The Quality Standard for Imaging (QSI) defines what’s needed to deliver safe, effective, and patient-centred imaging services. Jointly developed by the Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) and the College of Radiographers (CoR), the QSI supports imaging providers in embedding a culture of continuous quality improvement and achieving excellence.

As a Quality Improvement and Review Partner, you’ll play a pivotal role in upholding and advancing these standards. Drawing on your professional expertise, you’ll support imaging services on their journey toward QSI accreditation and lead independent assessments across a wide range of settings — from small independent providers to large, multisite NHS and private organisations. You’ll guide expert review teams, deliver robust evaluations, and produce focused reports and action plans that drive meaningful, measurable improvement.

What you’ll do:

  • Act as the designated Quality Improvement and Review Partner for a portfolio of imaging services across the UK.
  • Provide expert guidance to QSI leads on both the review process and the standards.
  • Manage the full review cycle for services in your portfolio.
  • Select and coordinate review team members in collaboration with the Quality Improvement Administrator.
  • Participate in quality assurance and moderation activities to ensure consistency and rigour.

 

What you’ll need:

  • Demonstrable experience in quality assurance, accreditation, or evaluation assessments, or in healthcare quality management.
  • Strong knowledge of quality assurance and assessment approaches.
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills, tailored to diverse audiences.
  • Proven ability to prioritise effectively while remaining adaptable to changing needs.
  • A collaborative mindset and the ability to build strong relationships with a wide range of stakeholders.
