Staff engagement, collaborative working and QI training in healthcare

Staff engagement and collaborative working in healthcare can really make a positive difference to patient outcomes. Good communication plays a big part in the success of a QI project by fostering teamwork and helping build an empowered team, just like the training for QI which also plays a vital role in this process.
