social care services, through listening to and responding to feedback.

Programme Timeline

*All virtual sessions will be held on MS Teams

Components of the programme

The programme introduces participants to a range of concepts that support deep learning from feedback and provides insight into structures and approaches that enable health or social care teams to gather feedback and use this to meaningfully improve services, whilst also supporting the well-being of those working in health and social care teams.

The learning component of the programme is delivered over approximately 25 hours, of virtual webinars (Microsoft Teams) and in-person networking. This component focuses on the knowledge and skills required to understand and implement CEIM, and the coaching approach that will be adopted by CEIM Leaders.

The skills development component will require CEIM Leaders to work with an identified team from their own organisation over a period of time following the learning component in order to develop their coaching skills. This will include delivering short learning sessions (demonstrated during the programme’s learning component) and coaching teams to embed and sustain the CEIM approach. The CEIM leader will determine the time commitment required for this phase.

During this period the CEIM Leader will be supported by a mentor and through the CEIM Leaders' peer network.
