Paediatric KQuIP structure
KQuIP is supporting 13 paediatric renal centres in the UK to improve the care of children with kidney disease through the development of a national quality improvement (QI) network.
The national paediatric KQuIP programme is led by Dr Daljit Hothi, consultant paediatric nephrologist, Great Ormond Street Hospital and Ms Kamal Dhesi, patient/family representative, British Association of Paediatric Nephrologists (BAPN).
The KQuIP Paediatric objectives are:
- Building effective teams
- Working collaboratively
- Establishing patient/family co-partnerships
- Developing learning communities, growing from the collective successes and failures
- Adopting QI methodology to deliver our desired outcomes
