I work in a inner city hospital.  My introduction to quality improvement was through the Scottish Patient Safety Programme http://www.scottishpatientsafetyprogramme.scot.nhs.uk/. I was in cohort 1 of the SPSP Fellowship http://www.qihub.scot.nhs.uk/education-and-learning/scottish-quality-and-safety-fellowship.aspx.  I now coach and teach on this programme.

Some of the local quality improvement work I have been involved with has been published:

In the intervening time, I was a Health Foundation Quality Improvement Fellow http://www.health.org.uk/programmes/quality-improvement-fellowships/projects/malcolm-daniel-quality-improvement-fellow and spent a year at IHI.  We have just completed a Health Foundation SHINE 2014 grant prototyping a follow up service for ICU patients that helps them get back to health http://www.health.org.uk/programmes/shine-2014/projects/supporting-and-promoting-independence-and-return-employment-after.

The SHINE 2014 work won The BMJ Awards 2016 Innovation into Practice Team of the Year category http://static.www.bmj.com/sites/health/files/attachments/resources/2016/05/Awards_2016_brochure.pdf.   The other general QI work we have done in the ICU was a runner-up in The BMJ Awards 2016 Anaesthesia Team of the Year category.

Our SHINE 2014 work has been selected to be part of the Health Foundation's Scaling Up Improvement programme http://www.health.org.uk/news/seven-teams-selected-scale-health-care-improvement.

I'm happy to help others in the Q Initiative and beyond build the conditions to enable quality improvement to happen in the real world.   I am Medical Lead for Quality Improvement in the North Sector of NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.
