About

We are a community of thousands of people across the UK and Ireland, collaborating to improve the safety and quality of health and care. Q is delivered by the Health Foundation and supported and co-funded by partners across the UK and Ireland.

I’ve had people that I still work closely with that I don’t think I would have come into contact with without Q…you potentially meet someone that you wouldn’t normally meet but you do have common ground. I think that was the greatest change.

Together, to improve health and care

We are a community of thousands of people across the UK and Ireland, collaborating to improve the safety and quality of health and care. We share
our knowledge and support each other to tackle challenges. Together, we make faster progress to change health and care for the better.

Members are at the heart of Q. The community thrives on its diverse range of skills, knowledge and perspectives. We inspire and support each other every day to deliver improvements to health and care. We develop our methods and share insights as we do so. And with a community spanning health, care and lived experience, we find new and inclusive ways for everyone to progress.

Membership of Q is free. Through networking and events, topic-focused groups and collaborative funding programmes, we support members to develop and deliver their day-to-day work. We bring people together through the Q Lab network to learn about specific topics, uncover new insights and develop and test ideas. Our insight and resources are available for anyone to learn, share and support each other. Q provides a flexible way to boost the resilience, capacity and impact of people working throughout health and care where it’s needed most.

It’s giving people the opportunity to be involved and to network with other colleagues here who are like-minded…, so I think it is a very welcome addition to what we are currently doing.

Along with our partners and members, we have the reach to bring about individual and collective change that extends far beyond our community. By combining our energy and actions, we multiply our power to create more effective, equitable and sustainable health and care.
