How are opportunities created for staff to develop solutions to challenges they face daily?
Passion, knowledge, creativity and commitment of people who provide services energises improvement. We also believe that because they have a unique insight into the challenges of their services, they are best placed to develop practical and sustainable solutions in partnership with people who access services.

It is a key driver on the Framework for Improving Quality in our Health Service and is intrinsically linked to the other drivers.
