QPS Education Team
Our purpose is to support a culture of continuous learning by enabling the development of QPS (Quality and Patient Safety) competence across our health system.
What we do
Here are some examples of our work:
- Accessible learning through our central QPS learning management system and resources.
- Excellence in learning through our standardised and evidence based approach to design, development and digital support for QPS learning programmes and systems.
- Enhanced QPS capability by continuing to develop QI (Quality Improvement) and Human Factors Learning pathways.
- Fostering the development of local QPS communities of practice that build facilitation skills and provide a space for shared learning.
- Develop alliances to influence and align QPS learning agendas, curricula, best practices, and research that will develop QPS competence across the system.
