We showcased innovation in our hospitals for a fabulous visit!
Roy Lilley, policy analyst, commentator and founder of the Academy of Fabulous NHS Stuff, with Dr Terri Porrett co- founder and director of the Fab Academy, met with colleagues yesterday at the Royal Victoria Infirmary to hear about innovation in our services.
Our staff care for patients every day and are best placed to come up with new ideas, whether it’s a new product; a new way or running a service; or a new model of care to support patients.
Innovation may be a ‘big bang’ idea, but it is equally as likely to be something incremental or local, which improves things for patients or colleagues.
Our innovation team Charlotte Fox and Michelle Waugh held a marketplace event to showcase some of the innovations andquality improvement work happening across our organisation including:
➡️OTI programme
➡️Know your Floors
➡️Bobby’s Big Day Out
➡️KidzMed
➡️Q Factor Awards
The IBD and Me brochure was also showcased, created by Jen Rose, patient entrepreneur.
