Clinical Leadership
The Network has established strong clinical leadership over a number of years and this comprises various forums in order to support delivery of the Network Plan and the Quality Improvement Programme.
Our
vision of quality outcomes for critical care services is driven by
and reliant on strong clinical engagement and leadership. The
Network facilitates collaborative opportunities bringing together
multi-professional clinical leaders and experts, to use their
knowledge and understanding of their patients’ needs to identify
areas for improvement.
We support the NHS principle of clinical ownership and leadership, and respect the needs and wishes of critical care patients their families and friends in all that we do. Locally we are aiming to transform patient and public participation in the way critical care services are developed.
Please find more detailed information on individual work areas and forums below. More information and forums will be added as they become available.
2018 Quality Improvement Event
The Network’s annual Quality Improvement Event was held on 22nd February 2018 and yet again proved to be a popular event with approximately 100 delegates from across Lancashire and South Cumbria's Critical Care units. Our excellent multidisciplinary speakers gave some fascinating presentations covering a range of topics including:
"It was exciting to see how far the ODN had come over the past 18 years, where now there is a culture of improvement and a willingness to share across the region".
The day culminated with the presentation of the Sarah Brookfield Award to Furness for their quality improvement project.
