The Academy of Fabulous Stuff is an organisation that commits itself to creating opportunities to share best practice, free and in the spirit of improvement and learning.
For an organisation to meet the Academy’s criteria to be accredited, it has to be committed to the overarching values and ambitions and more specifically demonstrate evidence of:
- Leaders of the organisation must demonstrate they are committed to the Academy’s mission by encouraging and facilitating members of staff to share their ideas and best practice.
- The internal systems for posting material on the pages of the Academy should require no permission or go through any editing processes
- Leaders actively support and enable front line staff to improve their services and the culture of the organisation reflects the importance of the link between staff wellbeing and patient experience.
- The organisation must be able to demonstrate a strategy for achieving operation excellence and continuous improvement.
- The organisation must demonstrate that Fab Ambassadors and Champions are embedded and supported throughout the organisation
- Change Day events are
participated in yearly, actively
supported and participated in by
the Board and promoted widely
by the organisations
Communications Department.
- The organisation encourages and creates opportunities for sharing best practice within the organisation, department to department
Being a Fab accredited Trust is not an improvement technique, it is an improvement philosophy and at PAHT there was clear evidence that the philosophy is embedded right across the organisation and from the top to the bottom.
In January 2020 we were thrilled to be able to accredit our second organisation - Princess Alexandra Harlow - an organisation which is quite simply committed to supporting all clinical staff to make service improvements.
You can find the hundreds of quality improvement projects that their staff have submitted over the last three years in one place - inspiration is just a click away
