Urgent Care have been running huddles focusing on discharging patients & maintaining flow and capturing improvement opportunities. Executives & senior teams have been conducting Go & See visits to hear about barriers and improvement ideas. #GreatImprovements #ImprovingTogether
We have been celebrating the Improving Together fast track training with our Academy teams this week. Great to see a huddle in action - thanks to everyone who came. @improving_GWH

Great day with teams on training this week. Improvement tools including looking at processes through paper chains. Our teams are launching improvement huddles in their areas - very exciting. @improving_GWH
Brilliant!

Easter weekend on call - the tea trolley made it outside for the first time on our way around some of our front door teams. Lots of treats distributed. Thank you to everyone working over the long weekend. @improving_GWH
Great to see a “huddle zone” for community teams. Establishing routines is helping us focus the improvement we can make. Great work in the ICC division. @improving_GWH @helenmee

If your child is unwell with respiratory symptoms and needs urgent care, there is a Children's Health Clinic available in Swindon at weekends.
The clinic will run on Saturdays, and is by appointment only. Please call NHS 111 who might direct you there.

Our urgent and emergency care services are currently very busy with many children attending with respiratory illnesses including Respiratory Syncytial Virus.
If your child has minor symptoms, please make sure you are using the right health care service for their needs.
What a fantastic Improving Together week. We’ve celebrated cohort 4 and talked with lots of staff about making improvements in their areas. I’m grateful to have an amazing team who’ve given loads of energy this week.

Being a good thinker is an important trait for leaders of change. It helps us understand our world, make better decisions and tackle complex problems. Being intellectually humble matters (without acknowledging the possibility that our current beliefs may be mistaken, we can’t learn anything new). AND good thinking is also about:
1) Being sufficiently motivated to figure out what’s true.
2) Focusing on the pertinent information and carefully seeking it out.
3) Being open-minded about information we may disagree with.
4) Confronting information or questions that are novel/different from what we generally engage with.
5) Being willing to put in the effort to figure it all out.
