Hello Qs in Greater Manchester & Eastern Cheshire! I’m Maria, new Community Convener for Q.

Firstly, I wanted to flag that the latest Q Lab UK project is looking for test teams (and other participants). Teams will receive upfront funding to develop and test interventions addressing the topic: how we create collective responsibility to reduce waits in elective pathways.

Do you know teams in the GMEC region who’d be up for this? Or are you?

Applications close on 14 June so do follow up as soon as possible if you are interested. All the information you need can be found here in the info pack.

Secondly, I’m keen to learn about members’ experience being part of Q and ideas for what we should do more/less of – especially what could be done to create more of a Q community at local level. If you’re up for a short Zoom chat – do reach out!
