The NHS is facing significant financial and operational pressures, with services struggling to maintain standards of care. Hence, now more than ever, local and national NHS leaders need to focus on improving quality and delivering better-value care.
All NHS organisations should be focused on continually improving quality of care for people using their services. This includes improving the safety, effectiveness and experience of care. (From Kings Fund publication “Making the case for Quality Improvement”)
The Quality Improvement (QI) Awards are an opportunity for all staff at Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust to showcase their work in QI projects, audits, surveys, review of service, simulation and medical education.
We have organised the next QI Awards event to be held in July 2021 in a virtual format. The details about submission of your projects are available from the menu above.
The Inaugural QI Awards 2019 event was held on 3rd July 2019 in Walsall Manor Hospital’s Manor Learning and Conference Centre. The annual Medical Education Awards were also presented at this meeting.
