QI Bitesize Sessions

QI Bite is an interactive two hour course, which gives participants a quick and basic understanding of quality improvement (QI).The sessions are delivered via MS Teams to provide you with an introduction of Quality Improvement and methodology. These taster sessions aim to provide staff with an overview of the QI skills, knowledge and methodology to understand their system, identify quality improvement opportunities and measure progress and outcomes.
