Practical QI learner pathway
A NES Quality Improvement learner pathway for applying QI in practice.
Introduction
Welcome!
Practical QI is for anyone who wants to gain practical experience of QI methodologies.
This pathway will support you to be able to apply quality improvement methods and tools in your workplace. As this is a practical pathway, you will need to actively contribute to a quality improvement project in your workplace.
To complete the pathway, you must complete every section, and to get the most out of the pathway we recommend that the sections are completed in order. However, you can access the eLearning modules at any time, and book onto facilitated sessions for dates and times that suit you.
To learn more about the pathway select the introductory video below.
Please note: When requested, NES will share data relating to your engagement with the learner pathways with your employing organisation to support the mapping of QI knowledge and skills in the workforce. High level anonymised engagement data will also be used for reporting purposes. For more information access the NES privacy and data protection notice.
If you are a learner from outside Scotland, you cannot currently take part in Practical QI. However, please register your interest here and we will contact you if the pathway becomes available.
Pathway structure
Practical QI is built upon the foundations of QI Essentials, and those modules form the first part of the pathway. If you have already completed the QI Essentials pathway separately you are not required to complete it again, but the modules are available if you want to refresh your learning.
The pathway is divided into three sections, each containing an eLearning module and a corresponding facilitated session:
- Systems thinking
- QI methodology
- Data and measurement
Once you have completed each section, you will attend a final presentation session, where you will share your learning and experience.
To learn more about the pathway, please download the handbook below. This provides more detail about the pathway content, expectations of participants, and booking and access.
