The NES GPST QIP training course.

The course will consist of two 90-minute online interactive tutorials. Trainees will be assigned to a cohort of around 30 trainees from across Scotland and remain in their cohort during the two tutorials. Each tutorial will cover a different aspect of QI which will support trainees as they work through their project.

Tutorial 1 will be held a few weeks after starting in the GP practice. This will allow participants some time to become familiar with the practice and generate some ideas of things they may wish to improve. This tutorial will include:

·Understanding the benefits to you of QI activity

·The Model for Improvement

·Where to get QI ideas

·Creating an aim statement

·Introduction to QI tools

Tutorial 2 will be held two- three weeks later allowing participants time to discuss their idea with their team and perform a baseline data collection. This tutorial will focus on:

·Finalising the aim statement

·Understanding which QI tools are best for which purposes

·How to implement change using PDSA cycles

·Tips for better marks in your RCGP evaluation

What is expected of me?

You will be expected to commit to attending the two sessions and apply your learning to a project in between teaching sessions. To get the best out of these workshops, please complete the work between the workshops as follows:

·Every participant will have discussed a QI idea with their ES. Please email your idea, at least a week before the second workshop, in the form of an aim statement to ;PrimarycareQI@nes.scot.nhs.uk

Some of these aim statements will be chosen for analysis at the second workshop. If your aim statement is chosen it will be discussed anonymously, unless you wish to claim authorship. You will benefit greatly from this discussion. Unless you email your aim statement at least a week in advance of workshop 2, you will not have this opportunity. Not every aim statement which is emailed will be discussed, aim statements will be chosen to maximise learning.

When can I do the course?

These tutorials can be completed during your educational sessions. Dependent on local arrangements, these tutorials could be undertaken as part of day release or you could use your third educational session. You must discuss with your practice to ensure you are able to attend. Please ensure you have a working camera with which to attend the session.

How is the course delivered?

The course will be delivered using Microsoft Teams and the tutorials will be highly interactive. Online learning like this is as effective as face-to-face teaching for building foundational skills but allows greater access and flexibility. Microsoft Teams allows lots of opportunities for you to raise a hand to join discussions, add questions in the chat box and give feedback.

What if I miss a session?

A key part of your learning is hearing from peers and sharing your ideas and the challenges you have faced. If you miss a session, you can catch up on content and find all additional resources on secure group page maintained by the NES QI Team.

What do I need to get started?

To take part in a Microsoft Teams session, all you will need is a computer or tablet with an internet connection, a working camera, and an audio connection through an active telephone line or Wifi connection
