After 6 years collaborating with NOCA on #HipFORGE, I’m pinching myself that in 1 week I’ll be joining the team permanently as Audit Programme Manager, Trauma & Surgery🦴🚑

Attending this inspirational workshop with JBI and NOCA this week was an energising start to the next chapter. 🎉
Following our recent workshop with Assoc. Prof. Craig Lockwood from @jbiebhc.bsky.social, NOCA is excited to explore new opportunities in evidence implementation. Meaningful connections were made and we look forward to progressing ideas into action. #ClinicalAudit #QualityImprovement

Inspirational morning at this FLS event. Learning from NZ:
- Build a national coalition of the willing.
- Explore a national injury prevention entity.
- Audit what exists and build roadmap.
Lots of work done and lots to build on for fractures across the board in 🇮🇪! @louisebrent28.bsky.social
