Quality improvement (QI)
NCAP quality improvement webinars
These QI webinars are designed for EIP services, QI and governance personnel, EIP team clinicians and other interested staff.
2021 webinars
Following the publication of the report for the 2020/21 EIP audit, we are running two QI webinars, one for England (29th July 2021) and one for Wales (16th September 2021). These webinars will focus on service experiences in the recording and use of outcome measures and the challenges of improving take up and reducing refusal rates of interventions.
2020 webinars
The focus of these webinars was on 'outcome measurement' from the EIP audit, what we are measuring and why, and how data can be used to review and improve EIP team quality and individual care. Webinars were led by NCAP EIP Clinical Advisors Dr Paul French and Professor Jo Smith, Professor Kathryn Greenwood – EYE2 Chief Investigator and Maureen McGeorge - QI expert. If you would like to know more about those presenting you can read their biographies.

The Lester UK Positive Cardiometabolic Health Resource
The Lester Positive Cardiometabolic Health Resource provides practitioners with a simple assessment and intervention framework to protect the cardiovascular and metabolic health of patients with severe mental illness receiving antipsychotic medication.
Adapted for UK use from an original Australian resource, in a process led by the late Professor Helen Lester, this resource has been produced through collaboration between the Royal Colleges of General Practitioners and of Psychiatrists, supported by NAS.
The Lester resource was recently updated with NHS England and Public Health England and is being used in the current NHS mental health CQUIN.

Improving the physical health of people with serious mental illness – a practical toolkit
Between 2014 and 2016, NHS England worked with staff and patients in four mental health trusts to improve the cardiovascular (CVD) health outcomes and reduce premature mortality in people with serious mental illness. CVD is the biggest cause of premature death in this patient group.
This toolkit is designed to help other mental health trusts implement the Lester tool, using a combination of detailed case studies, short examples and supporting documents provided by each pilot site.
