Why this is worth applying to

Who should apply

Doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals with experience in audits, service improvement, or patient safety initiatives; also healthcare graduates with QI training.

CV angle

Highlight any quality improvement projects, clinical audit participation, leadership in change initiatives, and use of QI methodologies (e.g., PDSA, Lean). Emphasize ability to translate clinical experience into measurable improvements.

Skills to highlight

  • Quality improvement methodologies
  • Data analysis
  • Stakeholder engagement
  • Project management
  • Change management
  • Clinical audit
  • Patient safety
