Quality improvement and leadership
This Leadership Links session focuses on quality improvement. Quality improvement is important across all areas of health and social care from safety management to the very individual experiences of care. It is vital that we all play a part. We should aim to improve these aspects on a continuous basis for all that need to use services.
As part this session, we aim to:
- Explore what quality improvement is and why we all need to be involved
- Explore a real-life example of quality improvement in nursing home practice
- Identify how you can be involved in quality improvement
