Event Overview
Quality Improvement (QI) is important within the NHS and trusts all have QI programs, but how does research and clinical academia fit in? Is there any benefit for hard pressed trusts to engage and support research if they already have QI programs? Whilst the NHS is struggling to recruit clinical mental health staff, why should they consider investing in clinical academics?
Aims and objectives of the event:
- To illustrate why a successful QI program needs research and academics, and why we can’t improve mental health care for patients without research and evidence base.
- To demonstrate how investment in research can bring financial returns and increase capacity building in trusts.
- To provide worked examples across Greater Manchester (GM).
- To understand barriers and facilitators to implementation of research findings.
- To increase understanding of research networks across GM.
If you want to hear how some trusts have supported and implemented research to improve quality of care and workforce capacity through case examples; how QI cannot be properly implemented without research; and how your trust and patients can benefit by supporting research find recordings of each presenation below.
