Dr Peter Lavender OBE Vice Chair, North

quality• Some facilitation, summary of

publications, input from each college• Topic 1: QI systems; topic 2: QI

questioning; topic 3 to be decided

– expertise, – good practice, – a common accord, and – practice worth sharing on quality improvement.

Outcomes

quality inprovement– learner voice and horizontal accountability– powerful questions and appreciative inquiry– re-balancing our governance and developing a
