We hope that this toolkit has given you the inspiration to work with patients to improve your health service, as well as the necessary practical guidance to run a successful project.
There is a range of other resources available that could help you set up and run a successful project using experience-based co-design. See our further EBCD resources (51 kb) ![[pdf]](http://www.kingsfund.org.uk/display_images/document_icons/pdf.gif){kind=icon}

Am very interested in improving patient experience particularly during inpatient stay. Am particularly keen to identify and improve simple problems (organisational and anaesthetia related) which might enhance our patients stay.
