QI 1346 CAMHS Staff Quality Improvement Engagement Project
Abstract
To increase engagement from staff working in CAMHS services with The Improvement Team at CWPT (leading to an increase in the number of staff who are QSIR trained and the number of registered QI projects for these services).
Historically there have been low levels of engagement with The Improvement Team from CAMHS when compared to other services in the Trust, with very few QI projects registered and small numbers of staff completing QSIR training. Presentations given at a CAMHS event in October 2024 showed that lots of potential improvement work is happening, but staff are not accessing the team for support with this. We wanted to understand and overcome these barriers, with the aim of increasing engagement with the team.

- More use of QI methods for pieces of work in CAMHS services and regular QI-focused meetings set up.
