In this week’s blog, I would like to share two podcasts describing how as a member of clinical staff you might get started with QI. I was interviewed by Rachel Saville from medical education podcast site MemCast. She also is a Respiratory Trainee Registrar in East Midlands area. Thanks Rachel! I hope you find them enjoyable. There are plenty of tips and insights for new clinicians who are beginning their QI journey. The content and links to the podcasts are described below.
