Quality Improvement is relevant to all aspects of Primary Care and plays a vital role in enhancing patient care, streamlining processes, and improving outcomes. We want to support you in embedding QI into your everyday practice, making it an integral part of how we work together to deliver high-quality care.
What Quality Improvement?
Quality Improvement (QI) in Derbyshire primary care offers a structured approach to evaluating and enhancing our practices in general practice. It encourages us to examine both large and small aspects of our work through a fresh perspective to identify areas for improvement.
By using a systematic, evidence-based approach, QI applies various tools and techniques to enhance patient care, improve experiences for service users and carers, and optimize outcomes. Additionally, it can streamline our internal processes, creating a more efficient working environment and freeing up valuable time to focus on patient care.
Quality Improvement is something we can all play a part in…
If you’ve spotted a problem or have an idea about how we can make things better.
Please TALK to someone about it! It’s ok to ask for some TIME to investigate it.
Get others on board and create a TEAM to find a solution together.
If you'd like to know more, need to access some training or want to see what resources we have for you please check out our GP Quality Improvement Portal on our Training and E-Learning platform. To explore further and enrol, please click here you will need to sign in or register.
