Strengthening the contribution of improvers to UK health and care? An evaluation of the Q Initiative 2016–2020

RAND Europe has been a 'critical friend' of Q from 2016 to 2020. The first two years of this evaluation were primarily formative in approach, focusing on how Q was designed and established, and feeding the data back to the Q team to inform the ongoing design of Q. The later stages of the evaluation took a more summative approach, focusing on the impact of Q on its members as well as on its wider contributions to healthcare improvement.
