This guide signposts key QI resources and library services to support The Rotherham NHS Staff undertaking QI projects.
One of the first steps in any Quality Improvement (QI) project must be to establish what others have done to improve quality of care and outcomes and what research evidence might have to say on your topic. Here's where the Library and our staff expertise in literature searching comes in.
