Welcome to the Advancing Quality Website
Welcome to the Advancing Quality Website
Advancing Quality is an exciting and ambitious new programme that aims to improve patient care and patient experience in NHS hospitals across the North West.
The programme, which went live in 24 trusts on October 1st 2008, is the first of its kind in the UK and we are proud to be pioneering it here in the North West.
The Advancing Quality programme will ensure patients have an overall better experience in hospital, which will ultimately result in them having a better health-related quality of life.
Patients also have more say and influence, as their opinions and experiences of the care they receive in hospital are taken into account and acted on.
If successful, the programme will save lives, reduce re-admissions, reduce complications and decrease the length of stay in hospital for patients. It will also help hospitals significantly reduce costs, allowing the NHS to plough the money back into improving care and facilities.
