Promoting and sharing of National QI Network for Early Career Nurses and Midwives
Letter from Nursing Directorate, NHSE and EOI link
We are kindly requesting your assistance with promoting and sharing our National QI Network for Early Career Nurses and Midwives.
We are keen to show case examples of best practice in using QI to drive improvement in patient’s outcomes and experiences, so if you have any early career nurses or midwives that might want to share their work or examples of best practice, we would like to hear from you.
Presenting a QI project at the National Early Career Quality Improvement Network (ECQIN) meeting offers a valuable opportunity for early career nurses and midwives with their professional development through:
- Gain professional visibility and recognition – showcase their work at a national level and across NHS England, celebrating achievements and work on improving patient outcomes and care quality.
- Develop leadership skills and career progression – strengthen and build their presentation and communication skills, growing and building their confidence.
- Expand their network – connect with peers, senior leaders, and experts in quality improvement.
- Share, spread and learn – support the sharing and spreading of best practice in improving care, use of QI and receive valuable feedback to refine or scale their project.
This is an excellent opportunity to recognise and promote the work our early career nurses and midwives are undertaking, and their contribution as leaders of quality improvement.
The QI network aims to build leadership capability, knowledge, and skills in quality improvement, investing in and developing our future generation of nursing and midwifery leaders and share examples of best practice in QI and improvements in patient / person centred care and outcomes to support colleagues with leading improvement in practice. The network also aims to support retention of nurses & midwives. (please note the focus is on those nurses and midwives within the first 5 years of qualification or registration in UK)
This is one of two national QI networks, which NHS England’s Nursing Directorate, has been leading on the design, development, and delivery of to support delivery of the 10 Year Plan’s ambition for quality and the National Patient Safety Strategy and is also supporting delivery of NHS Impact.
Dates of our next meetings are below:
- 5 May 2026, 14:00 – 15:30
- 7 July 2026, 14:00-15:30
The information below can be shared to promote the next network meeting in March.
