Showcasing Quality Improvement Projects
This year we ran an additional year of the New to Practice Programme, for those wishing to opt into a second year-long commitment to undertake a Quality Improvement Project.
The programme was jointly led by the Training Hub New to Practice Programme Team and NHS Elect who are Quality Improvement Experts.
We held a celebration event on Thursday 7th November 2024 at the Village Hotel in Maidstone, where members of the ICB, Training Hub and the new NTPP Quality Improvement Project intake were in attendance to hear and explore the very high-quality work that has taken place over the last year.
The Quality Improvement Posters are linked below. If you would like any further information on the work undertaken, please contact the respective poster owner or the kmicb.kmpcth@nhs.net for further information.
I cannot thank the team enough for the amazing programme you have put in place for us. I can confirm this is improving my current practice as well as giving me a chance to consider more opportunities.
