The Research Institute of Enhancing Learning draws
on research expertise to enhance understanding. Dee is working with the
NHS and the University on the ‘risk-e’
project that aims to improve patient safety and
reduce cost of litigation brought about by mistakes
in the NHS. Through Dee’s innovative approach
to risk management training - NHS staff are committed
to improving patient safety. The focus has been
on ensuring staff and the NHS work toward a shared
mission. As a result of Dee’s involvement
the teaching of health service staff has been
enhanced. Dee’s commitment to improving
the NHS and her unwavering enthusiasm has inspired
the people around her. Dee’s style of teaching
is inclusive and fosters an atmosphere where staff
and students feel comfortable talking about their
experiences so that others can learn and benefit.
She has led her team to develop educational opportunities
for staff throughout Wales. One key area has been
focusing on ensuring staff are clear what their
goals are. Dee’s unwavering enthusiasm and
understanding has pushed the process from strength-to-strength
through smooth and challenging times. She believes
passionately in the NHS and wants to make it the
great institution it was meant to be. Dee offers
support and trust that has inspired the team to
achieve her vision with a sense of joint purpose.
Sixteen months into the project both colleagues
and students alike have been empowered to improve
patient safety under Dee’s solid leadership.
