The announcements yesterday and from earlier this week will bring significant change and uncertainty.

We’re thinking of our members, partners and colleagues across the sector who are affected and who we know are so committed to driving improvement in health and care.

At the risk of sending this into the void, what sort of things would be useful for @theqcommunity.bsky.social to be doing on this platform? I'm interested to know how we can build up our improvement community in a way that serves everyone better :) Thoughts welcome!

Are there any Q members out there?

We relaunched our website at the end of 2024 and now have a jazzy bit of the site for member connecting. There's even a personalised newsfeed!

To get in there, you need to refresh your password.

Has anyone explored it yet?

I'm not sure how many members are here, but if you are a #QMember, have you checked out our new website yet?

We also have a new community space. To access it you need to set a brand new password (using your Qmunicate email) and then you can explore the group spaces and activity! 👀

Hi #QISky! This curated feed is an exciting feature to find. Is anyone here a #Qcommunity member? 👀 👋🏻

Trust and confidence in digital tech are crucial to successfully adopting and implementing it in health care, but it’s often overlooked when rolling out new tech.

Last week we published a long read about this, exploring lessons from the #QLab programme ⬇️
