People
• Acute Care Collaboration Vanguard.
• Only Vanguard with exclusive focus on women’s and children’s services.
• Formation of Cheshire and Merseyside Women’s and Children’s Services Partnership.
• 27 NHS Organisations working together to develop New Models of Care.
• Opportunity to do things differently.
We formed a Partnership
We rallied the troops
 Appointed Clinical and Nurse leads
 Created and utilised clinical networks
 Provided summits to voice concerns, share ideas and co-design
 Became a partnership
 Developed robust governance framework
 Became a system with a vision, a mission & values
 We collaborated and broke down barriers
 We involved people
We dealt with……
We developed a case for change
“Staffing ‘inadequate’ at baby death hospital“
(BBC, 2017)
“Hospitals forced to suspend acute services
due to lack of doctors and nurses” (ITV, 2016)
“Family in line for massive NHS pay out after baby suffered
brain damage during birth” (Liverpool Echo, 2017)
“NHS suffering 'virtual storm' of financial
pressures” (BBC, 2017)
The key messages are:
Patient safety is being compromised by workforce shortages, resulting in sub-optimal clinical outcomes.
Access to care outside of a hospital setting is limited with patients receiving insufficient choice.
Services are not financially sustainable in their current form.

Thought for the day
Nicky Lyon’s challenge
Campaign for safer births (NHSI website)
• How do you know your unit is delivering the safest care
possible? How does your unit compare to others in the
MBRRACE audit & National Maternity & Perinatal Audit data?
• Is your unit following all current guidelines? Are they
documented, trained, audited?
• Are you investigating all Serious Incidents robustly with
external representation and parental input invited? How are
you supporting the staff in the unit to implement
recommendations from these reviews?
• Do you know how many stillbirths there have been in your
unit? Do you know how many occurred during labour? How
many Serious Incidents?
• Do you read feedback and comments from parents in the
Friends & Family Test and the Care Quality Commission
questionnaire? What changes have you implemented in
response to this feedback?
• Have you checked the staff in the unit are receiving all the
training, support and resources they need to do their job well?
• Is multidisciplinary working developed at your trust – with joint
training, briefings and handovers?
• Have you briefed the board on maternity safety and the activity
you would like to undertake to further improve?

Innovation Agency:
North West Coast
Presentation 1
• ‘A promise to learn - a commitment to
act’ (Berwick 2013) made a series of
recommendations to improve patient
safety following the 2013 Francis
Report
• Patient Safety Collaborative (PSC)
programme was created to support
delivery of recommendations
• PSC developed as a joint initiative
between NHS Improvement and the
AHSN Network
• Local patient safety work plus 3
national workstreams:
• Maternal and Neonatal
• Deterioration
• Patient Safety Culture

By March 2020 each organisation, local maternity system and network will have:
• significant capability and capacity for improvement
• detailed knowledge of the local safety culture
• understood their priorities and gaps, and developed a local improvement plan
• made significant improvement to the local service and system quality and
safety
• data to share with their board, patients, staff and commissioners that reflect
these improvements
…to create the conditions for a safety culture and a national maternal and
neonatal learning system
….so - Learning Systems!
• The Method for Improvement (IHI)
• Measurement for Improvement
• IHI Safety Culture Model
• Safety Culture Assessment (SCORE)
• Life QI project management platform
• Coaching Academy
• QI basics & Bronze level QI e-learning coming soon
• A safety culture:
• a mind-set and a set of behaviours that become the very essence of what we do so that working
safely is embedded into our beliefs, customs, social behaviour, ‘the way we do it round here
• is mindful for the potential for getting it wrong, for risk and harm, one that takes steps to prevent that
and to minimise its effects if it does
• seeks to learn when things do go wrong or nearly go wrong; learn so that things can be changed to
the system to the designs of what we do to intuitively help us get it right
• one that seeks to learn from the day to day and seeks to learn from when we get it right in order to
replicate it, and seeks a way of optimising what we know we do well
• Not ‘one person’s job’ or a topic of ‘patient safety’ but helping people work safely
• To quote Sign up to Safety:
We believe that in order to do this we need a different way of working together. One where we are kind
and respectful of each other. That we need to help people connect and create the relationships that
are vital for safety; where people are able to speak out, and are listened to when they do. This culture
needs to be fair and consistent both when things have gone wrong and when things have gone right; a
‘just culture’.

Creating an environment where
people feel comfortable and have
opportunities to raise concerns or ask
questions.
Being held to act in a safe and
respectful manner given the
training and support to do so.
Developing a shared understanding,
anticipation of needs and problems,
agreed methods to manage these as well
as conflict situations
Gaining genuine agreement on
matters of importance to team
members, patients and families.
Regularly collecting and learning
from defects and successes.
Improving work processes and patient outcomes
using standard improvement tools including
measurements over time.
Applying best evidence and
minimizing non-patient specific
variation with the goal of failure
free operation over time.
Openly sharing data and other
information concerning safe, respectful
and reliable care with staff and partners
and families.

