Quality Improvement

Home Your Support Hub Quality Improvement

For anyone across Primary Care in Derbyshire interested in learning more about QI, how you can get involved, or to access any support you may need on your QI journey. 

Quality Improvement is relevant to all aspects of Primary Care and plays a vital role in enhancing patient care, streamlining processes, and improving outcomes. We want to support you in embedding QI into your everyday practice, making it an integral part of how we work together to deliver high-quality care.

QI is about reflecting on our current ways of working, identifying opportunities for improvement, and collaborating as a team to drive meaningful and sustainable change. Let’s work together to make a real difference in Primary Care across Derbyshire.

If you'd like to know about QI, we have created a fantastic GP QI Portal on our Training and E-Learning platform. To explore further or enrol, click here please sign in or register.

What Quality Improvement?

Quality Improvement (QI) in Derbyshire primary care offers a structured approach to evaluating and enhancing our practices in general practice. It encourages us to examine both large and small aspects of our work through a fresh perspective to identify areas for improvement.

By using a systematic, evidence-based approach, QI applies various tools and techniques to enhance patient care, improve experiences for service users and carers, and optimize outcomes. Additionally, it can streamline our internal processes, creating a more efficient working environment and freeing up valuable time to focus on patient care.
