Good work conducted as part of QI projects should be celebrated. It is important to see if the gains in one area can be replicated or spread to another area and influence ongoing change in different departments. This section provides detail on how to scale up and spread your project.

There are several tools and methods described in the Quality Improvement (QI) literature and it is important you choose the correct one for your project.

What is Quality Improvement (QI) and why is it important to consider in the context of older people's healthcare? This section discusses the different origins and approaches to QI.

This section provides hints and tips for quality improvement projects that relate to the health and care of older people, with real examples from BGS conferences.
