Schedule

The ELFT Improvement Leaders’ Programme (ILP) course includes 8 face to face training days. The dates and structure of the course are listed below.

Important next steps for ILP delegates between November and December:

  • Update your aim, measures and change ideas/driver diagram on QI Life following the 3 day workshop (if you have not already done so).
  • If you have measures (and baseline data in place) get started with running your first PDSAs.
  • If you don’t have baseline data, collect this first before starting with PDSAs, so you are able to understand the impact of your tests.
  • Regularly meet with your QI coach and project team.
