We would like to encourage anyone with a QI project idea no matter how small and in whatever area to come along to one of our meetings to discuss it and share ideas. Please email marissaminns@nhs.net if you would like further information.
There are a number of large scale quality improvement opportunities taking place at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. These include:
• Reducing inpatient falls
• Reducing cardiac arrest calls
• Reducing pressure ulcers
• Reducing harm from Acute Kidney Injury – andrew.lewington@nhs.net
• Reducing harm from sepsis – stuart.nuttall@nhs.net
• Scale up and spread of safety huddles
If you are interested in participating in one of these projects, please contact the named person above or anna.winfield@nhs.net
In addition, you may have your own ideas for quality improvement projects. It is worth spending some time learning about the basics of quality improvement, if your experience is limited, then the links on the further resources page may be of interest. If you would like some further advice on how to get started with quality improvement, or have questions then please contact sean.ninan@nhs.net, anna.winfield@nhs.net or a.cracknell@nhs.net.
