The BENEFITS

How Good ARE We At....?

• credibility of identified practice strengths and weaknesses is guaranteed because team members have done it themselves - anonymously

WHO Should Attend

any members of the team, in any mix, ideally a minimum of 6 up to 10

HOW the Module Works

• using the 12 questions as a visual aid, the principles of the topic (teamwork, customer care, or helping patients to buy) are explained and discussed

An Example 2 hour Agenda

for 6 delegates from a practice where the full team of 15 completed

"How Good Are We At TEAMWORK?" questionnaires

• issue of original (uncompleted) questionnaires for discussion on the principles of teamwork - Share, Care, Communicate!

a choice of 3 subjects  -   Teamwork/Communications  -  Customer Care  -  HELPING Patients to Buy

• in two teams of 3, each with a different brief; egs: "study the results to form conclusions on how the practice could improve its communications" or simply, "comment on what you agree are the 3 most relevant results

• team members can open-mindedly discuss causes and optional actions without ever being personal

• open forum on conclusions to agree recommended Action Plans to improve and how this exercise could be followed up

• issue of the summary sheet of all 15 questionnaires completed by the practice team; explanation of the columns for understanding

The principle is that ideally ALL team members at all levels (not just those attending a workshop) individually and in confidence (anonymity guaranteed) complete a simple (about 10 minutes) questionnaire (scoring each of 12 questions 1 to 5) We collect forms and present the results on the Module. Team members then work in teams to draw conclusions and agree Action Plans to improve - with no-one ever knowing what anyone scored for any question!

• the results can be used in a variety of ways by management eg repeat the exercise in 3 months to measure progress/changes

• if the formula works for the practice on one subject, it could follow up with others.

• delegates are then issued with the results of the questionnaire and, in teams of 3 or 4, discuss them in various ways to produce Action Plans

• as time allows, this process is repeated with different teams and briefs
