“‘The mind is like a parachute, best used when it is open!’ That’s how the AHSN leads and supports the adoption/adaption and spread of innovation and improvement across the region. We want to learn from others and share our expertise to help colleagues deliver better and safer care. Being ahead of the curve, collaboration and team work are critical – and always more effective with an open mind.”
