Quality Improvement Academy - Prospectus 2019/20

The Health Foundation

The Health Foundation https://www.health.org.uk/ is a charity who works to improve the quality of

health care in the UK today. The Health Foundation has published their learning report, 'How five

UK Trusts build quality improvement capability at scale within their organisations'. The Trust was

selected to be part of a Health Foundation Study looking at how Trusts across the UK have looked

to build staff expertise in quality improvement and capability building.

- How five UK trusts built quality improvement capability at scale

within their organisations.

The Health Foundation has produced five short films celebrating successful innovative projects in

health and social care across the UK. The aim of the films is to capture the imagination of other

health and social care workers, to hopefully inspire them to innovate and to also showcase the films

to a wider, general public.

The short film (4-5 mins) tells the story of the SQE Programme at the South Eastern Health & Social

Care Trust. It is a film that celebrates the creativity and problem-solving capability of front line staff,

demonstrates how those innovations help the safety and quality of patient experience, and delivers

an important message - the significance of managers engendering a culture which allows those

ideas to flourish and develop. The tone of the film is upbeat and authentic - capturing the reality of

the working lives of those in it.

The film has been primarily published on the website of The Health Foundation. It is also available

on the internet with the intention of raising awareness of the SQE Programme as widely as

possible.
