Abstract
AIMS: METHODS: The course was piloted for 60 Foundation Year one doctors. The course started with an introduction to quality and quality improvement projects (QIP). The interactive sessions included a ‘paper airplane factory challenge’ to highlight inefficiencies occurring within a process. The ‘marshmallow challenge’ session was used to highlight the benefit of prototyping. The final afternoon session involved discussions about areas for QI in their own workplace. RESULTS: Pre-course feedback demonstrated over 60% of respondents had not received QI training, but yet 50% have attempted a QIP. Post-course feedback was overwhelmingly positive; many reported they now understand the concept of QIP. Delegates stated the ‘airplane factory’ helped most to understand the concept of analysing processes to improve an outcome. Delegates also reported enthusiasm to seek opportunities for QI in their own workplace. CONCLUSIONS: REFERENCES
