QI! A grassroots improvement movement. Midwifery, mindfulness, crochet and cockapoos. All my own views

[OUH Maternity @TeamOUHMat]

The Mindful birth classes focus on Mindfulness meditation skills linked to antenatal education; attending other birth-specific preparation classes may also be helpful. #maternity #mindfulbirth @OUHospitals

@sean9n Interesting thread, thank you! @jenni_guest1 @BunyanJoanne - sharing in case any of this is helpful for step 1 in our new workstream.

[Annie Williams (she/they) @AnnieMBWilliams]

What an inspiring idea for a shared improvement event! It would be great to see lots more of these across many different services. @jenni_guest1 @hesham_abdalla @BunyanJoanne @RuthMackers #QITwitter

Learn 💡from #leaders working across geographies to build common frameworks for #improvement that align priorities & grow capability. What does it take to generate improvement at a wider scale – across boundaries, people & places? @j59dd @AilsaBrotherton @KathrynPerera #QI @NHS

Meet Cara, one of the lovely chaplains at the Churchill Hospital & Cancer Centre @OUHospitals

Watch as she tells us about a project that we’ve been working on together, to create beautiful wedding day boxes for patients getting married in hospital.

So special 💕

Today’s doodle: The differences between “judgement” and “appreciation” approaches

A “judgement inquiry” approach can lead to demoralised, unmotivated, frustrated staff who will underperform for many reasons (burnout, stress & disempowerment)

Building an 'improvement infrastructure' is critical for a sustainable culture of improvement, but its components are relevant to everyone in healthcare. Learn more in the latest article by @DrNicolaBurgess: https://t.co/yFDv7JymmG #LeadingQI Sketchnote: @tnvora

@CuriousBecks @tom_geraghty Oo, looks good. Thanks for the recommendation Becks - I’ve signed up.

Measurement matters… this online course provides learning on the key different types of measures, & most crucially how you can readily apply them to your own improvement projects. Enrol: https://t.co/QyYr9CziX9 Not registered? Register here https://t.co/yoEgqb9klq then enrol.

@trishgreenhalgh Sustainability model is also really useful. We often make changes that don’t ‘stick’ even when they seem to be great. Using the model at key points can alert you to what you might be forgetting before you’re sat around afterwards wondering why.

[Annie Williams (she/they) @AnnieMBWilliams]

@trishgreenhalgh 3. What changes can we make that will result in improvement? (Creativity, thinking hats, driver diagrams, fishbone analysis, mapping). 4. Then PDSA (small iterative tests of change, psychological safety, keep measuring and adapt/adopt/abandon as appropriate).
