12. Dr Terri Porrett - #FabNHSStuff - and so much more!

Wild Card - Whose Shoes?

Today is #FabChange21 - the Fab Change 21 Festival - and how better to celebrate this than to chat with Dr Terri Porrett, otherwise known as ’The Blonde.’ You can find out more about 'being blonde', and how it relates to quality improvement, during the podcast!
Gill Phillips will be running a 'Whose Shoes - Poet's Corner' as part of #FabChange21 - you can pitch up and join the day's activities here: FabChangeFestival 21 Programme (fabnhsstuff.net)
A specialty nurse, and Head of Education for the Ostomy division at Coloplast, Terri has huge experience. Today we are talking about her fabulous work at Fab NHS Stuff. And network weaving - Terri is a super connector!
Never one to take ‘no’ for an answer, I’m told that grit and determination are Terri’s middle names - and possibly even belligerent ;-)
Key lemon lightbulb:
NEVER start with a blank piece of paper, If you are planning a quality improvement, someone has always made some progress before you. Link up and find out what they are doing. #FabNHS Stuff can help!
And if you have done some work around quality improvement you’re proud of, share it with others. Again #FabNHS Stuff can help!
Why the Blonde? I think it contains a lot of lemon lightbulbs

Be proud of what you do

🍋 B- Big up what you do

🍋 L - Little things matter

🍋 O - Opportunities to showcase what you do

🍋 N - Never underestimate The importance of what you do

🍋 D - Determined every day to make a difference

🍋 E - Energise - pass your passion, your success on to your colleagues

These values define NHS Fab staff - Sharing the good stuff you do!

Huge synergy with #WhoseShoes pledges and our crusade against re-inventing the wheel. We need to encourage more people to put their successes on Fab NHS stuff!
We are going to set up a #MatExp campaign page. I’m not even sure whether our case studies are there, so we have some homework!
