  4. Agreeing ground rules Expectations for communication Listen with respect for and interest in diverse opinions Speak respectfully and without judgement to one another Disagree, but not disagreeably “The only silly questions are the ones not asked”

  5. What you can expect of us To make sure everyone gets a chance to speak To review the key points made in discussions to make sure we have understood each other correctly To follow-up any areas of uncertainty if we can’t cover them today To write a summary of the days proceedings If you are not happy with anything, please let Caroline, Jen, Lesley, Sally, Aastha, or Ankita know

  6. Overview of SHAIPI SHAIPI: Scottish Healthcare Associated Infection Prevention Institute S= Scottish • University of Glasgow, Dundee University, Edinburgh University, Glasgow Caledonian University, St Andrews University, and Strathclyde University • Funded by the Scottish Government 5 years from April 2016 • Working in collaboration with other Scottish partners (e.g. NHS, Infection Prevention Society)

  7. SHAIPI HAI= Healthcare associated infection This is an infection that people might catch when they are getting healthcare in any setting such as hospitals, care homes, doctors’ surgeries, health centres and at home if they are being cared for there.

  8. SHAIPI How many people get a HAI? Scotland 1in 20 patients in hospitals. What are the common infections in acute hospitals? • Urinary system (22.6% of all HAI) • Following surgery (18.6%) • Pneumonia (17.5%) • Blood stream (10.8%) HPS Scottish National Prevalence Point Survey of Healthcare Associated Infection and Antimicrobial Prescribing 2011 http://www.hps.scot.nhs.uk/haiic/sshaip/resourcedetail.aspx?id=732

  9. SHAIPI How does Scotland compare to the rest of Europe? • One in 18 patients in an European hospital has a HAI ECDC Point prevalence survey of healthcare-associated infections and antimicrobial use in European acute care hospitals 2011–2012 http://ecdc.europa.eu/en/publications/Publications/healthcare-associated-infections-antimicrobial-use-PPS.pdf

  10. SHAIPI The effect of having a HAI? • Most of the time these infections are treated and have no long-lasting effects • In fact some time we have these bacteria in our bodies and they do no harm • But for some people whose bodies are unable to respond to the infection it can be devastating • If we could prevent these infection it would save people suffering, save the NHS money & we would use fewer antibiotics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5x1f3_NJX8

  11. SHAIPI Consortium P= Prevention • The aim of SHAIPI is to brings together scientists, statisticians, researchers and the public to help the NHS to improve their infection prevention and control practices and reduce healthcare associated infections I = Institute • A virtual organization led by the University of Glasgow and with three main programme of work

  12. SHAIPI The 3 programmes of work • Understanding and managing HAI through studying the bacteria that cause HAI using innovative laboratory techniques – led by the Universities of Glasgow and St. Andrew’s • Using data and computer systems to answer questions, solve problems and make decisions about the management of HAI – led by Strathclyde University and University of Dundee • Improving HAI prevention practices by developing evidence of their effectiveness and promoting the implementation of these practices by healthcare staff, patients and the public – led by Glasgow Caledonian University

  13. Small group discussions An opportunity to ask questions about the previous presentation Expected outcomes • You have an understanding of the type of research being conducted • You have an understanding of how the research is funded • You understand what is meant by ‘healthcare associated infection’

  14. Public involvement in research • Research that is “carried out ‘with’ or ‘by’ members of the public rather than ‘to’, ‘about’ or ‘for’ them” • When members of the public are actively involved in the research process • NOT participation, where the public are recruited to and take part in a research study by providing information to answer a research question

  15. What are the benefits of public involvement? Researcher perspective Potential to improve research in terms of its: • Relevance • Quality • Impact

  16. ChaiN for SHAIPI Community Network forthe Scottish Healthcare Associated Infection Prevention Institute A new small group of non-experts (Community Advisors) interested in helping to shape research that aims to reduce the number of infections that patients develop as a result of receiving healthcare

  17. What will Community Advisors do? Main role To act as a ‘critical friend’ to our researchers and provide a public viewpoint on our research activities There will be lots of varied and interesting opportunities available • We will aim to be inclusive regarding how Community Advisors are involved * Some activities will be done by Community Advisors in their own home * Other activities will require interaction with either a research team or other Community Advisors (in person, teleconference, Skype etc.) * We can circulate documents by email or print and post them • The amount of time that Community Advisors are involved is flexible, meaning involvement can be managed around other commitments. * Opportunities to be involved in ‘ad hoc’ tasks or through a project’s lifecycle

  18. How will Community Advisors find out about opportunities to be involved? • We will circulate details of all opportunities to be involved in our research to every Community Advisor • We will ask for Community Advisors to volunteer to get involved – first come, first serve basis • Community Advisors will then be able to decide how often, when, and how they become involved

  19. What can we offer Community Advisors? (1) • Opportunities to be involved with an enthusiastic group of researchers who make a difference to healthcare • Support in preparation for research activities • An inclusive and responsive environment in line with the University’s Dignity at Work and Study Policy and commitment to equality and diversity www.gcu.ac.uk/equality • Learning and development group sessions (2 half days per year) focusing on getting to know each other, developing working practices, and increasing awareness of our research

  20. What can we offer Community Advisors? (2) • Reimbursement of reasonable public transport costs incurred for ChaiN for SHAIPI activities • Going forward after today if you wish to be a Community Advisor, for those who wish to receive it, the offer of financial reimbursement for time spent on ChaiN for SHAIPI activities * Offering reimbursement for time is consistent with the principles of public involvement as set out by the National Institute of Health Research * It is also in line with Glasgow Caledonian University policy

  21. Reimbursement for time – examples We will always ensure that Community Advisors are fully informed of exactly what they have been asked to be involved in and the reimbursement available

  22. Small group discussions An opportunity to ask questions about the previous presentation Expected outcomes • You have an understanding of what the role of Community Advisor will involve in terms of: * the tasks that may be performed * how the work will be organised

  23. Small group discussions An opportunity to explore individuals’ potential contribution to ChaiN for SHAIPI Expected outcomes • You will have met some of the SHAIPI research team and other potential Community Advisors • You will have begun to think about if you want to be a Community Advisor - what you could bring to and get from the group • You will have begun to identify the type of tasks you may be interested in

  24. Summing up Evaluation: Have we achieved our expected outcomes? Next steps • Take some time to reflect on the day and whether you think the role is appropriate for you just now • Let Jen know if you would like to be a Community Advisor by Monday 6th March 2017 Email: jennifer.macdonald2@gcu.ac.uk Phone: 0141 331 8275 However, if you have any questions about becoming a Community Advisor, please email l.price@gcu.ac.uk (Jen on annual leave 27.02.17 to 03.03.17)
