Day 2 of the Insulin RPIW! We’ve started off the day with a high-level process map of the first 48hrs of an insulin-dependent patients journey at PHU.

…and that’s a wrap!🎬 The Insulin RPIW is now complete with the Report Out being held this afternoon. A great presentation showcasing a lot of hard work and improvements! Thank you to all those involved this week, your input has been invaluable👏 Portsmouth Hospitals University NHST #AlwaysImproving


"Quality of life should be the principal aim and then we accept we might get some extension of life as a result of that, and probably will, but the quality comes first." Professor Chris Whitty discusses a rapidly ageing UK population at #NTSummit Nuffield Trust youtube.com/watch?v=lCUY7o…


So pleased to see some of the improvements being looked at by our first front line teams adopting DEED in OPM. Truly inspirational, looking at reducing waste and making things easier, better, faster and cheaper. Great start! @PHU_Improvement OPM Senior Nursing Team OPM-incorporating stroke, ABI & reablement @LizRix_PHU

An excellent week for the DEED Wave 1 Wards from OPM! All of them are running their Improvement Huddles and starting to make Improvements happen on their wards.
