Healthcare professional staff often carry out quality improvement; clinical audit or other projects that result in substantial improvement in patient care in a healthcare organization. The staff’s work is scientifically-sound and has been very effective; but the staff don’t think of writing about the project for publication. The process of writing a journal article is daunting. This workshop explains exactly how to prepare an article for a healthcare journal. How to plan the time needed; how to outline the content; how to follow journal’s instructions for authors; and what happens to a submission to a journal all are included.
We were founded in 1986, so we have over 20 years' experience serving healthcare organizations. Over that time, the healthcare sector in the countries where we work has changed dramatically. Throughout these changes, we have responded rapidly to changing expectations and helped the organizations we work with to be better prepared for new challenges related to the quality and safety of patient care.
We provide about 175 educational or consultancy services a year. Our customers have included public sector healthcare organizations, government bodies, Royal Colleges, private sector healthcare organizations, and others. Each year, we provide services for more than 50 healthcare organizations, in most cases directly with the staff that provide direct patient care services.
We have extensive experience working in university hospitals, community hospitals, primary care settings including individual general practices, mental health care settings for a full range of mental health services, services for people with learning disabilities, and other healthcare services.
