G34(P) Changing practice – a quality improvement project

Abstract

Methods We undertook a 24 week project using the model for improvement. Six plan-do-study-act (PDSA) cycles (table 1) were completed to introduce and sustain a journal club for paediatric trainees. Each intervention was evaluated based on the occurrence of a journal club session. An anonymous survey was sent to all trainees prior to starting the project to identify current journal club participation and areas for improvement (table 2).Abstract G32(P) Table 1 PDSA Cycles
