The programme has helped us at looking at things in a different way …and question ourselves on why we do something the way we do.

We have looked at many processes that we do and how by utilising technology/staff that we already have available what time can be saved for clinicians, staff and patients if we implement change.

I didnt even notice that I had stopped moaning about the work until one of the administration team pointed it out to me. The work we have done on reducing the outstanding Medical Reviews has really had an impact on my day.
