The Improvement Toolkit is for staff who work in healthcare, leading teams/directorates/departments involved in culture and/or quality improvement work.
It is split into two main sections:
Culture: This section aims to share with you practical ways you can evaluate the culture in your team and the steps you can take to make and sustain improvements
Quality Improvement: This section provides you with an approach to help you improve quality, measure its success, and ensure improvements are sustained
Both sections are supported by an additional section which shares some useful quality improvement tools and techniques which you may wish to use when looking at culture and/or quality improvement work.
The following documents are referenced in the toolkit: You can find the full Improvement Toolkit here
