is something we can all play a part in

Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust

Welcome to our quality improvement (QI) website

Information here is for our colleagues, our partner organisations, service users and patients who are interested in learning more about QI, want to know how they can get involved, or need support on their QI journey.

QI is about looking at what we are doing, seeing if we could do it better and bringing everyone together to redesign the way care is provided. It is about making change happen.
