and local priorities. The key changes are summarised as fol ows. The main message coming out of the review was that 
there was a need to provide greater support for improvements in quality, especial y in areas such as the service user 
experience and their safety.
The directorate will now be re-named The Quality and Information Directorate and wil  comprise two teams, the 
Quality and Performance Team and the Information Team. My responsibilities as nursing director wil  continue as usual 
even though the word wil  not appear in my title. Sue Chapman wil  change her title to Head of Quality and  
Performance and wil  deputise for me when required. Jil  Pawlyn left the Trust at the end of October and her post as 
Lecturer Practitioner wil  be replaced by the new post of Service User Experience Co-ordinator. The post previously 
occupied by Penny Rivers in the IT team wil  become an Information and Performance Analyst post in the Quality and 
Performance Team.  This wil  be advertised shortly.
