Our Annual Safety, Quality and Experience Programme takes place over eight months in which
participants undertake a Quality Improvement (QI) Project using a structured approach based on the
IHI Model for Improvement.
The Model is pragmatic and orientated towards experiential learning as it addresses 3 key
improvement questions associated with setting aims, establishing measures and selecting changes.
Chosen changes are tested on a small scale using PDSA (Plan, Do, Study, Act) cycles.
92 staff completed the programme this year with 44 projects being undertaken. This year external
participants from the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service and NIPEC completed the programme.
In June 2018 the SQE final event attracted over 100 participants, mentors, guests and staff
were 9 project finalists each gave a 10 minute presentation on their QI project.
The winning and runner up projects at the event voted for by the audience were:
