  "abstract": "Healthcare organisations invest substantial effort in redesigning systems, implementing new technologies and improving quality and safety processes. Comparatively less attention is paid to how healthcare teams learn together to accomplish these changes. Yet, many of the challenges that compromise quality and safety arise not from deficits in individual knowledge or skill but from interactions among people, roles, workflows, technologies and organisational systems. In the accompanying paper, Payne1 described the development and pilot evaluation of a training programme designed to improve the safety and equity of remote general practice in the UK. Their findings highlight the value of creating structured opportunities for different clinical, administrative and managerial staff to examine everyday work together. Their study offers a timely reminder that team learning may be more than an educational activity; it may be one of the core mechanisms through which improvement and safer care are achieved.",
