Vital democratic member decision-making restored to stop unwanted expenditure, turnaround 4-5 years of deficits and make BAOT/RCOT relevant again.

A hospital wide service for in and out patients @whitchurchhospital.bsky.social was led by Patricia Sunderland. See bulletin.ukahn.org/patricia-sun...

Check out Micheal Eraut, an expert in workplace based learning and competence. A deep thinker and educator. Sadly missed, but his publications may be helpful.
