NHS Lanarkshire’s third annual Quality Week took place from Monday 18 to Friday 22 November, with staff involved in a variety of events and training sessions promoting quality, developing staff capacity and capability and celebrating the improvement work taking place across the organisation.

A selection of training sessions were delivered during the week including:

• Human factors for quality improvement;
• aEquip for individuals;
• The Great Taboo;
• Complaints session;
• Realistic medicine;
• Quality improvement education and networking event; and
• Significant adverse event training.

A ‘celebration event’ was held at the South Lanarkshire Council Banqueting Suite on Tuesday 19 November which was attended by approximately 170 staff. The event, which was opened by Neena Mahal, Chair of NHS Lanarkshire, provided staff with information and presentations linked to the six quality domains in healthcare – safe, effective, person-centred, timely and equitable. Chief executive Calum Campbell presented the People’s Choice Award to the six winning posters, chosen by the attendees who had selected their favourite posters of the 36 submissions from the three acute hospital sites and North and South Health and Social Care Partnerships.
