Hi all,
Just noticed that Q were offering a discount on early bird tickets for the International Forum on Quality and Safety in Healthcare 2024 which is now coming up quite soon in April.
Is anyone from this group going?
If not, why not?
To me it seems fairly expensive, outside what I would usually manage to get funded, however the content…Read more

Hi Jessica,
Great to have you join us- would you like to introduce yourself?
If you’d like to get more involved we can link you in with your regional group, or our new comm squad!

Hi Jo,
I’m Jess, I am a Operating Department Practitioner (ODP) and I have recently started in a new role in Quality Improvement for Theatres. It would be great to network with any similar roles out there!
Absolutely, looking forward to getting involved. Thank you.

Good morning QI folk,
I’ve had a question from someone who is planning to implement a change in clinical practice who would like to make it a better project by using QI methods.
Where’s are good places to start, and what resources would you recommend?
Thanks for your help!
Jo

I’d advise them to get in touch with their service or quality improvement team and ask them for some support.
-
Yes! They are likely to help with sharing results as well.
And if there’s not a QI team available?
-
-
My first question will be if they have any QI training to start with. If so, I will start from having a baseline measurement of specific quality (safety, effectiveness, efficiency, equity, person-centredness and sustainability) that they are trying to improve. I will then move on to appreciative enquiry with the clinical team and patients, process…Read more

Hi Jo,
They may be interested to take a look at our open access SusQI resources – https://www.susqi.org/
There is a step by step guide (4 steps – set goals, study the system, design improvement and measure impact) with resources for each section. Consideration across the sustainable value equation (clinical, financial, social and environmental…Read more-
This is a great website, thanks for sharing. Are you involved with Greener AHPs week in April? Looks like lots of crossover with what SusQI does.

Hi Jo,
Great – I’m glad it will be useful for you.
Yes my colleague Ben (Sustainable healthcare delivery lead/AHP lead) has been involved – he works closely with Jacqueline Gordon (Clinical Fellow in Sustainability, Greener NHS) – please let me know if you would like me to connect you with Ben and/or Jackie.
You may have already seen a…Read more

Hi Jo,
I will get in touch with the QI team if the hospital has one, they are very good, at least where I work there is a QI team.
Another option could be to meet with key stakeholders and find a common problem that you want to focus on and do a brainstorming with them.
Once you know what the problem is and what you want to change, it will be much…Read more-
Yes, you should say you won an award! Well done.
But clearly we are going to be interested in what you won the award for- would you like to share in a blog post? Or just tell us a bit more about it here.

Hi Jo, yes I can do that or maybe I can share a link with my project, so I don’t have to type a lot :D. 😉

Hi Jo
The registration fee is far too expensive for me – a real barrier to attendance
Jo
far too expensive – I cant even funding for travel and accommodation to free events!
