College Centre
for Quality Improvement
The College Centre for Quality Improvement (CCQI) aims to raise the
standard of care that people with emotional or mental health needs
receive by helping providers, users and commissioners of services
assess and increase the quality of care they provide. More than 90%
of mental health services in the UK participate in the work of the
CCQI.
Please choose from the options below:
The CCQI:
- sets standards for the organisation and delivery of mental
health services;
- engages with front-line staff and supports them to
measure their own service against these standards;
- recognises local achievement, including by offering
accreditation, and identifies areas for improvement;
- works with local teams to develop and implement plans for
service improvement;
- works actively with other professional bodies, so that staff of
all disciplines are engaged in the work;
- works in partnership with service users and carers, and
encourages local mental health services to do the same;
- works with both NHS and independent sector services in the UK
(there is increasing interest from services in other
countries);
- encourages mental healthcare staff from different services to
support each other and share good ideas through peer-review,
newsletters, email discussion groups, and workshops.
