Quality Improvement Training – Silver

Foundation Silver – Theory-based Quality Improvement Training

Designed to build confidence in QI theory, this Foundation Silver course is delivered via a pre-recorded link and is a prerequisite for QI leaders undertaking Foundation Gold.

Practical Silver – Practical Quality Improvement Training

QI training subtitled ‘learning by doing’, can be provided for teams of people from a single organisation or for a group of individuals. The course is modular and is usually delivered via two half-day virtual training sessions, which includes:

• A guided, participatory, journey through the Model for Improvement using a relatable case study (acute, mental health, learning disabilities, maternity/neonatal or primary care).
• Exploring some of the challenges doing quality improvement in health services.
• An introduction to the interface between ‘Patient Safety’, ‘Human Factors’, and Quality Improvement, and when and how to use behaviour change approaches.
• Virtual sessions paced so that participants can complete ‘homework’ which is explained in each session and usually consists of an exercise and/or video.
• A workbook and a QI Project Template to plan future quality improvement projects.
