What are the participants are saying (V-QIL 2021 Group 1)

"The QIL program strengths are in the practical application of the theories and science of improvement. I am really enjoying this program and would recommend it to quality leads and clinicians alike.  Denise Fitzpatrick  Regional Clinical Governance coordinator"

"The polls and activities throughout the days. The interactions with other participants 4-5 people was the perfect amount, allowed us time to all speak/ discuss with everyone in the group."

"The virtual platform was excellent, I felt like it was (nearly) equal to an in-person experience with the added bonus of not wasting precious time travelling - I probably wouldn't have done the course if it was in person in a city location as I'm from country Victoria & have a young family. I love the option of completing this course virtually, well done ACHS IA Team"

"The content, I am enjoying the learning. It is well presented, and I am very much looking forward to using the information in the workplace"
