On the 20 th of March 2024 the Quality Improvement (QI) Service proudly hosted and celebrated the achievements of our outstanding graduates from Cohort 18 of the QI Facilitators Programme. This is a 9-month programme of learning whilst attendees carried out a QI project within their respective services. Each attendee had their own allocated Improvement Advisor to support them through the process of a QI project.  

The projects showcased were of exceptional quality, addressing various service-related challenges and resulting in enhanced processes, resource savings, and optimised care. You can view the project posters here:
