Recent Collaborations Our work with the East Midlands Patient Safety Collaborative (PSC) – CHILL is working with the EM PSC on a number of exciting and innovation projects, including a ‘researcher -in- residence’ scheme to evidence and spread regional innovations in patient safety. Together CHILL and the PSC are working on a national programme of work with NHS England to promote effective communication at hospital discharge. The PSC’s Lead, Dr Cheryl Crocker, is Honorary Associate Professor with the Business School, and provides expert guidance and advice on its patient safety work. Our work with Boots and Nottingham Forest F.C. – We evaluated the design and implementation of a sport and nutrition holiday programme for 5 to 11 year olds and their families, living in and around Nottingham. We used a formative approach to evaluate the programme before, during and after its delivery, capturing the different phases of implementation to help guide the design and delivery as the programme developed.
