#ProjectA
We'd love to have representation from all UK ambulance services at the event.
There was great feedback about how the service wants to take change forward.
Great to hear that the Welsh Ambulance have had a total of 26 improvement and innovation ideas submitted from across the organisation for their improvement programme.
Virtual working is essential in today's working world. Bev was able to share insights from our Nursing Now England and #ProjectA work to Neil, who works with the Fire & Emergency Services in New Zealand!

What type of twitter user are you? Dr. Damara says she used to be a "Lurker" but thanks to leaders like Helen Bevan she's learnt to use twitter to build a network!
As part of the virtual session on being a social leader for Montefiore, Leigh shared that adding a photo to a tweet grabs more attention.
Helen and Leigh's webinar went really well. Leigh loved co-leading the session! We look forward to seeing everyone's #LeadingChangeMHVC tweets.
