Ensuring that our services are safe, responsive and provide quality care is really important.

The best way for us to do this is by continually making improvements.

That means working alongside service users, staff, carers, families and members of the public to identify areas where we can make changes that will benefit everyone.

Our dedicated Quality Improvement Team lead on our work in this area and use the Microsystems improvement methodology to empower staff to make changes, and involve service users and carers in making those decisions.

How you can get involved

The Quality Improvement Team are always looking for service users, carers, families and members of the public to get involved in quality improvement projects.
