Welcome to our Quality Improvement Library! On these pages we have descriptions of popular Quality Improvement (QI) tools and concepts, along with links to recommended resources and downloadable templates for you to use.
Quality Improvement (QI) is not just a method or model, but more an approach to personal or organisation learning, development and improvement. Find out more about quality improvement.
Alongside this online toolkit, access our step-by-step QI workbook. This will help you carry out and sustain changes that enhance patient safety and improvements in your area of work/innovation. You can also watch our ‘on demand’ QI webinars and access accompanying resources to support your QI journey.
