Transformation is about not only understanding where you are right now, but also knowing where you want to get to, and how best to do it.

Long wait times for therapeutic interventions can be detrimental & disheartening for service users & staff The Occupational Therapy team at Bedford CMHT have achieved a 4 week reduction in wait times for 1-to-1 appointments since their #QI project started bit.ly/360dqVn

Patients save approx. £30 by having a virtual appointment, due to travel, parking and time off work. From Apr-Jun 2021 we delivered 78,500 virtual appointments, saving our patients over £2.35 million! How can we sustain this in a clinically appropriate way? 💙 NUH Patient Partnership Group (PPG) 💙

Thanks to the vast majority of the public who are helping us to support the most vulnerable in hospital by adhering to this guidance - making it safer for visitors, all patients and our staff.

Things people aren't afraid to say when they have psychological safety: -I don't know -I made a mistake -I disagree -I might be wrong -I have a concern -I have an idea

Meet Jason #NationalCancerCNSDay. "I've been the brain and CNS nurse specialist for Dorset for the past 14 years. I enjoy the role because the patients have an amazing attitude towards their illness and keep so positive in difficult situations."
