Technology - (you can tell there will be an imminent rant but later)- I'm writing this (slowly however) on my new mobile phone. It is a hugely capable device that does all the usual tricks of phoning, video calling, camera and java, but this one also has windows software, email and high speed internet. This means I can stay in touch when and how I want. Now just suppose for a second, the NHS would make use of this technology.

Wednesday this week I ran our first full day Capacity and Demand training session for members. It truly is astonishing that Statistical Process Control ( SPC )one of the most useful tools available to healthcare both administratively and clinically is used as often as a chocolate fireguard.

The trouble with Blogging is you have to do it regularly! I've been too busy working to write down what I have been doing! Who would have thought that February could have been so busy!

Ran a department specific Lean overview with the 21 members of the speech and language therapy team and they have generated several project ideas they want to do already!

A good start to the week looking at an appointments process. How long does it take to get a job in the NHS?? 26 days minimum (+ notice period) up to a staggering 260 days if you fall in every administrative black hole.

I spent some time looking into a 6S and visual management project for our new BIT Level 2 NVQ team. Taking an Endoscopy store room and setting some simple goals.
