Are you interested in making a difference to healthcare and helping to improve it? Then this is the society for you. We are QI Society: an IHI Open School Chapter at Leicester University. We are open to students from any healthcare discipline and any year, as we aim to create multidisciplinary relationships.
​
What we can offer you:

• Host talks from staff at UHL trusts about Quality Improvement studies and how to get involved
• Raise Awareness about this area of healthcare
• Run teaching sessions to train people to safe levels of competency to get involved with QI projects
• We are exploring opportunities to get involved with QI projects at UHL hospitals, aiming to improve healthcare

Teaching Sessions

In order to equip people with the sufficient skills required for Quality Improvement projects, we will be running teaching sessions.  Similarly to the Medical School Curriculum, we will be running lectures, which will have accompanying workbook notes, as well as group work questions to supplement your learning. Our material is based of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement's (IHI) Online courses, so by the end of our teaching you will be eligible for a Basic Certificate in Quality & Safety from the IHI.

We are currently investigating opportunities to get involved with QI projects at UHL hospitals and once you have completed our teaching course, you will be eligible to get involved and work towards improving healthcare.
