Today's #TeaOnTrains is a lunch time trip to Wrexham so I've swapped the tea for a mac n cheese mug shot. Amused the lovely catering lady who insisted I have a napkin from the trolley! She suggested all I was missing was a doilie. Feel I might need to crochet one and up my #TeaOnTrains game 🤣

#TeaOnTrains and your girl off is off to Wrexham for an Improvement Basics session this afternoon. Currently remembering that the joy of squeezing yourself into a pair of jeans that dont quite fit ends when you sit down and everything gets tighter 🤣 #BreathIn

Today's #TeaOnTrains I'm off to Wrexham to meet one of our Improvement in Action graduates and soon to be Improvement Advisor learners, to mentor her in providing Improvement coaching to a team in her division. Looking forward to seeing her and meeting the project team today! #QISky

Fab Capability & Capability meeting with the team yesterday reviewing Q1-2 progress, looking ahead to Q3 and starting to plan a workshop session to explore some of our challenges more deeply. Today it's #TeaOnTrains again as I head to Bangor for Cohort 4 Day 3 Practitioner training! #QISky

Q4. Finding the community that offers connection, support, sharing, and celebration. We need to celebrate together, and also be brave in our resilience (think perseverance and finding solutions!) #QISky #AHPQI

"Whatever 'Quick Wins' within reach shouldn't be a reason to lose sight of our ingrained values" - That's what I remind my teams every assignment. #QISky ##QIWeek2025 #AHPQI

The model for large scale change - the framing and reframing loop is helpful, I think. See page 20 here #QISky www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploa…

Q3: values-based as a strategy or approach or a personal characteristic? Prob needing all of the above to be an authentic leader without being consumed by the politics and power dynamics and still achieve meaningful outcomes not just ‘KPIs’ #QIsky

Finding the double win 🏆. Expectations and clarity are key features in engagement strategies....although I was think #QI comes into its own when we gave a problem with no known solution. #PDSA to success! #QISky #AHPQI

That’s super hard and difficult. I suppose it’s a bit of best guess which priority to go after and try to take a few steps forward on that….. and be realistic and honest that we can fix everything immediately! #qisky

Q3. Big question but important. Good ideas sometimes don't recieve support, and working across systems can be a challenging field to navigate. Authenticity and purpose are helpful, showing integrity and inclusivity of all voices. #QISky #AHPQI
