Outliving the NPP
Sustainability of our projects is at the core of our project
How will your products and services outlive the NPP funding? Services are to be part of ‘every day practice’Equipment has been bought and not hired or borrowedQuote from Speech Therapist in Scotland “
we now view VC as a routinely used tool/option to deliver our service”
How did you plan this with your partners?
A transnational sub-group was set up for each demonstrator project. Transnational knowledge exchange – relationships which will continue beyond the life of the project
When did you start implementing a sustainability?
THE START
- Each ‘business case’ looked into sustainability of the demonstrator project
before
it was implementedSlide7
Outliving the NPP
What were the main points of your sustainability plan that led to your success?
Creating business cases and having them evaluated by a transnational group of experts (ITAS)Results are being collated from all partner countries for evaluation and dissemination throughout project partnership area and beyondEvaluation of the services will provide evidence to inform Policy Makers and to sustain and grow the service
What are the good practices and lessons learnt that will help other projects to become successful?
Don’t underestimate the planning involved. Implementing a new service requires winning the hearts and minds of, in our case, the health service as well as overcoming IT issues and organisational issues.Slide8