What is a Learning
System?
Innovation Agency:
North West Coast
• A forum for local improvement to be shared and to thrive
• An opportunity for all stakeholders to work collaboratively
• An opportunity for increasing local improvement capability
• Opportunities for system level improvement / scale up within each
learning system
• Support for LMSs, SCNs and ODN
• A sustainable solution for maternal and neonatal improvement
• a safe and continuously improving culture
121
Similar to Community of Practice
• clear ‘common interest’
• agreed ground rules - National Terms of Reference
• shared archive
• everyone involved is viewed as equal
• 'supported' - sponsored by the PSC, ODN, SCNs & LMSs
• common aim - To build knowledge and skills for patient safety & continuous
improvement in maternity & neonatal services
• support health professionals with knowledge, experience, and resources
• CoP v LS (probably the biggest difference) with a LS we can impose rules and
regulations, and can influence the agenda and who is a member
• We will do this together (Co-design agenda)

High performing teams
#1 Psychological safety – teams felt able to speak
up, to offer ideas without being shot down, there
was high sociability among team members
#2 Dependability – team members felt they could
rely on each other to do what they committed to,
and to a high standard
#Structure and clarity – the team knew their
objectives and had resources to do them
#Meaning – the team were motivated by shared
purpose and balues
#Visible impact – the team were able to see the
fruits of their labour, and how it contributed to the
bigger picture This Photo by Unknown Author i licensed under CC BY-

A team climate where it is
safe to take interpersonal
risks and be vulnerable in
front of each other.
A sense of confidence that
the team will not embarrass,
reject or punish someone for
speaking up.

Access to care outside of a hospital setting is limited with patients receiving insufficient choice. Services are not financially sustainable in their current form.

    Nicky Lyon’s challenge Campaignfor safer births (NHSI website) • How do you know your unit is delivering the safest care possible? How does your unit compare to others in the MBRRACE audit & National Maternity & Perinatal Audit data? • Is your unit following all current guidelines? Are they documented, trained, audited? • Are you investigating all Serious Incidents robustly with external representation and parental input invited? How are you supporting the staff in the unit to implement recommendations from these reviews? • Do you know how many stillbirths there have been in your unit? Do you know how many occurred during labour? How many Serious Incidents?
  • 59.
    • Do youread feedback and comments from parents in the Friends & Family Test and the Care Quality Commission questionnaire? What changes have you implemented in response to this feedback? • Have you checked the staff in the unit are receiving all the training, support and resources they need to do their job well? • Is multidisciplinary working developed at your trust – with joint training, briefings and handovers? • Have you briefed the board on maternity safety and the activity you would like to undertake to further improve? https://improvement.nhs.uk/resources/parents-view-my- challenge-board-level-maternity-safety-champions/

    • A safetyculture: • a mind-set and a set of behaviours that become the very essence of what we do so that working safely is embedded into our beliefs, customs, social behaviour, ‘the way we do it round here • is mindful for the potential for getting it wrong, for risk and harm, one that takes steps to prevent that and to minimise its effects if it does • seeks to learn when things do go wrong or nearly go wrong; learn so that things can be changed to the system to the designs of what we do to intuitively help us get it right • one that seeks to learn from the day to day and seeks to learn from when we get it right in order to replicate it, and seeks a way of optimising what we know we do well • Not ‘one person’s job’ or a topic of ‘patient safety’ but helping people work safely • To quote Sign up to Safety: We believe that in order to do this we need a different way of working together. One where we are kind and respectful of each other. That we need to help people connect and create the relationships that are vital for safety; where people are able to speak out, and are listened to when they do. This culture needs to be fair and consistent both when things have gone wrong and when things have gone right; a ‘just culture’. A Learning Culture

    Transparency Leadership Psychological Safety Negotiation Teamwork & Communication Accountability Reliability Improvement & Measurement Continuous Learning Engagement ofPatients & Family Facilitating and mentoring teamwork, improvement, respect and psychological safety. Creating an environment where people feel comfortable and have opportunities to raise concerns or ask questions. Being held to act in a safe and respectful manner given the training and support to do so. Developing a shared understanding, anticipation of needs and problems, agreed methods to manage these as well as conflict situations Gaining genuine agreement on matters of importance to team members, patients and families. Regularly collecting and learning from defects and successes. Improving work processes and patient outcomes using standard improvement tools including measurements over time. Applying best evidence and minimizing non-patient specific variation with the goal of failure free operation over time.

    What is aLearning System? Innovation Agency: North West Coast
  • 121.
    • A forumfor local improvement to be shared and to thrive • An opportunity for all stakeholders to work collaboratively • An opportunity for increasing local improvement capability • Opportunities for system level improvement / scale up within each learning system • Support for LMSs, SCNs and ODN • A sustainable solution for maternal and neonatal improvement • a safe and continuously improving culture 121
  • 122.
    Similar to Communityof Practice • clear ‘common interest’ • agreed ground rules - National Terms of Reference • shared archive • everyone involved is viewed as equal • 'supported' - sponsored by the PSC, ODN, SCNs & LMSs • common aim - To build knowledge and skills for patient safety & continuous improvement in maternity & neonatal services • support health professionals with knowledge, experience, and resources • CoP v LS (probably the biggest difference) with a LS we can impose rules and regulations, and can influence the agenda and who is a member • We will do this together (Co-design agenda)
