Elf has decided that next time he is providing 1:1 or enhanced supervision he is going to make it more meaningful, by engaging patients in conversations, giving them a pamper, doing activities or playing a game with them. #BeMoreElf!

Work with those involved in your improvement. Don’t try to write your aim in a sentence straight away. Start by making notes answering each part of SMART. These questions can help. Remember not to include solutions in your aim, describe what will be different as a result.

Elf has been speaking to the deliver expert (Santa!), he advises that wherever possible use the pneumatic tube (pod) system to deliver samples to the lab! This avoids unnecessary delays in processing. If you need to deliver by hand, please ensure you know where you are going!🎁
