About this group

The Community Hospitals: sharing good practice Special Interest Group (SIG) has a focus on sharing good practice and networking.  The SIG brings together members who want to explore their experiences, look at measures of quality, discuss continual and sustainable quality improvements, and who have an aim to facilitate spread and adoption of good practice.

Members of the SIG are able to:

  • Access learning events
  • Develop new networks
  • Generate practice based and quality improvement discussions
  • Learn from the experiences of others
  • Promote the value of the SIG and how it can be applied to the wider health and social care system
  • Share quality improvement and service development initiatives

The Community Hospitals Special Interest Group within the Q Community is managed by the Community Hospitals Association.

The SIG was developed as part of our CHA Project ‘Community Hospitals: Embedding COVID-19 positive impact changes through shared learning’ supported through Q Exchange.  The CHA is supported to develop this SIG through support from Q Connections.

This group is convened by Evelyn Prodger and Helen Tucker.

Adapting the hospital passport for patients with dementia

Carol Dale • 10 May 2024 • 1 comment

Many of us will be familiar with the use of hospital passports for those with learning disabilities. At a care home in Scotland, a student nurse has come up with a way of adapting hospital passports more widely to encourage a holistic, person-centred approach for those living with dementia. Carol Dale tells us about this development and the impact it is having on improving system flow across care settings.
