Shine 2012: turn your good healthcare ideas into good practice

This is your opportunity to test your innovative ideas for improving the quality of healthcare locally and gather evidence about its impact and effectiveness.

The annual Shine programme focuses on aspects of healthcare quality that reflect the key issues the UK health service faces. This year the challenge is to find new approaches to delivering healthcare that aim to achieve one of the following:

• supporting patients to be active partners in their own care
• improving patient safety
• improving quality while reducing costs.

All projects need to identify the costs and benefits of the intervention.

Please send in application by midday of 17 July.
