NELA QI Posters
Over the last few years the NELA Project has sponsored a Trainee Poster Prize at the AAGBI Winter Scientific Meetings and ASGBI International Surgical Congresses. This is for the best poster that uses local hospital NELA data to bring about an improvement in the quality of care.
The members of the Project Team have been very impressed by the posters submitted to date and are thrilled to see NELA data being used on a local level to drive Quality Improvement.
As a result we are happy to share some of the Posters submitted to demonstrate how NELA participants continue to put the patient data to good use.
