Fancy testing your improvement skills against a potato?

Our PDSA in Practice: Mr Potato Head Challenge is a fun, hands-on 45-minute session where you'll learn the basics of the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle - one of the most useful tools in quality improvement.

Whether you're brand new to QI or just want a refresher, this session is a great, practical introduction.

🌟 Celebrating our Improvement Champions! 🌟
Colleagues from across the Trust came together for our latest Shared Learning Forum – a chance to share ideas, celebrate progress and learn from one another.
This month's Improvement Champions were recognised for some brilliant work:
🌟 Megan Binns – reducing gynaecology cancer wait times against national targets
🌟 Hannah Hunter and Helen Kennedy – tackling hospital-acquired deconditioning
🌟 Our Maternity, Women & Children's team – developing a maternity passport and learning disability / neurodiversity pathway with Community Trust colleagues
The day also included spotlight presentations, training, and plans for our upcoming Quality Improvement week.
A huge well done to everyone involved – thank you for everything you do to improve care for our patients and communities. 👏

Learning improvement through a hands-on approach!

On 9th July 2026, Steph delivered Improvement Training as part of the Leading Self programme, where participants explored the use of Plan, Do, Study, Act (PDSA) cycles through a fun and interactive Mr Potato Head exercise.

The activity helped trainees understand how small tests of change can be used to learn, adapt and improve processes in a practical and engaging way.

A fantastic session with great participation and plenty of learning along the way!

On Tuesday, Lucy and Gemma delivered Managers Essentials training to a fantastic group of colleagues from WUTH and WCHC.

As part of the session, participants took part in the interactive Coin Spinning PDSA Game, exploring how small, simple tests of change can drive meaningful improvements in their teams and services. 🪙

The activity brought the Plan, Do, Study, Act (PDSA) cycle to life, helping managers build confidence in testing ideas on a small scale before wider implementation.

Thank you to everyone who took part and contributed to a great session focused on continuous improvement and learning. 👏

We’re proud to have launched our Pressure Ulcer Reduction Quality Improvement Programme this month - bringing together colleagues from across hospital and community services to improve patient care and safety.
Over 50 staff from a wide range of roles and teams came together to share expertise, identify what we do well, and agree practical steps to reduce pressure ulcers and enhance patient experience.
Key themes from the day included:
✅ Earlier identification of patients at risk
✅ Strong teamwork between clinical teams, patients and families
✅ Improving communication across services
✅ Ensuring the right equipment and support is available at the right time
The programme will now move into the implementation phase, with teams testing new ideas, sharing learning and continuing to work collaboratively to make care even safer.
👏 A huge thank you to everyone who contributed - this is a great example of how working together makes a real difference.

Today is the day! 🎉
The Improvement Team are now at the Commitment to Carers Conference 2026 and we'd love to see you!
The conference is running TODAY (Monday 8th June) from 10am to 7pm at Eureka! Science + Discovery, Victoria Place, Wallasey CH44 6NR.
It's completely free and open to any of Wirral's 33,000 unpaid carers.
Come and find our stall, grab a chat, and find out how the Improvement Team can support you. There are loads of services and organisations here today - if you have caring responsibilities, this is your day. 💜
Many carers don't realise they're identified as a carer or that there's dedicated support available to them - so please share this with anyone who might need it.

See you there! 👋

From 'daunting' to 'really enjoyable' - in one day. 🌟

On 4th June we made history (well, a little bit of it!) by running our very first joint QSIR Fundamentals training between WUTH and our Wirral Community Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust colleagues, and the feedback has been brilliant.

Everyone left with the tools and confidence to start making improvements in their own areas.

Interested in joining a future session? Get in touch with the Improvement Team to find out when the next one is running. 💜

We’re proud to celebrate a fantastic achievement within our Improvement Team 👏

Congratulations to Andrew Sutcliffe, Programme Manager, who has been named WUTH Employee of the Month (Support Services)! 🌟

Andrew has made an incredible impact through his leadership of the Wirral One Plan Improvement Programme, helping to improve patient flow across the Emergency Department and hospital wards.

While his role is not patient-facing, the difference he makes is felt directly in patient care - reducing delays, improving experiences, and supporting safer, more efficient pathways.
Colleagues describe Andrew as friendly, supportive, and approachable, with a talent for bringing people together and keeping teams motivated - even under pressure. His professionalism, resilience, and willingness to go above and beyond truly set him apart.

Alongside this, Andrew has recently qualified as a QSIR trainer, helping build improvement skills across the Trust 👏
A truly deserved recognition - well done Andrew, and thank you for everything you do!
