The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SaTH) held its first Transforming Care Open Day on Friday (March 9).
Pictured, from left, Olivia Evans, Lisa Burgess-Collins, Naomi Penrose (all of RJAH), Deirdre Fowler (Director of Nursing, Midwifery and Quality at SaTH), Dr Jacquenline McKenna MBE (Director of Nursing Leadership at NHS Improvement) and Cathy Smith (KPO Lead at SaTH).
Through our partnership with Virginia Mason Institute (VMI), SaTH is learning about lean methodology, philosophy and management systems, and the value it can bring to our patients and staff.
The Trust have developed this into the Transforming Care Production System and will support staff to transform their services and how care is delivered at SaTH.
The Open Days, which will be held quarterly, offer the opportunity to hear about the work, our journey and our own learning in developing our Transforming Care Production System.
During the day the people present got the opportunity to hear from the teams on the genba about the improvement work going on across the Trust and also got the opportunity to attend our Friday Report Out.
