Topic based learning resources

Add to favourites

QUARTETS are a topic based learning resource that have been developed by NES for use by any Quality Improvement team to support and guide them through a Quality Improvement project. They provide suggestions for project ideas and suggest QI tools which would be helpful at different stages throughout the project from Agreement & Aims to Communication & Collaboration.

They also provide links to current guidelines relevant to the topic, and to data sources.

Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) Prevention

This Cardiovascular Disease Quartet, is a practical Quality Improvement (QI) resource designed to support GP practices, Quality Clusters and multidisciplinary teams in improving the prevention and management of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Scotland. It guides teams through a structured four-stage improvement process: agreeing priorities, understanding current challenges, implementing and measuring changes, and communicating results.

The resource provides evidence-based project ideas, QI tools such as fishbone analysis, driver diagrams and PDSA cycles, and promotes a whole-system approach that addresses prevention, health inequalities and service improvement.

Its overall aim is to help teams deliver measurable improvements in cardiovascular health outcomes while reducing unwarranted variation and improving care for populations at greatest risk.
