The Handbook of Quality Improvement in Healthcare systematically covers the most modern theories and methods of improvement and implementation science in a practical and easy to follow format. It focusses on key challenges in healthcare, such as developing safe person-centred care, ensuring equity of care, meeting the challenge of climate change, and ensuring that care is safe, effective, timely, and delivered efficiently.

By using helpful case studies throughout, and providing ethical, psychological, and practical advice on quality of care, this pocket-sized handbook is the ideal guide to all in healthcare today.
