Collaboration is key to improvement. As such, we have created a platform for services to share improvement stories. Under each KPI, a series of case studies has been listed. There is also a case study template for services to complete and send to falls@rcp.ac.uk listed below. The information provided will be written as a narrative and returned to you for approval before being published.
