Quality Improvement
The National Audit of Eating Disorders (NAED) has launched its Quality Improvement (QI) Network to support teams in improving the identification, management, and overall quality of care for people with eating disorders.
The network is led by QI Expert Maureen McGeorge and QI Coach Sadhbh Fitzgerald, with support from the NAED project team.
Registered audit teams will be supported in project design and QI methods through training workshops and webinars, linked with NAED's healthcare improvement goals. On this page, you can find information and resources related to the NAED QI Network.
