Overall key learning was
Teamwork – the benefits
of working with a
team/group and
the visual impact of
keeping data’
Key learning was the
importance of
working together,
good collaboration

Comments
If managers support
QI initiatives, teams can
achieve great results.
It’s all about teamwork
and communication with
a smile. Great team
building experience
My only advice or request
is if you could organise
the kind of learning sessions
often, that would be a great
help and encouragement.

Can we move from “teaching hospitals” to “learning

Where learning together about how we can improve
quality and safety is at the heart of what we do
