QI Week 2024, 9 - 13 Sept
QI is for Everyone
QI Week is dedicated to showcasing the efforts of our colleagues who continuously strive to enhance services for patients, families, carers, and staff. Through the use of innovative improvement tools and QI methodologies, they demonstrate their commitment to thinking outside the box and implementing diverse approaches to quality improvement.
The theme for QI Week 2024 is ‘QI is for Everyone.’ This theme emphasises inclusivity and highlights the connection to the NHS Impact Framework and its Five Components, ensuring that everyone plays a role in driving meaningful improvements.
What is QI Week 2024 About?
Ever thought you would like to be involved in QI but you aren't sure where to start, or you don't have any experience of QI "processes" or tools?
Well, you're probably using QI in your everyday work without realising it. Quality Improvement doesn't only have to be led by managers; some of the most impactful ideas come from those who are working directly with service users and members of our communities.
During QI Week we invite you to ask questions, engage with those who have experience of running improvement projects, and take your first step into the QI world.
