A senior staff member at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (N&N) has been selected to be part of a national initiative.

Sheila Glenn, a divisional operations director, will join the improvement network 'Q' which has been developed - and will be led by - The Health Foundation and NHS Improvement.

The aim of the initiative is to share ideas, enhance skills, and collaborate to improve health care and support local priorities.

Q will start to pilot a variety of activities and opportunities for people to learn from each other.

Ms Glenn said: 'I am delighted to be selected to join the Q community. We will work together on major projects with the focus on improvement and safety in health and social care across the country.'

Mark Davies, N&N chief executive, said: 'This is a tremendous accolade for Sheila. Sheila will make a fantastic contribution to the Q community. Her experience will be incredibly valuable.'
