We're delighted to share the publication of 'Building sustainable QI capacity through a regional QI education programme: lessons from 8 years of experience with London paediatric resident doctors.'

This paper highlights the impact of the QI Change Champions programme, designed and delivered by QIClearn in partnership with the London School of Paediatrics, and explores eight years of building quality improvement capability across the NHS.

A huge congratulations to all the authors, participants, mentors and faculty who have contributed to the programme's success. We're particularly proud to see the paper showcase how investing in improvement skills, mentorship and communities of practice can help create sustainable change and develop the next generation of improvement leaders.

Special thanks to our Director, Nikki Davey, and everyone who has helped shape and grow this work over the years.

We're delighted to share the launch of : How Better Feels 🎧

This new podcast series explores the lived experience of healthcare improvement, bringing together the stories, reflections and hard-earned wisdom of people working to make healthcare better every day.

We're especially proud that Dr Heather Shearer and Nikki Davey, Directors at QIClearn, are among the 100 voices featured in this important project.

Improvement is about more than methods and measurement. It's also about people, perseverance, learning and the experiences that shape our thinking. We can't wait to hear these conversations unfold.

Listen to the trailer and follow the podcast ahead of the first episodes launching on 4 November.

It was great to see such strong engagement at our workshop at AoME 2026 on Tuesday, delivered by Dr Heather Shearer and Dr Stephanie Meddick-Dyson.

Reflecting on the session, Heather Shearer, Director of QIClearn, said:

"Steph and I were fortunate to lead a full workshop at AoME. Participants shared stories about uncertainty around audit and quality improvement methods, educational supervisors being unfamiliar with QI methods within the current curriculum, and experiences of repeated audits with little or no resulting change. These are exactly the reasons we set out to write the paper in the first place, and we hope both the workshop and paper prove useful."

These conversations reinforced something we hear often: healthcare educators and trainees want practical guidance on choosing the right methodology to achieve meaningful improvement, rather than undertaking projects that generate little impact.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended, shared their experiences, and contributed to such an insightful discussion.
