Have you thought about entering the welearn QI Poster contest?

October 20, 2023

We have launched our welearn quality improvement poster contest. This is now firmly established as an annual event and forms part of our welearn programme of learning and knowledge sharing across our organisation.  The welearn QI poster contest aims to share good practice, quality initiatives, innovations, research and partnerships that have resulted in improvements for our patients, carers and colleagues. There is a prize of £5,000 for the winner, and £250 each for the two highly commended posters and popular staff vote – so definitely worth taking part.

Entries are encouraged and welcomed from everyone, whether you work with patients or provide non-clinical support. We are looking to see improvement projects and programmes written up and captured in a poster. Don’t be put off by this because help is available. Medical Illustration will provide support to design and produce the poster and you can discuss your ideas on content with the library and knowledge services team.

Visit the Connect pages for the guidance document, the poster template and also listen to the previous year’s winners about their experience of the process and how quality improvement brought about a positive impact on their services and patients.

Be sure to also check out this short video featuring Lee Walker, Improvement Project Manager, who alongside Tahmena Karim, Chizo Agwu and the Learning from Deaths Committee created a poster around improving our the Trust mortality ratios.

Closing date for the poster contest is Friday 17 November.

If you need help with your submission or designing your poster, contact the library team and medical illustration team by emailing swbh.welearnposters@nhs.net.
