This week, we celebrated the fantastic projects undertaken by our recent graduates from the Quality Improvement (QI) Facilitator Programme. This interactive training uses a mixture of learning styles including activities, theory and ‘learning sets’ to help individuals in leading their own project.

The quality of the projects was exceptional, showcasing the remarkable hard work, dedication, and progress the graduates achieved throughout this journey. Since January 24th, through five intensive training days, one valuable practice session, and countless shared moments, they demonstrated a commitment to learning, growth, and quality improvement that has inspired us all.
