Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust invests heavily in a Quality Champions initiative and encourages staff of all levels to sign up and develop quality champion projects meaningful to their area of work and as a way of identifying improvements to service.
In May 2013 Wrightington Wigan and Leigh (WWL) NHS Foundation Trust launched its Nursing, Midwifery and Allied Health Professional Strategy, outlining its vision for this group of staff. Recognising the many challenges that are faced by staff, the ethos behind the strategy is a return to the fundamentals of care to reduce harm to patients.With this in mind, the Trust’s practice education facilitators (PEFs) considered how best to reinforce the fundamental values of nursing with students who access the Trust for practice learning.
