Looking for experts by experience to consult on materials (interview themes/questions) for my #DClinPsy #thesis.
It will be a qualitative study (similar to this study that @krichar25 and I conducted) looking at prioritisation of waiting lists in eating disorder services.

[Rachel @OpenMindMH]

As Freshers start packing for the move to uni @FREEDfromED have got some great advice on how to look after yourself if you are starting university with an ED or in recovery:

My top tip would be to plan ahead and eat before you start drinking!

High levels of ‘social capital’ (the value gained when people work well together) create the conditions for high performance in health & care. The evaluation of 5 NHS organisations that undertook whole system transformation showed that social capital is more important than human capital (the skills, knowledge & experience people possess) when it comes to improving performance. Now, research newly published in @HarvardBiz concludes that social capital is at least, or more important, than human capital OR financial capital for high performance in healthcare organisations.
If we want to improve performance & productivity, we need to get serious about:
- understanding social capital (relational co-ordination & social network analysis)
- providing the time, space, focus & leadership support for relationships & connections
- building it into our improvement routines & nurturing & measuring its growth as a key component of our performance strategy.

@Karina_Maudsley @Anna_Carnegie Thanks! There were many minds involved in crafting that diagram, including our wonderful comms/design colleagues 🙂

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you want to chat about any of it!

Quality improvement training can empower staff to drive meaningful change, but the route from QI training to impact can be a windy road.

We created a diagram that clearly maps out some key ingredients needed to drive impact with #QI training.
