|
|
We are excited to announce that applications are open for the fourth cohort of the UCLPartners Improvement Fellows Programme.
The aim of the programme is to create a network of people – clinicians, managers, educators, researchers, patients and others – who have the confidence, capability and capacity to lead improvement within their organisations and beyond.
We are looking for people from a wide range of roles, professional groups and organisations with some experience of quality improvement – but more importantly for people with a passion for improvement and the benefits it can bring to patients, populations and staff.

Innovation spotlight
A monthly spotlight on the best innovations, innovators and thought leaders from across the partnership.
This month we're highlighting CATCH, a free NHS health app for parents and carers of children aged 0-5.
CATCH (Common Approach To Children’s Health) works to reduce inappropriate use of A&E and urgent care services, when self-care would be more appropriate. CATCH does this by giving parents appropriate and understandable information when they need and want it, in a timely and measured way, via smartphone or tablet.
Support and clinical knowledge is aggregated from an area’s GPs and public health department, building a region-specific, tailored, trusted resource that parents can re-use, giving them the confidence to look after their children at home. CATCH curates this local health information and articles from trusted sources, such as NHS Choices.
CATCH is an innovation supported by the NHS Innovation Accelerator.
