Aims:
- Create increased capability within the Health System to undertake redesign and service improvement activities

*Although we are aiming for 2 x face to face workshop delivery, we acknowledge we are in a period of uncertainty. Therefore, we will continue to review the COVID-19 situation and if necessary, adjust aspects of the program to accommodate virtual delivery. Please be assured we will communicate with all involved closer to the start dates of each program.
