At UH Bristol, quality and improving quality is everyone's business. All staff have a role in ensuring the Trust delivers its quality aims.

These Quality Improvement (QI) programmes aim to promote and encourage innovation and improvement within the Trust so that staff with good ideas can bring them to life; benefitting patients, staff, the Trust and the wider NHS. 

The QI Hub was launched in November 2017 as a place where staff with ideas can come to seek support and guidance to bring their idea to life. The QI Project Database is also here, where staff can explore the QI work that is currently happening across the Trust.

Established in April 2017, the QI Academy provides QI training to members of staff who are interested in making positive changes in their workplace. The academy focuses on teaching staff how to implement improvement ideas through practical workshops, toolkits and mentorship from the Trust's improvement coaches.

The first QI Forum took place in July 2017. The inaugural event showcased 68 posters of improvement work that were taking place from across the Trust.

The QI Resources database is a collection of templates, guides and links to all UH Bristol's QI documents and other relevant resources to QI and change management.
