Register to join our Quality Improvement Collaboratives

We have several exciting collaboratives that your NHS trust or Health Board can now register to join.

Three of our Quality Improvement (QI) collaboratives focus on supporting healthcare teams to improve patient care in a specific clinical area of care and one project is dedicated to supporting surgeons after adverse events.

 

Registration requirements

The one-off cost per trust or health board to join the project is £7,500 (£9,000 including VAT). In addition, trusts and health boards must cover their travel and expenses to in-person meetings.  

The named project lead and data lead should have allocated time in their job plan to lead the project locally.


Deadline to apply

Registration will close on 30 June 2025.


Current Quality Improvement projects open for registration:


Close it Quick - Ileostomy Closure QI Collaborative

The NBOCA report unequivocally demonstrates that ileostomy closure rates in England and Wales need major focus and attention. This situation only worsened following the impact of the pandemic on waiting lists. Our new QI Collaborative will empower surgical care teams across England and Wales to address this and improve patient care and experience.
