Thanks @joannabircher – both sound great. I’m curious about nudge theory too, and how it might be applied in the context of supporting patients to self care or choose the most appropriate service for themselves.
A showcase of work on antimicrobial resistance sounds like a good bet too. @elizabethbeech – would you be able to identify people/…Read more

Hi All – Just wanted to alert you to this Primary Care Improvement Unconference, being hosted by the NHSE/I Time for Care Team on 7th October 10-12. Sounds like it will be a great chance to be part of some important conversations – an opportunity to discuss what needs to change in primary care and how we might make this happen. Register here:…Read more

Hi everyone. If you missed Virginia’s webinar last month on ‘Joy in work’, I would highly recommend watching it back. I’ve attached a link to the recording which is on our Q primary care YouTube playlist. It’s such an important topic that impacts on recruitment, retention, wellbeing and ultimately patient care too. So I’m keen we keep this…Read more

Hi @joriamramos – welcome to Q. Thanks for reminding me about this paper. It’s an interesting read and reflects my experience of working with practices doing QI work. I would agree that audit is still the mainstay of improvement work and we still haven’t quite nailed continuous improvement in general practice. The lack of dedicated SpA time is a…Read more

You know what? I’ve been having a lot of different conversations with different sub-groups within Q that involve this same main theme of culture. Or better, Culture with a capital C, if you know what I mean.
Now here’s a difficult question: is it this box-ticking system that enables this sort of behavior, or is it a strategy to “at least get the…Read more

Thank you to everyone who joined our session yesterday on the role of QI in achieving high quality, low carbon asthma care. Such rich discussion – it was particularly good to hear of many great examples of QI work going on around the country in this area. I mentioned in the session that if attendees were keen to be part of a short project looking…Read more

Hi, is it possible to access the slides/recording if you could not attend the live session? We are working on this in my practice at the minute and would be interested to watch!

Thanks Brian – great to have access to these measures. Do you know if OpenPrescribing would still be keen to hear our ideas on what else might be worth measuring?

Always happy to hear them! feedback@openprescribing.net or twitter @openprescribing

Hi Rammya
I’d love to revisit the issue of understanding demand for GP care and if we can use ‘nudge theory’ to help people to make choices about accessing services. Also, we have some work to share on using QI to reduce the prescribing or broad spectrum antibiotics that we can share and invite others to share wat they might be doing with regare…Read more

Great idea @joannabircher and @rammya-mathew and I can easily locate improvement examples, especially as we have a national PHE AntibioticGuardian award and every November a World Antibiotic Awareness Week. This is 18-24th November 2021 and it would extra good to align any AMR related activity to that week. Very happy to support this too.

Great @elizabethbeech – I’ll direct message you to try and set this up.
