For Q Exchange in 2022, funding of £800,000 was allocated for the programme. Delivered by Q and jointly funded by the Health Foundation and the NHS, in partnership for digital health and care, it offered Q members the chance to develop project ideas and submit bids for up to £40,000 of funding.
Applicants had the opportunity to refine and develop their ideas with the help of the Q community through a collaborative online process.
This year we were seeking project ideas on the theme ‘Bringing together the worlds and methods of improvement and digital, to enable better outcomes and faster, more sustainable change’.

Hi Sygal and Matthew Many thanks for your comments. I believe, a large piece of organisational development and culture work required alongside the analytical work 100% agree with you and I think this work will be the first part of this process of encouraging all sites to look at how data is used and what the communication enablers and barriers are at operational levels.

Congratulations on the funding - I'll be following your work with interest. Sarah, in your comment you said you were hoping to do something similar. Our current insight project is exploring use of data to address issues of inequalities and backlogs. We're running action learning sets for members to enable individual and collective learning and to progress current work in this space, while also sharing insights and learning with others. Find out more about the project here or email me for more info joanna.scott@health.org.uk-

Hello and thank you for your comment Alan. We have as part of our core project team people with a learning disability and have access to a network of community partners with physical disabilities, mental ill health and long term conditions as well as those that support them. You may be interested to have a look at our approach to working with local communities - our aim is to be as inclusive as possible. https://www.solent.nhs.uk/media/3376/alongside-communities-final-september-2020.pdf
