If you're an IMG in the NHS, doing a Quality Improvement Project (QIP) isn’t just a "nice to have"—it’s essential for career progression, leadership development, and real patient impact. 🚀 Many confuse audits with QIPs, but QIPs are about driving true change in your department and going beyond ticking boxes. Ready to step up and make a difference? Here's what you need to know:
• ❓ Audit vs QIP: Audit = Are we following the rules? | QIP = How can we improve the system?
• 🛠How to Start: Spot a problem ➔ Set a SMART goal ➔ Collect data ➔ Implement change ➔ Re-audit ➔ Repeat!
• 🔄 Tool to Know: PDSA Cycle (Plan → Do → Study → Act) is your best friend for successful projects.
• 💬 Pro Tip: If you’re stuck, ask your registrars, QI Leads, or join an ongoing project. You don’t have to do it alone!
