There are many great things about my role and the one that stands out most for me is when I witness a colleague or a team of colleagues see their efforts of improvement demonstrated with evidence, they appear noticeably proud of what they have achieved and this is often linked with the purpose and passion that led them to do what they do in their roles- witnessing these moments of glory of acknowledging the improvements in Quality and safety is definitely what I enjoy most about my role.
