Whilst it is important to learn from events where things have not gone well, the majority of healthcare interactions go safely. Despite this, we have focus the much of our learning about safety from adverse events, where by definition, safety has been lacking.

‘Learning from Excellence’ is an innovation that focuses on capturing and learning from episodes of excellence in healthcare in an attempt to further improve the quality and safety of care that we provide. It also provides an opportunity to thank and recognise staff for excellence, which may improve resilience, culture and morale. This group will offer the opportunity to share ideas, experience, support, innovations and learning from what has gone well and what has been challenging!
