By joining the QSI Hub services will benefit from a range of support resources that will help to facilitate your progression in meeting the QSI standards.
As a member of the QSI Hub you will be appointed a designated Quality Improvement Partner (QIP) who will provide dedicated advice and support and monitor your progress. You will also have access to your own confidential SharePoint site to begin tracking you progress against the standards and collating the relevant documentation.
Members will also be able to achieve “working towards QSI” status when they have met demonstratable progression.

The QSI Quality Mark is for services who have successfully implemented the QSI standards within their service and wish to seek formal recognition of this. A review team will assess your service’s compliance with the QSI standards and provide a written report of their findings including areas of best practice and recommendations for improvement. Final confirmation of the Quality Mark will be awarded when all the relevant standards have been deemed as met by the review team and quality assured by the QSI Quality Mark committee.
