How do we share our learning?

There are many ways that we share our learning within University Hospitals Plymouth (UHP);

• Each month we hold a ‘Report Out’ event, which is open to ALL staff. This provides a forum to share learning relating to improvements that are ongoing in all areas throughout the Trust as part of the #PeopleFirst programme.

All staff are encouraged to share their improvement projects and learning internally across the Trust as well as externally on National and International platforms. Learning is also shared within the Trust over a variety of platforms via the UHP Communications Team. The Quality Academy are also on Twitter- @QAPlymouth
