Improving care

The Royal College of Physicians Quality Improvement (RCPQI) programme aims to bring together existing quality improvement work within the RCP, as well as developing new infrastructure and approaches, to support and promote a continuously improving healthcare system.

RCPQI works with other projects across the RCP to develop QI resources, tools and methodologies, and combine these with courses, coaching and networking to support clinicians and healthcare workers in their quality improvement work.

By acting as a repository for QI work, RCPQI aims to make quality improvement easily accessible to all doctors and support physicians in developing and providing safe, timely, evidence-based, efficient and patient-centred care to achieve the RCP's strategic aim of improving quality.
