Happy #InternationalNursesDay to all our incredible nurses at #TeamSWASFT and across the NHS 💚
Today, we’re celebrating the more than 100 nurses who make a difference every day in our ambulance service.
Hear from our Deputy Director of Nursing and Quality, Lisa Vogwill 📽️👇
On International Nurses Day #IND2026, thank you to all the colleagues who make up our nursing profession. Your skill, commitment and compassion make a profound difference to people’s lives every single day. #teamCNO
Three modes of organising for improvement:
(1) Doing things well
(2) Doing things better
(3) Doing better things
An organisational improvement strategy should focus on all three. Many organisations currently are overfocussed on (1) & (2) and under focussed on (3). This is risky because we can end up focused on improving the "wrong" or suboptimal things. The environment of change that we find ourselves in means that we have to focus increasingly on (3). It won't happen unless we build in the time & space for connection, collaboration, experimentation & learning into daily work.
I adapted this table from content in "Improving quality in healthcare: questioning the work for effective change" by Murray Anderson-Wallace & Nick Downham. I really like this book, written by highly experienced practitioners: https://t.co/HfBU4n5U85.
Today on #InternationalNursesDay we are celebrating over 100 nurses who are a part of #TeamSWASFT. 💚
We're going to start the celebrations with a message from Executive Director of Quality Patient Care, Jane Chandler and Deputy Director of Nursing and Quality, Lisa Vogwill📽️
Happy international nurses day to all the brilliant @swasFT nurses and all of those I have had the privilege of working with during my career #InternationalNursesDay2025
