Welcome to the QI Guy in Conversation with...podcast. In this episode, I'm in conversation with Pete Vesey.

Pete came late to Occupational Therapy and qualified in 2006. Following a couple of years on Band 5 rotations, Pete worked in vocational
rehabilitation for 5 years and a further 5 years in community pain management. He has worked for Dorset Healthcare University NHS Foundation Trust since 2011. For much of his OT career, he has worked in new and developing services or forward-thinking teams which encouraged my appetite for developing and improving services, processes, and care. Having reached a decision point in his career between developing in clinical specialism or service improvement Pete was successful in joining the new Quality Improvement Team at Dorset Healthcare in 2018.  Since August 2022 he has been working informally as QI Lead as part of the new Transformation Team.  Since June 2022, Pete has been working 1 day a week on a fixed-term contract for the Royal College of Occupational Therapists on a project focussing on enabling members to understand and embed sustainability in their actions and work with service users.
