Patient First
Patient First is a quality management system which is used throughout University Hospitals Dorset. It will enable us all to make changes that benefit ourselves, our colleagues, and our patients.
The concept of Patient First can be simply explained as a triangle, with the patients at the top, and our values central to how we work. UHD staff can find out more here.
Please email library@uhd.nhs.uk or request a Literature Search if you are working on a Patient First Objective or Improvement Project, so that we can provide you with the latest evidence.
KLS Literature Searches can also provide evidence-based insights to inform A3 problem-solving, improving decision-making and solution effectiveness.
