About
We are developing a community for clinicians at different professional stages, from people with extensive experience in the area to those just starting out in their career who are interested in building skills. We aim to create a safe space where ideas, methodologies and learnings can be shared in an engaging way, through regional face to face events, online drop ins and trust visits.
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.

The benefits of being a member
Forming connections:
As well as meeting like minded people with a shared interest in innovation and improvement, there will also be the opportunity to gain 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
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 the opportunity to feature your work on Medical Care – driving change
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
