In this programme, we get to the heart of what the health innovation networks are all about - supporting the adoption and spread of proven innovation into healthcare. We hear from two of our directors, Tasha Swinscoe and Peter Carpenter, who share their insights and reflections on the different ingredients needed for successful scaling of innovation. They also explore the role of the Health Innovation Network in this space, and highlight a few examples of innovations developed here in the West Country that we've helped to spread further afield.

Join Becca Lunn and Sarah White from Health Innovation West of England's Academy team for the second episode of QualiTea.

So what is QualiTea? Quite simply, it's time for a cup of tea and a useful conversation. Each episode is a short, informal chat between Sarah and Becca, focusing on one simple improvement tool. They'll use relatable examples and talk about how you might actually use it in your day-to-day work to help you think a bit differently about a problem. Not in theory, in real life.

In this episode, we're looking at Lotus Blossom - a structured brainstorming exercise used to expand on a central idea or problem, great for coming up with new solutions when you thought you had run out of ideas.

So grab a brew, get comfortable, and let's get started.
