QI Connect Podcast

Maureen Bisognano - Quality improvement across health and social care

In this podcast we hear from Professor Atul Gawande - a surgeon, writer, and public health researcher. Atul introduces us to Peg, his daughter's piano teacher, who is dying and faces choices around quality versus quantity of life. He describes how Peg and her husband Martin consider her preferences for care and the trade-offs that allow her to be at home and be in control of her symptoms. Atul describes what matters in the end, and how the priorities and preferences of the individual are key and that having conversations earlier makes a huge difference to patients, their families and caregivers. He describes the evidence base, the challenges, and also offers many practical approaches and tools that might just help you in your work.

Elaine Inglesby-Burke - Nursing: our promise to learn, our commitment to act

In this podcast we hear from Bill Lucas, Director of the Centre for Real-World Learning and Professor of Learning at the University of Winchester. Bill sets out for us that we can actually identify the key attributes of people that actually make improvement happen. He calls these the habits of an improver. Bill also looks at systems of care and challenges us to consider whether these habits or attributes are actually present in the systems where we work. He challenges us to think within - and out with - our organisations, about people and the systems.
