The Perioperative Quality Improvement Programme has been running since 2016 and wouldn’t be anything without our collaborators. We would like to thank them all for their hard work.
Despite the COVID-19 pandemic having a massive impact on research studies, we are now well into our recovery and are thrilled that recruitment is gathering momentum and that we have more sites joining us. So far, more than 150 hospitals have been involved, with more than 39,000 patients recruited! It is an exciting time for PQIP. Below we have detailed three of the areas we have been focused on, but if you would like to read about our other activities or get involved please visit our website. We are also part of the Associate Principal Investigator scheme for those who want to develop skills in leading research projects locally.
