What We Can Offer/Development Opportunities:
At the Royal Edinburgh Hospital we are committed to improving the safety and quality of services for patients and their families. We also support staff to improve their own working lives and to find joy and satisfaction in providing care.
We have an energetic and enthusiastic Quality Improvement team who are available to help teams and individuals to develop improvement ideas and to turn those ideas into successful projects. We provide training and coaching to staff to do this.
We have listened to staff feedback and developed a clear plan for the years ahead with a focus on 3 key areas:
1. Improving access to assessment and evidence-based treatment with the most appropriate service in the most appropriate setting
2. Improving the quality of mental and physical healthcare
3. Ensuring that transitions of care between services are safe, efficient and effective.
