WGH Essentials of QI workshop - January 2020

RHCYP Essentials of QI programme is a one hour or half day training which aims to introduce you to the fundamental principles, methods and tools of quality improvement (QI).

The programme is designed for people beginning their experiences with QI. Participants may have been a part of a QI project team or this may be the first QI experience they have.
