Six of our DHU Healthcare colleagues have completed their Quality Service Improvement and Redesign (QSIR) training to become QSIR Practitioners.
QSIR is an in-depth course, tailor made to empowering colleagues to develop improvement in their own organisations through innovation, encouragement and learning. Our colleagues underwent the six-week course at Chesterfield Royal Hospital who provided the training and expertise to showcase another wonderful example of Derbyshire-wide health partnership working.
Dr Jo Finney is DHU’s Head of Clinical Audit and Quality Improvement, she said: “We’re always looking at how we can use the expertise, knowledge and experience of our people to help make improvements to our services and for our patients. They know the services inside out and the QSIR course is designed to help encourage our people to recognise that and use it to make positive change.
“I’m a firm believer that as health organisations we work better together and I would like to thank the team at Chesterfield Royal Hospital for putting on this course for us. We all have the same goal in mind, the provision of quality, compassionate care to patients and their families so to be able to learn from each other with a view to aligning it all to the NHS Long Term Plan is very encouraging.”
The next step will see our QSIR Practitioners working with their colleagues to help identify and implement quality improvement initiatives and draw on our collective experiences, alongside patient and staff feedback, to help make that happen.
Our new QSIR Practitioners are LLR Clinical Service Lead Martin Reeves, LLR ECP Pritesh Chohan, Chesterfield Royal Hospital UTC Clinical Service Lead Rachel Revill, Research Assistant Claire Nesbeth, UTC ANP Nancy Loveridge UTC ANP and Head of Clinical Audit and Quality Improvement Dr Jo Finney)
