Quality Improvement Support for Primary Care
We support primary care in different ways, including supporting places for Cluster Quality Leads on quality improvement (QI) training course and providing ad hoc support to primary care services through the Primary Care Quality Improvement Faculty (PCQIF).
This complements the quality improvement skills developed through the participation in collaboratives on specific topics such as the Practice Administrative Staff Staff Collaborative and the Pharmacotherapy Level 1 Services Collaborative.
Potential benefits
- Increased improvement and leadership capacity and capability to support improvement of primary care services and outcomes.
What we do?
In 2020-21 we plan to sponsor and support 3 Cluster Quality Leads to complete the Scottish Quality and Safety Fellowship. These cluster quality leads will become part of the Primary Care Improvement Faculty.
