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.
