Congratulations to North East Locality colleagues

A huge congratulations to the North East Locality team for successfully completing the Scottish Improvement Foundation Skills (SIFS) training. This is a fantastic achievement so well done to:

• Sarah Chalmers, Clinical Nurse Manager, Edinburgh District Nursing

• Steph Craig, North East Hub Manager

• Sandy Johal, GP Milton Surgery and Quality Cluster Lead

• Yusuf Ali Lalloo, GP Victoria Practice and Quality Cluster Lead

• Wendy Michael, Business Manager, North East Locality

The course started in February this year where everyone took part in a quality improvement project within their area to support their learning. They all graduated with flying colours and celebrated this at their graduation session at the Edinburgh Training and Conference Centre. Everyone took the time to present their project progress and were presented with their SIFS certificate of completion from Angela Lindsay, north east locality manager. You can follow QI Hub on twitter.

There's still time to sign up to the next training session - apply by 16 September

The quality team is offering training for all colleagues across the Partnership who are interested in learning more about making changes and improvements using quality improvement (QI) methodology.

QI is an evidence-based approach to identify areas for improvement, test change and implement sustainable improvements. This is the training for you if you or your team are interested in improving the way you work for your colleagues and the people you care for. Email  EHSCP.QIHub@nhslothian.scot.nhs.uk for further information.

We are currently running an ongoing programme of the Scottish Improvement Foundation Skills Programme for staff in the Edinburgh Partnership and will soon be launching, Cohort 3 in October 2022.
