    Q Exchange Project Update

    This has been a month of mixed emotions for the Project Team.
    It has been exciting revisiting interviews and seeing some of the Case Studies and Short Case Studies come to life. Our Graphic Designer, Bron Somerset, has worked hard with us to create a style that is user friendly and showcases the stories being told. We are working hard with organisations to get the remainder signed off and ready to share, knowing the pressures they are under to deliver services.
    We have shared our first Case Study on our website, something which involved learning new skills for some of us! You can have a look at it here: http://www.communityhospitals.org.uk/quality-improvement/case-studies.html
    We are busy scheduling the rest, making sure organisations know when this will be happening and have a copy of the graphically designed work. We have had some lovely feedback from organisations who have received their final versions, including:
    “The case studies are such a celebration of the work as a whole, they are a wonderful reminder of the importance of community hospitals and the role they played at this epic moment in time.”
    We got some great feedback from QExchange when we submitted our final report. We feel very privileged and humbled to have been supported to do this work. The joy at delivering the outcomes is tinged with a little sadness that the project will be coming to an end over the coming months.
    Members of the Project Team have been busy preparing a poster and presentation for the IFIC conference in Denmark next month. How exciting to see us on the programme for Day 2: https://abbey.eventsair.com/AbbeyEventApp/icic22/programme/Agenda
    We have also been busy drafting an article for submission to BMJ Open Quality. More new skills gained for some of the team.
    Our full report is underway. The learning we have collected on our Lessons Learned Log and Risk Register have been invaluable in this process.
    Time to get everything done remains a challenge but seeing the outcomes of the project emerge is bringing excitement, joy, pride and a sense of “we did this!”
