Royal College of Physicians are launching the ‘RCP Improvement and Innovation Community and we’re keen for you to be part of it.
We are looking at developing a new clinically led improvement offer to implement and deliver quality improvement projects in NHS Trusts and systems across the UK. We would like this community to help us shape what this could look like.
Join our webinars to learn more:
30th January 2025
6th February 2025
Our Vision
- To empower, support and connect clinicians across the UK and globally to implement high impact quality improvement that delivers safe, effective, personalised, and quality care for patients.
- Use our influence, taking a cross-specialty pathway approach to advocate for the development and enhancement of services that promote the prevention of ill health and the highest standards of patient safety and care.
- Inspire and energise clinicians behind an evidence-based, data driven and highly collaborative approach to quality improvement and innovation by amplifying and disseminating best practice and connecting clinicians across the multi-disciplinary team to learn from each other to scale and spread best practice.
- Deliver ‘implementation’ propositions in which the RCP Improvement and Innovation Community members can support project delivery as experts: clinical engagement/innovation/co-design, outpatient redesign, digital health, care pathway redesign, inpatient care and flow, patient safety, medical workforce and continuous quality improvement.
Take the learnings from our RCP members, fellows, staff and associates and provide a platform to ‘scale and spread’ implementation of that learning to the benefit of the NHS nationally.
The benefits of being a member of the ‘RCP Improvement and Innovation Community’ will include:
Engaging in improvement projects:
The opportunity to be a key expert in one of our improvement projects and thus being able to spread the learning from projects you have delivered successfully in your organisation to other NHS Trusts and systems across the UK. Work with other health providers and systems enabling you to see and learn from others and bring that back to your local specialty/organisation
Forming connections:
Exposure to senior leaders within the RCP, within NHSE and our Board level clients in providers and systems and the opportunity to be part of and learn from our partnership ecosystem (network of NHS and private sector businesses, individuals and resources that work together to create value and drive innovation).
Showcasing your work:
Opportunity to showcase your clinical improvement work across the UK as part of our projects, workshops, roundtables and summits, as well as our Excellence in Patient Care Awards and ‘Medical Care – driving change’.
