PICH Leadership Reading List
An amazing journey. Learnt a lot about myself and met some amazing people!
I started the journey extremely excited about the prospects of integration. I wasn’t sure how it would be given the pandemic as I felt this sort of work would be more productive in person. However, having large and small group sessions in the monthly meetings did make this a lot more interactive than I thought. I remember mixed emotions after the first few meetings.

Summary from PICH November 2019 – QI principles
This month the theme was QI principles and techniques. We heard from Kiran Rahim (from the QI change champions at the London School of Paediatrics) about the key components of QI many of which are very applicable in integrated care work. Particularly the model for improvement; AIM – being really focussed in any project work you do about what you aim to change MEASURE – how will you know you are achieving your aim CHANGE – how will we know…
Learning Together
