We are hosting a free three day online Quality Improvement (QI) Conference for up to 500 staff from health and care partners across South West London.
This conference is being support by Q, a community of thousands of people across the UK and Ireland, collaborating to improve the safety and quality of health and care. Q is delivered by the Health Foundation and supported and co-funded by partners across the UK and Ireland. Find out more on the Q website.

Aims
This conference will facilitate regional learning from quality improvement programmes and projects that target the priorities of the model health system and patient safety. It will also support candidates to learn, connect and collaborate through an interactive virtual platform.
NHS England’s Model Health System data highlights significant opportunities within South West London to improve productivity, efficiency, effectiveness, safety and quality of care.
Our QI Conference will further facilitate networking and collaboration for our health and care partners. Attendees will also be able to:
- Model successes.
- Share learning and experiences.
- Facilitate system-wide spread of best practices.
- Prevent unnecessary duplication of quality improvement projects.
