About QiC

The Quality in Care Programmes are an initiative developed to recognise quality and productivity, in line with the UK's Department of Health (DH) agenda around QIPP (Quality, Innovation, Producitivity, Prevention). This series of programmes aim to identify, commend, evaluate and share good practice in patient care within specific treatment areas.

QiC also aims to highlight good healthcare practice and effective collaboration between the NHS, patient groups and the industry in specific therapy areas. This new approach to joint working is essential in these challenging economic times as the NHS strives to continue offering a world-beating service.

Central to all QiC Programmes is the QiC Awards scheme, which recognise the projects and teams behind this good practice.

Each awards scheme is followed by a case study book as well as a series of forums to share the ideas behind good practice.
