A lot of the tasks are about about recording data consistently, adhering to pre-defined standards, creating uniform records, etc, and that doesn't really lend itself to wild new ideas. However, I could see we could be creative in the way we approach workflows, and how staff and teams work together - i.e. the processes rather than the tasks themselves.]]> 2019-04-24 10:01:55 UTC https://padlet.com/angela_rae/abffaceyzou5/wish/353669265 https://padlet.com/angela_rae/abffaceyzou5/wish/353670252 Napping areas with afternoon nap time permitted/encouraged!
