IRISS Forum 2011

Designs for the future

The IRISS Forum 2011 will focus on service design. Traditional approaches to improving service delivery tend to focus on consultative processes that create new policies, regulations and guidance. An alternative approach is for service providers and people who access support to work collaboratively, using Service Design processes to generate insights, develop ideas and then test them out.

Designing services together ensures outcomes important to people are the focus of the improvement process, advancing the personalisation agenda and enabling greater involvement and transparency by sharing the role of improving care and support.

This year’s Forum will provide you with an opportunity to learn more about Service Design, how it has shaped service provision in England, and how IRISS and service providers in Scotland have embraced this approach.
