Improve ONE thing: Emergency Medicine – is an innovative course designed for Emergency Medicine professionals in the East of England who want to complete a Quality Improvement Project (QIP). It provides a structure that can be used to drive improvements for a lifetime of practice.
Working alongside each other QIClearn will support you to design, test and implement meaningful improvements in 18 weeks. The Improve ONE thing ethos is about providing the right balance of theory and practice. So, we focus on the practical elements of improvement science and how improvement works on the ground in your healthcare context.
This approach is delivered online and is designed to be ‘bite-sized’ and manageable for busy professionals. Our instructors will support you to identify and describe a problem that you would like to work on, practice using quality improvement tools and techniques, implement small cycles of change and measure whether your changes have made a difference to patient care.
Your work will be supported by mentors who drawn from your NHS organisations with experience in using quality improvement methods in emergency services. Their personal expertise is also invaluable to the long-term sustainability of your improvements.
The emphasis of this course is on PRACTICAL activity and you will have support in the following areas:
Designing your improvement project
Understanding and practicing the QI techniques relevant to your improvement project
Implementing the Model for Improvement and PDSA cycles
Measurement for improvement: understanding how and deciding what to measure so that you know your improvement has made a difference
Creating quality improvement project (QIP) posters
Submitting abstracts for national and international conferences and presenting posters
This programme is open to Emergency Medicine trainees, SAS doctors, consultants, nurses, pharmacists, allied health professionals, parents & carers from across the East of England.
FREE places are available for patients and carers who have experience of emergency services and an interest in contributing to Quality Improvement through their participation in this programme.
Anyone who wants to start to explore or deepen their knowledge of using improvement science as a change method to enhance services.
Anyone who wants to grow their confidence to mentor others participating in QI.
Completion of this programme is aligned to the Royal College of Emergency Medicine’s EMFP Pilot Curriculum for Quality Improvement and requirements of the new nurse training curriculum. It is accredited by CPD for 30 hours and can be included as evidence of Quality Improvement for portfolio development, accreditation and revalidation.
