Series 2, episode 9: Alison Jones on LFEQI and Appreciative Inquiry
Description
Alison Jones is the Quality Improvement manager at the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit in Birmingham Children's Hospital. Alison has been a core member of the LFE movement since she was the project lead in the PRAISe project in 2017. Since then, she has adopted strengths-based methods into her current role. She is probably one of the leading experts in the use of Appreciative Inquiry in QI in healthcare, so there is a lot of wisdom imparted here as she reflects on her extensive experience of using this approach. We cover a range of topics, including Alison's practical definitions of AI and LFEQI, her thoughts on how and why this approach works, how to approach cynics, the fact that "soft skills" tend to underlie a great deal of excellent practice, reframing in various forms, safety-II and much more.
