The National COPD Audit Programme hosted four regional quality improvement (QI) workshops during 2017, to facilitate and enable local quality improvement.
Supporting teams to improve care
The 1-day workshops involed supporting teams to design QI initiatives in an evidence-based way, using data from the National COPD Audit’s secondary care audit.
They joined other teams to share practice, and received information on methods of implementing change. There were resources and expert guidance available for delegates on the day.
When and where?

Who are these workshops for?
These workshops were designed for teams managing patients admitted to hospital with acute exacerbations of COPD, who are interested in improving care for patients.
We invited guests to attend in teams (two people or more). Ideally, teams were represented by at least one:
- physician
- nurse
- allied health professional
- member of the local improvement department and/or member of the management team.
