Very well done Green Wart teams.

Hi Rachel, these are such great examples of SusQI in action. This is a particular interest of mine and I worked with Frances on a blog last year that covered some of what The Centre was doing in this area.

Hello Rachel, thank you for posting this. I enjoyed reading your blog.
Here’s a provocative question for you 🙂 It’s a no brainer that projects which reduce environmental impact at the same time as improving care processes or outcomes are a good thing — these are win-win situations and it is great that you have been able to identify such clear…Read more
(For context, I’m part of a group thinking about the philosophy and ethics of healthcare improvement. We are interested in highlighting and unpacking some of the value tensions that arise in healthcare improvement. And it strikes me that sustainable healthcare is an area where really important (and urgent) questions arise about the relative…Read more
