I'm engaging in outstanding discussions with leaders of change in health & care from across the globe at #Quality2024. A big theme is how relationships & relatedness are increasingly becoming the primary focus of change methodologies. Read this blog from @NENC_NHS on how a theory of change was co-created with its learning & improvement community, based on building relationships for change across a big system: boost.org.uk/building-a-the…. Thank you @annielaverty & @SHamiltonCPFT for your leadership. PS: follow the International Forum on Quality & Safety in Healthcare at #Quality2024.

I'm at #Quality2024 live, listening to @AmyCEdmondson talking about principles from her book “The Right Kind of Wrong – The Science of Failing Well”. Amy differentiates three kinds of failures in organisations: 1) Basic failures: caused by carelessness or ignorance 2) Complex failures: caused by a combination of multiple systemic factors, none of which would have caused failure on its own 3) Intelligent failures (the most productive kind): where organisations/teams test new ideas, at small scale to learn & develop.

Impostor phenomenon (IP) can fuel stress & burnout, plaguing individuals with self-doubt & fear of being exposed as 'frauds.' Find out about IP amongst the healthcare simulation community. ijohs.com/article/doi/10… #ImpostorPhenomenon #impostorsyndrome

@SCLF_ @DrGregorSmith @GPax1 @Carolineslamb @JohnHardenED @jasonleitch @MichelleObama @TheIHI @SCLF_ team thanks 4 the Q; short answer yes ! bit.ly/49htq4G The @TheIHI framework is a great place to start. A focus on staff engagement is key (although @AdamMGrant might debate that word) through compact creation bit.ly/3Mdw01u & fun 🤩Happy 2 help 📲

How do we best train clinicians to use High Consequence Infectious Diseases PPE 😷? We demonstrate that Mastery (SBML) can be an effective method of delivering simulation training. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #IDtwitter #IDXposts @IPIP_Open

@mathieulouiset @SQSFellowship @LothianLeader @JonAntrobus @NASA @NHS_Lothian @SusanSloan08 @RIE_Lothian @WghLothian @LothianSjh @REAS_NHSLothian @mathieulouiset are you based in a health setting?; if yes, send me a work email and I can try…the challenge of NHS digital infrastructure! ;-)

@Simongasman @SQSFellowship @LothianLeader @JonAntrobus @NASA @NHS_Lothian @SusanSloan08 @RIE_Lothian @WghLothian @LothianSjh @REAS_NHSLothian Is it available for people outside @NHS_Lothian ?

📣 Join us on MS Teams @LothianLeader event for Sept. @JonAntrobus will be sharing his experiences from @NASA 🚀 as part of his Fellowship @SQSFellowship. All @NHS_Lothian staff welcome. Your hosts will be Sara & @SusanSloan08 Bring 🥙

Today @WarwickBSchool & @HorizonsNHS are hosting the first of two roundtables with NHS leaders on "how we can define and demonstrate (financial) value from improvement activity in the NHS". In many NHS organisations, there's a gap between the indicators used to gauge value in operational delivery & the metrics of quality improvement. We hope this thinking can help fill that gap #LeadingQI

@LEGO_Group your attention to detail is impressive & appreciated by creatures big🧍‍♂️and small 🐝 #Orchid

Our next Leadership Network is one not to be missed! Come join us please on Aug22 at 1230! @hannahcairns7 @Simongasman @SusanSloan08 @janisbutlerHRD @dawnlehmann @amanda_langsley @ArthurCalum @mctavishaitken

@pritanand @RCoANews Thanks mate; the programme is the faculty & the faculty are in the main past programme participants…#pass_it_on

@Simongasman many congrats on the College medal. The excellent AaE program has been very rewarding for many of us who went through it during our trainee years. Best wishes. @RCoANews

One thing I've learnt over the years is that it's usually a good idea to have a plan for change. The plan gathers people and shows the way. But lasting change is inherently emergent so don’t expect the change to exactly match the plan. The plan needs to be just “good enough” at the start, allowing room for tensions, uncertainties, and learning. Graphic by @lizandmollie

@SamanthaQINES My husband and I …..😂😂 You both look cracking and delighted you had a great day. All love ❤️ and luck 🍀

On behalf of my husband and I, we’d like to send our heart felt thanks out to our family and friends for celebrating our special day with us. Here’s a teaser of what’s to come. Much love to all, best day of our lives 💚💜

Too often when we think about "organisational design", we rush into drawing new operating models & org charts. Yet there are multiple aspects we should think about first: the ideological, strategic and emotional components of redesign, not just the structural. Here's a brilliant resource list to help us think differently about org design from @EmRoseBaz: emrosebaz.medium.com/a-regenerative…. Graphic: @voinonen
