RCP QI Hub – supporting teams to improve care for people with diabetes when in hospital

March - October 2018

Various locations across the UK and online webinars.

The Royal College of Physicians’ QI Hub, in conjunction with Diabetes UK, will be running a rescheduled quality improvement collaborative for clinicians and their teams working in inpatient diabetes.

Physicians and their teams will be supported to implement improvements in the delivery of care for people with diabetes when in hospital, using an evidence-based approach based on the Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s ‘Breakthrough Series’ model. They will join with other teams at the learning sessions to share practice and will be updated in methods of implementing and sustaining change for measurable improvements in care. They will receive coaching support in action periods between the sessions.

Who should attend?

People who want to improve care for patients and are motivated to achieve this using improvement techniques and incremental change.

This collaborative is designed for teams of three or four. It is recommend that teams should consist of at least one physician, one manager, and one other healthcare professional or, if possible, include a patient as a member of your team. (Teams may include more than four people working on the project in the Trust, but four places per team is the maximum available for the learning sessions. If a team member is unable to make a given learning session then another member of the team may take up their place)

What teams need to do?

  • Teams should have identified one area of care within their service where national benchmarked data shows the need for improvement.
  • Attendees need to plan to come as a team for the entire course (more information on dates and locations below).
  • Teams must be committed to meet fortnightly, at a minimum, to progress their project during the improvement collaborative.
