The following presentation is a PowerPoint based version of an interactive diagram which helps focus on where key
drivers and work streams align, crossover and run parallel.
The diagrams are generated from the developments and successful role out of
‘Releasing Time to Care’.
These diagrams will evolve as services develop and progress towards excellence. This capacity for change reflects and
promotes the principles of quality improvement and the necessity for on-going cycles of improvement as key.
