Project Management in Practice

Overview

At Qualitas, we specialise in healthcare project management, empowering General Practice teams to navigate and implement necessary changes effectively. Our “Project Management in Practice” programme is tailored to address the unique challenges faced by primary care providers.

Our programme is led by highly qualified project management professionals with extensive experience in primary care.

The Problem

Modernising General Practice is a key NHS directive, but many practice teams lack the project management skills to manage change effectively. The complexity and rapid pace of change often result in poor planning, missed opportunities, and frustration, negatively impacting patients, practices, and PCNs, leading to suboptimal outcomes and inefficiencies.

The Solution

What: Curated specifically for Primary Care, our Project Management in Practice programme provides practice teams with essential skills and tools to implement new ways of working, propelling them towards modern General Practice.

How: Supported by an experienced primary care coach, the programme consists of three sprint workshops. Practice staff will learn core project management concepts and apply them to a live project, gaining real-world experience in a safe environment.

How It Works

You will transform your practice ideas into a structured project plan. With guidance from an experienced Qualitas coach and support from peer learning, you will develop a project management canvas, clearly defining success criteria through 3 workshops:

Setting Up a Project

Learn how to set up a project by defining a clear vision and scope, identifying desired outcomes and benefits, assembling a skilled team, and creating a budget. You'll master effective planning and communication, using a project management canvas to articulate and consolidate these tasks on one sheet of paper.

Running a Project

Implement change confidently and successfully. Learn to control progress, use resources efficiently, mitigate risks, and maximise opportunities to achieve project outcomes. You will be guided on using tools and techniques to manage change programmes smoothly.

Completing a Project

Complete projects on time, within budget, and achieve intended benefits through good planning and execution. Develop a culture of continuous improvement and embed the PDSA cycle (Plan-Do-Study-Act) to drive innovation and enhance performance continuously.
