18 April 2023
The fifth series of our free educational QI Boxset is now available, focusing on the importance of embedding Quality Improvement tools within your practice and how they can help improve communication and teamwork, clinical outcomes and avoid errors to increase patient safety.
Series five of our QI Boxset, Using QI tools for patient safety – checklists and more, focuses on the importance of patient safety tools, such as checklists, and how implementing them into your practice can improve communication and teamwork for better patient outcomes.
Incorporating checklists into your practice helps team members to remember critical steps, benefitting clinical and non-clinical workflow.
Pam Mosedale, RCVS Knowledge’s QI Clinical Lead, said: ‘I am really excited about the launch of the patient safety tools series of the QI boxset.
“Users can access a whole range of free resources to help with improving patient safety - a Checklist CPD course, templates and examples, a Surgical Safety Checklist Manual, podcasts on care bundles, real stories about implementing and using checklists and information about checklists as a communication tool. These resources are there to help teams reduce errors and improve the safety of their patients.”
Quality Improvement (QI) is designed to improve care and outcomes for our patients and increase learning for the practice team. It improves safety, effectiveness, efficiency, and the experience of working in the veterinary profession for team members.
Our QI Boxset offers a bitesize, free and easily accessible resource to embed QI into your practice and provide CPD for all team members. The multimedia course includes podcasts, webinars, reading material, templates and walkthroughs.
Previous QI Boxsets have covered guidelines, clinical audits, benchmarking and putting a Quality Improvement structure into practice.
Available to the whole veterinary practice team, the QI Boxset is completely free and is accessible on RCVS Knowledge Learn
