In this moment: Nicola Sedgwick Rosie Sherry
Nicola Sedgwick shared these wise words during a TestBash talk in Brighton in 2016. And Rosie Sherry recently reminded us that "At the heart of Quality is Care is the idea that we continually make attempts to spread quality everywhere."

Care themes continue to reveal themselves and evolve, and it's nice to join the dots as we continue to amplify those who are leading with quality. Nicola is part of the leadership team running the 1-day Leading with Quality event. https://www.ministryoftesting.com/events/leading-with-quality
