£600,000 total funding available from the Health Foundation and NHSE&I, with up to £30,000 for each project
Exchange
Have you got a great idea that you’d like to get £30,000 of funding for?
Q Exchange is Q’s £600,000 funding programme. Funded by the Health Foundation and NHS England and NHS Improvement, it offers Q members the chance to develop project ideas and submit bids for up to £30,000 of funding.
Applicants will had the opportunity to refine and develop their ideas with the help of the Q community through a collaborative online process.
This year we sought project ideas on the theme ‘Embedding positive changes emerging through new collaborations or partnerships during COVID-19.’
In response to the exceptional circumstances the health and care system is facing, we reassessed how Q Exchange could best support the Q community and the system at this time. We have therefore taken the decision to award funding to all 30 of the shortlisted Q Exchange 2020 projects.
30 teams with collaboratively developed ideas, shortlisted for the Q community online vote
Q community members will vote online to decide which projects will receive funding
The Big Idea
Q Exchange aims to activate the knowledge of improvement experts across the UK; to create links between those leading work and those who can help champion, support, adopt these ideas; and to boost ideas that have the best potential to generate value for the health and care system.
Collective wisdom
Involve people who understand improvement to develop and select projects. Support all involved to learn from evidence, emerging ideas, and each other
Community
Create links between those leading work and others who champion, support, help adopt it
Impact
Boost ideas judged to have the best potential to generate insight and value for patients, staff, and the health and care system

Hi. I have had my head buried in COVID vaccinations but i have eventually got round to reading all the winners and this brightened up my day. Specials is literally my speciality and i am very interested to see how you are going about this and what i can do to support my local area albeit on a much smaller and simpler scale to what you are doing- like many of us we just don’t have capacity. I am happy to input if you need someone with a primary care hat who has been through struggles of specials and can give insight on the problems we have had.

Dear Team, As one of the team members in this project I would like to invite ideas/help around creating a parent engagement interview or focus group to explore parental expectations in their journey and how our current system failed to meet their expectations. Additionally we hope to learn from positive practice gathered from the differing experience so we can embed positive practice in our processes of care through this project.
