The Quality Coach Development Programme is a free-to-adopt educational resource for Q members to use within their organisations or systems. It is an “off-the-shelf” product; meaning that you can focus on delivery, instead of the design and development of the content.

The resource includes slidesets, a delegate handbook, and guides for how to implement and deliver the programme, as well as other high-quality resources. The content and programme structure have been created to encourage local adaptation. We want you to bring your own expertise, coaching experiences, and personality to the programme.

In adopting the programme you will be able to upskill staff to independently coach others through quality improvement and change. This brings a broad range of possible benefits to an organisation, including improved outcomes, experience of care, staff experience and retention and a culture of continuous improvement.

Without any significant changes to the programme structure, it can be delivered over eight full-days sessions, plus a short welcome session. The slidesets have been created to facilitate an “as-easy-as-possible” adoption. Where needed there are comprehensive slide notes to support content delivery. Below you will find the powerpoint files for all sessions. You should review these prior to delivery in conjunction with the Trainer Guide (which explains how to run each session in detail) and the Handbook (which outlines theory and concepts in detail).

The materials for the programme are completely free-to-use, as long as you credit the authors. The programme has been co-designed by a group of national experts is quality improvement.

We encourage you to use all the resources for the programme collectively. For a full overview visit: https://q.health.org.uk/resource/quality-coach-development-programme/
