      Wonder whether this is something we should pursue as a pump primer to get this group moving in the fast lane?
      AHP’s in QI would benefit from connecting as a theme. Happy to do some donkey work on this as the window is a little tight…

        hi Helen, great idea – what are you thinking? I had some discussions last week with Ian Baines (also part of this group) who has shared some great learning from the ambulance group and how they got going and became a really connected group, now doing some great work together across the country. Something in here about forming relationships, making our connections, building our energy and purpose as we go…. If you’re willing to take a lead I’m sure there are many of us who would support you….and be grateful at the same time!

        Hi Helen – good to meet you ‘virtually’. Happy to provide some connections over to AmbulanceQ if that helps. Also happy to provide a little more insight into the discussion Caroline has described if that helps with a funding application for AHPQ pump priming. Just let me know.
        Ian

        This sounds like an excellent opportunity and a great way to galvanise AHPQI into 2020!
        Please do count me in on any collaboration opportunity.

      Hi all

      just catching up on the threads from this group. I’d be very interested to be involved in the development of a bid, if its still on the cards.

      I’m particularly interested in how we could develop the network so that we are able to work together across our areas on QI. I was looking at the resources that are being developed by Q and the Qconnector roles look interesting, is there any AHPs in those roles already? if not could we consider supporting AHPQconnectors in each of the regions to support the awareness of Q and the AHPs as Quality Improvers?

      I also really like the (now fairly old) work on networks that the Health Foundation undertook https://www.health.org.uk/publications/leading-networks-in-healthcare

      https://www.health.org.uk/publications/effective-networks-for-improvement

      Could these be used as a starter for 10?
