The purpose of the event was to connect people involved in or interested in Learning from Excellence to form a community of practice. It was generously sponsored by the West Midlands Patient Safety Collaborative and supported by the team from the West Midlands AHSN.
The event became much more than a usual conference though. It allowed us to reflect on why LfE is so important, how it has grown and where it is heading. We were inspired and engaged by superb speakers, practised appreciative inquiry and heard from teams all round the country who have introduced a form of learning from excellence. It felt different, just like LfE feels different, and we are proud to have brought everyone together.
A copy of the event brochure is available here: LfE Programme (FINAL), and PDFs of many of the posters presented are available to view and download on the LfE Conference Posters page. The ” How to set up LfE: an implementation checklist” mentioned during the panel discussion is available to download from the Resources page.
The wonderful Suzette Woodward, who spoke about Safety II has written a beautiful summary of the day which can be found here.
