  Quality, Innovation, Productivity and Prevention (QIPP) Post QIPP Ideas
“All those who work on the frontline should be thinking carefully, and imaginatively, about how we can do things differently. The QIPP process is a home for this in the NHS and the way that we can implement the best and brightest ideas across the service. As the Prime Minister said: ‘Don’t hold back – be innovative, be radical, challenge the way things are done.”
Andrew Lansley, Secretary of State for Health
  UKRPG Members are asked to post Qipp Ideas here!
  "To encourage members to share ideas on the QIPP pages the RPG will be presenting a prize at the Annual conference in September to the best innovative idea posted"
