QSIR College is designed to develop candidates to become QSIR teaching faculty associates and go on to up skill other staff across their organisation or within their system. To ensure sustainability, it is necessary for applications from individual NHS organisations to feature at least three candidates. Health system applications are expected to include six to ten candidates drawn from the various organisations involved in their sustainability and transformation plan.
It is essential that each applicant organisation or system demonstrates they are prepared to support, enable and champion their candidates to fully benefit from the programme and also successfully roll out QSIR within their organisation/across their system.
