About the Quality Innovation Team

The Provider Quality Innovation team looks at themes and trends across the care sector to identify common areas where care services may be experiencing difficulties or find it challenging to meet quality standards and whole system issues.

We look to find innovative ways to provide support, using best practice examples, linking with national initiatives and working in partnership with care providers, Integrated Care Boards (ICB), CQC, Community Health providers, local colleges and Hospices.

Every 2 months the team produces the  Quality Innovation Newsletter to keep you informed of latest news and future activity.
