National Quality Improvement (inc Clinical Audit) Network (N-QI-CAN) brings together the regional clinical audit / effectiveness networks from across England. There are 13 regional clinical audit/effectiveness networks all of whom have representatives attending our quarterly N-QI-CAN meetings. Wales and Northern Ireland are also represented on the group to enable sharing of good practice and collaborative working.
NQICAN has several 'stakeholder members' including NHS England, HQIP and NICE. Several of the Royal Colleges and other key stakeholders are represented. The group links with the National Advisory Group for Clinical Audit and Enquiries (NAGCAE) on a regular basis.
The group has two Officers: the Chair and General Secretary and one Non-Officer position: Communications Facilitator.
NQICAN's strategic objectives are:
- To work with and provide a (national and regional) voice for staff working in clinical audit and quality improvement in organisations who commission/ provide care to health care to NHS patients and social care.
- Support Regional Network Chairs and relevant others in the development of regional networks
- Engage, influence and be a point of contact for key organisations such as HQIP
- Support the development of national clinical audit
- Work to align clinical audit, quality improvement and improvement science
