Things people are going to do as a result of attending the meeting include:

"Build on the work we have done with PPI and emphasise evidence based information"

"Working on using stats toolkit as we speak!"

"Change job adverts to what we can do for them (have written one today based on Rachel Cooke's example)"

"Nothing at the moment but as details of the new quality outcomes become available, things may need to change"

"Encourage staff to get involved with Northern Lights"
