About Collaborate
Tpas is delighted to launch our Collaborate, a series of research programmes.
Each programme will be an opportunity for you to partner with peers, Tpas and sector leaders to create solutions together that will inform and develop resident influence across a number of current sector issues.
Each joining organisation will have up to four places at each workshop, creating space for colleagues to participate at a detailed level, or for a variety of colleagues to attend different sessions.
Through a series of one-day in-person workshops, you will work through issues you and your organisation is facing in ensuring that residents experiences are noticed and acted on in relation to a key challenge facing the sector.
Tpas is running a consecutive series of programmes that include:
- Understanding the context, background and expectations to effective resident influence in the issue being explored
- A safe environment for organisations to learn and develop ideas in a collaborative way and to create solutions
- A tangible action plan based on evidence to be able to deliver improvements
After each programme a report will be published that features organisations that have collaborated together and provide solutions to real time challenges.
