Quality Improvement (QI) week is an annual celebration of the power of QI and the brilliant work happening across NHS providers. It is a chance to learn from each other, be inspired, and connect with others who are passionate about making things better.

During the week each collaborating organisation runs a programme of local events or promotional activities, which are supported by a national programme of online events based on the theme for that particular year.

In Dorset, Dorset County Hospital, Dorset HealthCare and NHS Dorset are recognised collaborators of QI week.
