Case Study: Experience matters

                                                 The Journey to the Interface
We understand that improving public service isn’t just
about listening to service users, or asking them to sit on
committees. It’s about empowering people to improve the
services they use, and to act for themselves.

So we were delighted when the NHS Institute of Innovation
and Improvement asked us to put our convictions to the
test. The experiment took place at Luton and Dunstable
Hospital with users and staff at the Head and Neck Cancer
Service.
Over the course of twelve months, thinkpublic initiated
the UK’s first ever, co-produced, “experience-based
design” project in the NHS. Combining radical thinking
in commercial and social innovation with seasoned
techniques from the world of design, we put together
a methodology that would get the best results from
patients and staff. Then we stepped back and let
people do the improving for themselves.



                                                             Over the course
                                                            of twelve months,
                                                          thinkpublic initiated
thinkpublic needed everyone at the                         the UK’s first ever,
Head and Neck Cancer Service to be                             co-produced,
enthusiastic about experience-based                       “experience-based
design. We feared that past “patient                        design” project in
engagement” exercises could have left                            the NHS.
patients cynical about getting involved.
And we wanted to reassure staff that
the project would not simply be about
blame and finger-pointing. The team
branded the project in collaboration with
patients and staff, then created posters
and newspapers to enhance its presence
in the clinic. We gave staff and patients
tools to create photo and video journals
showing their personal experience of the
service. We ensured participation from
senior clinicians and ward nurses, and
reinforced the project’s ties within the
management structure of the hospital.
Next, thinkpublic filmed interviews with staff and
patients, asking them to tell their story. Frontline
staff initially feared the presence of cameras in
the hospital, but when they saw how positively the
patients reacted to being on camera, they relaxed.
We gathered over 30 hours of footage of patients
and staff telling their story, then edited this to create
a 30 minute film. The film was shown to groups of
patients and staff in two initial, separate meetings,
designed to lay the groundwork for the next, and
most important, stage in the process.



We brought staff and patients together, involving
them in activities designed to give them a deep
insight into each others’ experiences of the Head
and Neck Cancer Service, and the confidence to
work together. Using techniques developed in the
design and branding industries, we asked patients
to map, and then describe, emotional “touchpoints”
along their journey through the service. This helped
everybody to understand where priorities for
improving the experience lay and gave everyone
an opportunity to vote on priorities.



Staff and patients immediately felt ownership of
the priorities for improvement because they had
identified them themselves. They also felt confident
that they could work together. Away from their
everyday roles as carer and cared-for, they began
to see each other as equals, with a shared goal of
improving the Head and Neck Cancer Service, and
unique insights that would help them achieve that
goal. They organised themselves into working
groups, each tasked with taking on one of the
priorities. thinkpublic provided tools to help these
working groups function productively, but it was
here that we withdrew from direct involvement in
the process. That’s because we knew change had
been put into the hands of the experts.
What happened next
The project resulted in 43 separate
improvements to the Head and Neck Cancer
Service, improvements affecting efficiency,
patient safety, and the overall experience of
the service. All of the improvements were
low or zero-cost, despite the fact that no
budget limits had been set. Many of the
improvements have since been adopted by
other services at Luton and Dunstable.
Most importantly, the project fostered a new,
collaborative relationship between frontline
staff and patients, one focussed on the
individual human dignity of service users.
Staff felt remotivated to do their jobs well,
and patients felt empowered – some even
spoke of the project’s therapeutic effect.
This relationship stands in contrast to other
attempts to empower and involve patients
in a meaningful way.
