Appreciating Health

Project Type: book, ebook, words, narrative, design, print

Appreciating People is our oldest friend and longest standing client of 15+ years. Based in Scotland, we’re a clan of chaotic accents and Northern spirit, which we combined over the past 12 months to help edit and design its Appreciating Health and Care; A Practical Appreciative Inquiry Resource for the Health and Social Care Sector print and eBook.

Much of the work it does is within the NHS, and this health-based transformation project is based around the appreciative enquiry – as in, looking for the good in something. Instead of criticism and suggestions for areas of improvement, this text is focused on highlighting what is working well and what’s been successful, containing stories about good practices within organisations and why they work. This notion is something the NHS has since adopted, widely.

We project managed, edited and designed the book (the second in the series), coded two eBooks and have supported the AP team to structure, market and sell the finished product.
