Do you need to write a marketing plan for your NHS service and don't know where to start?
This
online course complements our one day course we run every March and
September with a Chartered Institute of Marketing tutor. We
will use quizzes, videos and exercises. If you complete each section,
you will be writing your marketing plan as you go along.
You can also ask us questions and request feedback on what you have written at each section.
This guide will help you work through the seven steps to measurement for improvement, and allow you to apply these principles to your own improvement projects.
The seven steps were designed to provide a structure through which you can effectively use measurement to drive improvement. Measurement is an essential part of any quality improvement project, as it allows us to know whether our changes are resulting in improvements.
This introduction to quality improvement (QI) will provide you with
the fundamentals of QI so that you can begin to consider improvements
in your area for the benefit of service users and staff.
This course contains six modules, as well as a short multiple choice quiz to test your learning:
Module 1: Introduction and Model for Improvement
Module 2: Setting your aim
Module 3: Measuring changes
Module 4: Identifying potential changes
Module 5: Testing changes
Module 6: Involving service users
A 6 module course exploring the Model for Improvement and how we can apply it in healthcare.
