A ·oumey of continuous improvement

Our organisations are part of a five year partnership with the Virginia Mason Institute and NHS Improvement to support us in continuously improving the quality and safety of the care our patients receive today and in the future.

We are keen to share our progress and experiences with stakeholders, system partners and colleagues as we go through this journey as part of our commitment to supporting wider learning on improvement across the NHS.

We hope this first newsletter provides a good introduction to the work we are involved in and some early reflections on the journey so far. We would welcome feedback.
