What’s happening now? Appreciating Health and Care resources

We had a wonderfully rich and lively book launch for our new book, Appreciating Health and Care, on Zoom in April…

“What a fabulously successful book launch, well done all, thanks for a wonderful two hours,
the AI community rocks”
Jane x

Thanks to everyone who attended and contributed to the launch, and for the growing interest in both the printed version and the eBook.

A supplementaray e-book contains seven case studies and is only £5. It also references further useful books and resources, and a practical Appreciative Inquiry guide AI in a nutshell.

They’re all available to buy on our site shop, where you’ll also find many other Appreciating People resources. (We’re in the process of updating our bibliography of Appreciative Inquiry publications for further reading, and it’ll soon be available as a download.)

Future events

These links will also direct you to resources from the launch you can access, plus a range of events featuring the book, more of its great contributors and opportunities to hear from the authors. These offer a chance to share your own practice, to learn a bit more about the Appreciative Inquiry philosophy, mindset and where it is making a difference – in the workplace and personally.

We’re also delighted to share that one of the case study authors, Katy Fisher, who is a Senior Nurse Quality & Improvement at NHS Professionals (@KatyPrescott4) has just written two blogs:

• • • Appreciative Inquiry is one of the Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF) tools that can be used to learn from patient safety incidents. Katy Fisher shares how she designed and introduced an appreciative inquiry tool at her hospital. 

• • Katie explains how she became involved in Appreciative Inquiry and asks the question: what could Appreciative Governance start to look like in the NHS and what small steps can we all do to achieve that together?
