Supervising a QI project
Health professionals from numerous fields and disciplines have engaged in supervising QI projects. If you are motivated to embed sustainability into the projects you supervise, or are being asked by learners to adopt this approach, these resources should help you understand how to supervise and even assess Sustainability in Quality Improvement projects.
The good news is, SusQI is designed to be embedded into existing QI theory, which means you don’t have to start again but can add the SusQI framework to your current knowledge and experience of QI.
If you are not familiar with SusQI, visit our What is SusQI page, and click here to familiarise yourself with the 4-step process of a SusQI project.
Before you start supervising
The QI Education Project have developed this video for supervisors and tutors. It provides an introduction to sustainable healthcare and the SusQI approach to sustainability in quality improvement, and provides tips on how you can support students.
Further support
CSH staff are always happy to answer any questions you may have or discuss a project with you.
Please contact Catherine Richards, CSH’s SusQI Programme Lead for more information.
We also have SusQI specific courses available for those who want to learn more about SusQI and how to teach and supervise it.
Encouraging your trainees to publish their work
Sharing good practice is essential for spreading positive change. You can encourage those you supervise to publish their work or share with others online (see suggested forums below). To help facilitate this, guide them to our Project Report and Poster Presentation templates on our resource page.
