The ALPS Programme
UPDATE- the story continues (view)
The HEFCE funded ALPS programme finished on 30th September 2010. We were very fortunate in getting some funding from the Strategic Health Authority to extend and embed the ALPS work for one further year.
Some funding supports 2 posts; (1 part-time Project Manager and 1 full time Teaching Fellow). The remainder of the money is being offered to part-support collaborative network activity across the 5 ALPS sites. The SHA wished collaborative working to continue and that we should develop a Patient Safety map; as ALPS had done for Communication, Teamworking and Ethical Practice.
The Collaborative Networks are below and anyone is invited to express an interest. It is anticipated that the work will be closely linked to an existing interest or work stream.
