Daniel Sherwood
I’m the Recovery College Manager for the Forensic Directorate. This is a new role, and I have really enjoyed working with the staff here to set up and run this new service.
I have previously worked as a Professional Recovery Tutor, and in a variety of roles in the voluntary sector based around mental health and wellbeing.
The QI approach is to me a practical methodology for creating positive change in services, and I’m really enthusiastic about its possibilities – hence my choice to be a QI coach!
A QI Coach role involves:
- Coaching QI teams within directorates, meeting with the team regularly
- Deeper knowledge of improvement methods and tools
Their responsibilities are:
- Help engage people and teams in QI
- Support project teams to develop ideas and strategy, using QI tools, and advise on how to complete project documentation
- Support project teams in using QI methodology, including PDSA cycles and data over time
- Provide monthly update on team progress to sponsor
- Teach and explain use of QI tools and methods
- Attend supervision with QI lead
