Our AHP Quality Improvement Steering Group is chaired by Nikki Munro and our purpose is:
“to provide a strategic, co-ordinated, and multidisciplinary approach to ensure all AHPs in NHSGGC are able to use QI tools and theory in routine practice.”
We hope this page will help anyone who wants to know more about Quality Improvement methodology, and how to use this in routine practice. Further information, resources and contact details for profession specific QI Leads can be found in the NHSGGC AHP Quality Improvement Sharepoint page.
If you have any questions on the NHSGGC AHP Quality Improvement workstream please email Nikki at nikki.munro@nhs.scot.
Quality Improvement Learning
Are you interested in developing QI knowledge? We recommend you start learnpro module (109) Quality Improvement Fundamentals which will give you an awareness and basic understanding of the importance, methods and successes of Quality Improvement in NHS GGC.
There are also a suite of learner pathways by NES on TURAS:
- Kickstart QI – to give everyone an introduction to Quality Improvement
- QI Essentials – to provide knowledge of core quality improvement methods and tools
- Practical QI – to provide the opportunity to practise using QI tools, frameworks and methodologies in the workplace
- Managing QI – to enable managers and team leaders to create and sustain the conditions for improvement
Quality Improvement Training
There are also formal courses run by the clinical effectiveness team at NHSGGC and by NES. These can be great at learning with others and gaining practical QI skills along the way.
Quality Improvement training provides learning and development opportunities to build skills, knowledge and confidence to use QI methodology to deliver better care, services and outcomes for staff working across NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.
QI training is available to staff in any role, working as part of NHSGGC, including those working within Health and Social Care Partnerships (HSCPs), third sector, volunteer sector as well as others who support the delivery of quality care for patients.
