About this event

The West of England AHSN is hosting a series of five online workshops each Friday commencing at 12:00pm from the 16 April. Free to attend, each 90-minute session is standalone so you can dip in or join them all.

Why attend?

The series will showcase the basic theory of Quality Improvement (QI) and help attendees apply learning to their roles in primary care and connect with colleagues.

Led by the AHSN’s Academy team alongside guest speakers, topics will include stakeholder mapping, process mapping, data management and the basics for change management.

Each workshop will be interactive, so you can apply learning in real-world scenarios. If you encounter challenges, and want to consider how these can be tackled, these sessions will help.

The workshops will be interactive with activities in Zoom breakout rooms . You’ll have opportunity to connect with colleagues and learn from each other.
