As part of Quality Improvement Week 2026, we recognised Laura White, Transformation Delivery Lead in Adult Social Care at Dorset Council for the exceptional work she has undertaken to champion innovation and improvement through the Dorset Innovation Hub.

Laura has played a key role in creating opportunities for collaboration, connecting partners across sectors, and helping to turn innovative ideas into practical solutions that benefit our communities. Her commitment to continuous improvement and her ability to bring people together have helped foster a culture where innovation can thrive.

Improvement is often about enabling others, creating the conditions for change, and supporting new ways of working. Through her dedication, leadership, and enthusiasm, Laura has consistently demonstrated the impact that this approach can have across our system.

The work of the Dorset Innovation Hub continues to showcase how partnership working and innovation can drive meaningful improvements, and Laura’s contribution has been instrumental in that success.

Thank you, Laura for your passion, commitment, and the positive difference you make. This QI Week, we are proud to celebrate your achievements and recognise the lasting impact of your work👏
