Today is World Health Day! This year's focus is #HopefulFutures.

We are proud to have supported the incredible work of Black Maternity Matters, a programme created to improve the quality of maternity care for Black women.

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.

#QISky

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?

#QISky #Qcommunity

We've started a starter pack on BlueSky for Q community members. Hopefully, you'll find some familiar faces!

#Qcommunity #Qmembers

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! 👀

If you're a #QCommunity member, you'll need to set yourself a new password to access the member area.

In the member area, our groups have had a makeover. And this part of the site is now more tailored, with personalised activity feeds so you can see what's happening in your groups. 🥳

Homepage We are a large and vibrant membership community for people working to improve health and care across the UK and Ireland.

Last week we officially launched Q's new website. It's been a huge piece of work, with involvement from #QCommunity members and partners. We're really proud of the new site - there's so much potential for more collaboration!

Trust and confidence in technology-enabled care This analysis shares learning from four teams supported by the Health Foundation’s Q community about how to build trust and confidence in technology.

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 ⬇️
