As the NHS faces unprecedented challenges from an ageing population, restricted resources, rapid innovation and changing expectations, NHS organisations need to maintain and improve quality, and support staff while simultaneously reducing costs.

To do this, there is a need to develop and improve services, and evaluate the impact of those changes.

The Oxford Healthcare Improvement Centre trains and develops staff at Oxford Health in order to deliver better and safer care through a programme of quality improvement projects, training and research. We work with national and international organisations, universities, health and social care providers, commissioners, the academic health science network, patient safety collaborative and industrial partners.

We are based at the Warneford Hospital in Headington, Oxford, which is also where Oxford Health is headquartered.
