At ROC, we are dedicated to supporting initiatives that strengthen patient care, enhance wellbeing, and inspire innovation. One of the recent ways we’ve contributed is by funding the introduction of Huddle Boards, an effective, visual tool helping teams across the hospital communicate more clearly and drive positive change.

Why We Funded the Huddle Boards

Continuous improvement thrives when staff have the space and structure to share ideas, identify challenges and work together on solutions. The Service Improvement Team at ROH recognised that huddle boards could offer exactly that—a simple yet powerful way for teams to connect, collaborate and create meaningful improvements.

ROC was delighted to fund these boards, to ensure every team has access to a resource that supports better communication and collective problem-solving.

What Staff Are Already Achieving

Feedback from teams using the boards highlights several positive outcomes:

• Better communication across departments
• Increased engagement and collaboration
• A structured approach to discussing improvements
• Stronger ownership of ideas and actions

Through their huddles, teams have already delivered a wide variety of improvements—from refining training timetables and updating key processes to introducing new equipment and creating quieter, more efficient workspaces. These real-world examples show just how powerful staff-led ideas can be.

ROC’s Commitment

We at ROC are proud to play a part in strengthening communication and continuous improvement at ROH. The Service Improvement Huddle Boards are enabling staff to share, learn and innovate together—and we look forward to supporting the ongoing rollout in the year ahead.

By investing in tools that empower staff and enhance patient care, we are helping build a hospital environment where improvement is not just encouraged, but embedded in everyday practice.
