The KQuIP/ UKRR Regional Day is a one off event hosted within the region and brings together the renal community including medical, multi-disciplinary colleagues and patients to consider data provided by the UK Renal Registry, Public Health England and NHSBT with a focus on quality improvement
The KQuIP/UKRR North West Regional day, led by Dr Smeeta Sinha on 31st January 2018 brought together the North West renal community from Merseyside, Manchester and Lancashire and were involved in developing the programme for the day with the support of KQuIP.
The data discussions were coupled with interactive sessions to consider national and local data and how to best utilise the information to reduce unwanted variation in practice across the region and consider the three national KQuIP projects.
The day was led by the clinical leads from across the North West to provide an opportunity to explore the regions involvement in the three KQuIP national priority projects and to share improvement successes and plan collaborative projects across the region.
