    Hi Everyone,

    Next Tuesday 19th October we have a really exciting session planned. It’s an opportunity to meet Ursula Montgomery from the Primary Care Team at NHS England. Ursula is a big believer in quality improvement and also has many admirable leadership traits, as well as a very interesting career journey. It’s an open session where you will…Read more

    • Unfortunately I could make this session in the end as our ANP was off sick so clinical workload was very high. Would love to hear more though.

    Thanks Elizabeth. That is perfectly fine, it’s good to be thinking about antimicrobial stewardship all year round – so might work well to have a follow-on event in the New Year! Do get in touch when you are recovered. Wishing you all the best.

    One final reminder: ‘Joy at work’ webinar on TODAY from 1-2pm. Register here: https://q.health.org.uk/event/how-quality-improvement-has-been-used-to-foster-joy-at-work/

    Thanks so much Joanna – so kind of you! Yes, I think making the link between joy at work and QI is so important. If you don’t have a team who feel able to bring their best selves to work, then it’s going to be almost impossible to make any meaningful improvements. Glad you were able to dedicate some time to think about this within your own practice.

    I’ve been giving a lot of thought to ‘joy at work’ following on from Virginia Patania’s session over the summer, and I’ve put some of my reflections in this article – ‘Building compassionate and joyful workplaces’. Shameless self promotion (sorry) – but I thought it might be a good bit of pre-reading prior to next Tuesday’s session, which ties…Read more

    A reminder of our lunchtime event on Tuesday 28th September from 1-2pm. We will hear from Kent Community Trust about how they have used QI to foster joy at work. There are tangible results in terms of recruitment and retention, and a knock-on effect in terms of overall productivity. Surely focusing on joy is what we all need to be doing to make…Read more

    • This is such a lovely piece Ramya – I always go straight to your column when my BMJ arrives. You have capyured this so clearly and the examples of the things that sap joy out of work are spot on. I can’t join on Tuesday unfortunately, but do agree this topic is the building blocks of good QI. Thank you for keeping it so high on the agenda. We…Read more

    From what I last heard, Q exchange should open in the early part of 2022. So it’s definitely a good time to start putting ideas out there and to look for collaborators. Good luck @thomasjohnrose. It sounds like a simple idea that has the potential to demonstrate the power of process mapping.

    Great @elizabethbeech – I’ll direct message you to try and set this up.
