Abstract

Quality improvement (QI) is an integral part of providing high-quality patient care. Any discussion about affordable healthcare cannot be complete without an affirmation to QI which needs to be a key priority. The resources in any health care setting including NHS are finite. In a changing medical landscape; while dealing with an increasing patient population; complex medical co-morbidities; aging population and changing patient expectations, it is vital that we strive to continually use QI to improve our services.
