There can be a lot of confusion around Quality Improvement, today’s posts focus on answering some of the myths we’ve heard about QI. #QIWeek2024 @boltonnhsft

Know your numbers week - come down to Oasis on Thursday 10-12pm or Occ Health Friday 9-12pm & 1-3pm.

3/3 Now I’m in a different kind of role, leading staff health and wellbeing in a big NHS Trust. I still use so much of my experience and skills everyday. There is a whole world out there for Dietitians to explore. Be bold, be brave and enjoy it 🤩 #DW2024

2/3 From first jobs in Cornwall, East Sussex community, a stint in industry, bariatrics in Oxford, HANC & ITU in Coventry, operational lead in Birmingham, then Head of Dietetics and SLT in Coventry… I’ve learned so much and met many incredibly inspiring Dietitians along the way!

This is Dietitian’s Week, theme ‘from classroom to clinic and beyond’ I’m really proud to be a Dietitian and I’ve had an incredible ‘squiggly’ career to date that has been so enjoyable and exciting.

Another busy month for @PHUOD team leading culture transformation at PHU. Thank you to all of the team for your great work. #CultureforImprovement #CultureChange #Amazing @RickSomal
