About Jan Potts
- Jan
- Worston, Lancashire, United Kingdom
- I am an experienced enthusiastic nurse with over 15 years at a senior level. With a passion for delivering the best care we can for patients I have spent the last ten years working at the front line within high profile improvement programs specialising in putting the theory into practice. I'm told I am a strong leader and facilitator of improvement and transformational change I have a track record of developing capacity and capability for improvement, locally, regionally nationally and internationally by developing and facilitating communities of improvement across programmes and clinical disciplines. The work I have done has always focused on developing the emotional intelligence of both individuals and teams and organisations. This combined with a sound practical knowledge of improvement science enables her to ensure the policy and theory is turned into practice.
