Workshop: Develop new in-clinic care models for the future

A workshop focusing on developing new in-clinic care models for the future

The landscape of cochlear implants is continually changing. With growing awareness, changing criteria and improved access, referrals are already increasing significantly across the Nordics and will continue to do so over the coming years. With constraints on budgets and rising caseloads, the number of staff and clinical space cannot expand at the same pace.

How do you create a care pathway that is sustainable, cost-effective, and maintains the quality of care your patients expect? 

We would like you to join us for a 2-day interactive workshop where we will explore new ways of working from CI assessment through to surgery and onto after care. 

The aim is that you after this meeting will be able to further develop innovative care pathways within your clinic based on peer-reviewed evidence and best practices as well as new technology that benefits both your clinic and your patients.

Topic: Developing Sustainable and High-Quality Care Pathways for Cochlear Implants 

Key Highlights:

• Interactive Sessions with a small group of like-minded peers from across the Nordics and other countries. 

• Become aware of peer-reviewed evidence and share best practices to create new care pathways. 

• Take advantage of new technology that can benefit both your clinic and patients. 

• Discussion opportunities to address the current issues your clinic faces. 

An opportunity to create new future-ready care pathways with like-minded peers to address the specific needs of your clinic and formulate an implementation plan.

This exclusive hands-on workshop is designed for clinic managers, professionals, doctors, audiologists, and ENT specialists who recognise the need to update their care pathways and provide a more sustainable way of working without compromising on the quality of care. In order to ensure successful implementation of new ways of working after the workshop, it is required that each clinic is represented by at least two participants. The purpose for this is to enable effective collaboration and follow-through once back at your clinic.
