The problem
The VM community needs to have a creative way to share, learn and support each other because otherwise our network cannot thrive!
The challenge
How might we create a platform so that VMs can connect to each other quickly, to allow learning, or questions to be asked and answers to be given, at any time of day or night?
How might we create opportunities to support VMs so that they can benefit from peer support in what can sometimes be a lonely place – being a positive person in a challenging NHS environment?
The outputs
The tangible products are the connection of people and problems to solutions and energy.
The outcomes
- Improvement in efficiency by connecting VMs with challenges to solutions and opportunities.
- Improvements in personal health and wellbeing by providing VMs with an outlet and a source of support for mutual connection.
