Step 2 – Share your idea

Share your idea with a QI Sponsor or Coach and take to a QI Forum

After some of this initial thinking you should discuss your project idea with a QI Coach or Sponsor. At this point Coaches and Sponsors can help you decide if your project idea fits with local Directorate priorities and what components you will need in place for a successful project. They will also help you prepare the project idea for your local QI Forum where QI project approval is given.

QI Forums happen every month in all Trust Directorates, they are an opportunity for Project Leads, Coaches, Sponsors, Clinical and Service Directors and Service Users and Carers to come together and support local QI work and decide on priorities for improvement in the Directorate.

If your project is given the go ahead at the Forum, you will be allocated a QI Coach and Sponsor who will be there to support you for the lifetime of your project. To find out more about QI Coaches and who they are across each Directorate click here>>
