While Walkabout performs the function of a regional update on our programs, we want it to convey something more. As a team we work actively with and on behalf of the delivery system, we are out and about in the region working closely with commissioners and providers most of the time. A critical function for us is to facilitate and act as a catalyst for positive change. Our programs draw on a vast base of experience from users/carers, voluntary sector, offender health services and professionals. While we see the challenges that staff deal with, we are always struck by just how hard people strive to deliver the best, the opportunities and innovation that they create to overcome obstacles and the excellence services and care they provide. We want Walkabout to convey the experience of delivering high quality care and positive change. So we hope that those who read this will work with us to share and spread what is happening in the East Midlands. Walkabout aspires to be about the lived experiences of change in the East Midlands and about the endless possibilities for continuous self-sustaining improvement and innovation.
