UPSCALING SCAN4SAFETY
8 GEOGRAPHICAL DISPERSION In England, the areas around Liverpool, Manchester and London are densely populated. Currently, the six demonstrator trusts in Derby, Leeds, North tees and Hartlepool, Plymouth, Cornwall and Salisbury, are not close to these dense areas where a lot of NHS trusts are located. A logical geographical dispersion can help to implement Scan4Safety efficiently in more hospitals, because the ambassadors from the demonstrator trusts are less likely to move farther in the country. Though the ambassadors are an important stakeholder in successful and efficient implementation.

Therefore, in the current evaluation process, as developed by Scan4Safety, the geographical location should be taken into account when selecting the potential trusts for WAVE 1. The role of ambassadors and other stakeholders will be explained in the next slides when the upscaling strategy is explained.

ARRANGEMENT OF TRUSTS IN WAVES All trusts should get an equal support for the implementation of the Scan4Safety strategy. Rules should apply in case trusts subscribe multiple times or want to share the 2 million support. First of all, the available budget for the next round should not be awarded to trust which already received financial support, to ensure all trust get the opportunity to use the support as initial investment. Through, another type of support can be provided to the trusts in the implementation process. Furthermore, the size of the NHS trusts varies, therefore the 2 million support for every trust might not lead to the same results. Evaluation criteria about the size and current level of maturity regarding Scan4Safety practices are important factor in the evaluation criteria for the trusts.
Joint trusts‘ applications of new trusts are allowed, if there is a valid reason to collaborate in the implementation process. We assume there are NHS trust which already collaborate in various ways and Scan4Safety collaboration can lead to efficiency gains. On a local level they can learn quickly from each other and create buy-in at the surrounding stakeholders (if the trust are closely located to each other).
