We are pleased to share the success of the recent Quality Improvement (QI) Learning & Sharing event, which took place at the Jane Atkinson Health and Wellbeing Centre last week.  

On the 20^{th of} March 2024 the Quality Improvement Service were privileged to host and celebrate the project work undertaken by our fabulous graduates who had just completed Cohort 16 of the QI Facilitators Programme...(click to read more about the projects completed).

The NELFT Quality Improvement Team have been working closely together with the Adult Speech and Language Therapy Team on an innovative co-produced approach to explore where areas of improvement might be needed within the service, with the aim of creating a service that truly is patient led.

The QI team have facilitated many away day’s this year across NELFT and received feedback in how useful application of QI methodology has been. Team feedback highlights tangible benefits, including clear structure, differentiation between controllable issues and broader input, interactive tools, practical examples, and the establishment of a safe space for communication. 

Madiha Shaikh, a Consultant Clinical Psychologist in Critical Care Psychology at King George & Queens Hospitals, delivered a project as part of the QI Facilitator Cohort 14 on non-pharmacological methods to prevent and manage delirium.

Katie Lidington, who serves as the Service User Engagement Lead at Havering Integrated Children's Services, has proactively undertaken the recruitment and active involvement of six young people in a recent Quality Improvement (QI) project.
