The members of this SIG will be contributing and share learning from this Q-funded project which aims to describe, support and promote ways of working developed during COVID-19 through shared learning across the network of community hospitals in the UK. This group will link members who have experience, expertise and an interest in community hospitals. In particular, members will be exploring the role of community hospitals in local health and care systems, and their contribution during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Special Interest Group will bring together members who want to explore their experiences, look at measures of quality, and discuss continual and sustainable quality improvements, and who have an aim to facilitate spread and adoption of good practice. The role of the group will widen once the study is complete.

This group is convened by Evelyn Prodger, Trish Jay and Helen Tucker.
