Q Exchange offers Q members the chance to develop project ideas and submit bids for up to £40,000 of funding.

The theme for Q Exchange this year is How can improvement be used to reduce delays accessing health and care services?

Funding is available for proposals that reduce delays sustainably and equitably, focusing on one or more of the following areas:

  • Redesigning care to best use the time and skills of those using and providing services
  • Understanding and improving how different parts of the system work together to meet patient/service user needs in accessing services
  • Improving the way waiting lists are prioritised and managed and supporting patients to wait better
  • Empowering and engaging the workforce to collaborate and use improvement methods in reducing waits

Project teams must be led by a Q member for the duration of the project but can involve people who are not yet part of the community.

The idea generation platform opens on Tuesday 14 February 2023 and further information is available at Q Exchange | Q Community (health.org.uk)
