QNPICU annual forum
When: 22 October 2020 - 10.30am - 4.00pm
This year we will be hosting our annual forum virtually. This is the third annual forum for the Quality Network for Psychiatric Intensive Care Units (QNPICU). We are delighted to be able to host this event, hearing from experts within the PICU field and hope for the event to be engaging and interactive.
We will have keynote presentations and workshops throughout the day looking at a number of themes such as the Sustainability/Green walking project, Open dialogue and Quality Network updates. This year the event will be held virtually for the first time.
This webinar is free for QNPICU members, or £55 for non-members.
Registration: To book your place please visit the webinar registration page.
Programme: A draft programme is now available!

QNPICU reviewer training
The training will give potential reviewers the opportunity to gain practical knowledge about how to conduct a peer-review visit virtually. The online training session will involve presentations and discussions to develop the skills of a reviewer. The training is free to member services.
We strongly encourage individuals organising and reviewing other services to attend this condensed training, which will cover the new process of virtual reviews.
We have condensed the training to just one hour, on the following dates:

Reviewer Training enables staff from our member services to participate in accreditation visits to other psychiatric intensive care units. Participants will gain practical and theoretical knowledge of all aspects of participating in a peer-review visit. The day involves presentations, seminar discussions and role-play scenarios.
Staff from any discipline with an interest in being involved in external peer-reviews for the Quality Network can take part.
The training is free to member services.
