#ProjectA – latest progress and videos released ahead of Innovation Burst!


#ProjectA (for Ambulance) is a twelve month project to mobilise frontline ambulance staff and patients to identify and implement ideas that will contribute to improvements in urgent and emergency services.

The project seeks to identify at least four major change ideas that can be developed, prototyped and implemented by frontline staff across all ten ambulance trusts, in time to start making a difference in winter 2018/19.

In numbers – a quick #ProjectA recap

Since the kick-off event in June there’s been over 31,000 #Project A interactions – many of them thanks to five well attended tweetchats run by NHS Horizons.  By the end of August an incredible 608 ideas were submitted by frontline staff and other stakeholders to the Ideas Platform.

The Project A lead group then reviewed and prioritised 89 ideas and of these, 12 have been identified to be tested at the Innovation Bursts on 26 and 27 September.

Here, we share four short films that give a flavour of the final 12 ideas.
