Knowledge Exchange Projects
What is Knowledge Exchange?
Knowledge Exchange is the process of sharing information through non-hierarchical means. Our work encourages two way sharing between experts and non-experts alike with a non-hierarchical ethos that respects the lived experiences of those who are attending our projects, and sees all attendees as experts in their own right. As part of the Highland Hospice, we also aim to foster work between local organisations and use our projects to develop a wider understanding of Highland healthcare systems and how issues in these systems can be addressed.
What projects do we support?
Knowledge Exchange team supports Project ECHO and Last Aid primarily. We are currently working on expanding the range of projects that we deliver through the revival of Living Well and the development of the Highland Rural Communities of Practice Network.
We also support the delivery of the two palliative care conferences from Highland Hospice, these are two annual conferences that aim to develop attendees palliative care knowledge with each one catering to a different target audience.
Please follow the individual tabs above to find more details about each project we support.
Highland Hospice conferences
Thank you to everyone who attended our recent Palliative Social Care Conference in March. We were thrilled to see some of strongest attendance numbers that we have had for this conference and we appreciated all the great contributions from our speakers and attendees.
We will be running the Palliative Social Care Conference again in 2027, with our clinical learning focussed learning days taking place later this year. We will be sending out further updates for both events soon. You can read more about the conferences here.
