SAS QI Fellowship - Working across Wessex

This 12-month fellowship supports Staff and Associate Specialist (SAS) doctors to undertake a quality improvement project in their own organisation.

Joint learning in leadership and quality improvement methodology is utilised on the programme via education days. Masterclass sessions also give the opportunity to learn with fellows from other Wessex programmes. Masterclasses include sessions on Data and Measurement, Person Centred Improvement, and Apple Technology and Healthcare, with a visit to Apple HQ. Celebration close events allow fellows to share their work, which they are also encouraged to publish and share at other events and conferences.

All fellows who have completed a Wessex fellowship programme are invited to join the Wessex QI alumni.

Please see the QI projects hubfor further information on the work undertaken on Wessex fellowship programmes.

Celebration close events for Wessex fellows

It is important to share the experience and learning each fellow gets from their time on the programme, as well and sharing the improvement work they have undertaken. This is captured in oral and poster presentations at a celebration close event. The poster presentations are available on the Wessex QI Projects Hub. Soundbites and photos from these events can be found on Twitter by searching #QIWessex.

Please see below some photos from a previous SAS QI Fellowship close event. The celebration event for SAS QI Fellows from 2018 and 2019 will be held later in 2020.
