The more I work within the area, the more useful, fun and crucial I see that co-design is. Great to chat with @louiselyons_ at #Quality2024 about her work in this field too. @QualityForum @SQSFellowship @RHCGlasgow @EHDCongress @designcouncil @NHS_Education @UNN_HF.

It was a fabulous to share Glasgow Childrens hospital’s story of using design to improve our children’s operating theatres at the @QualityForum this afternoon. There was a great energy in the room. Change is possible. @QualityForum @RHCGlasgow @SQSFellowship
@alysonwalkerRHC opens up posing the question, ‘are clinical care and user experience separate things? Do we consider what it is like for our users to use our service?’ . They’ll be sharing insights from Glasgow and how design thinking helped make a difference #Quality2024

Reflecting on change with @HelenBevan @ #Quality2024. When we started our theatre improvements, we asked whether the journey was necessary. Design methods helped us realise it was, we built a team & now we are flying the flag that positive change is possible. @QualityForum
