Bed Meetings
The bed meeting redesign has expanded from the 0900 bed meeting to encompass site reports and handover reports that occur over a 24-hour period.
This work is intended to support the principles of flow and most of the work going on at the site to improve flow. It is an opportunity for team building, communication and education.
