This week we’re celebrating World Quality Week, a global celebration of quality and the people who champion it across organisations, teams and communities. The annual campaign highlights the critical role quality management and culture play in driving success, fostering innovation and creating sustainable value for society. Discover how quality principles drive organisations like Belfast Health and Social Care Trust from mere compliance to outstanding performance.
This year’s theme, “Quality: think differently,” invites us to challenge traditional approaches to quality management and embrace new ways of thinking. It’s an opportunity for organisations, teams and individuals to reflect on and reimagine how we approach quality.
You can find out more about World Quality Day on the Chartered Quality Institute website.
As part of World Quality Week (9th-13th November 2026), the Belfast Trust publishes our Annual Quality Report. The report focuses on five key themes:
- Transforming the Culture
- Strengthening the Workforce
- Measuring the Improvement
- Raising the Standards
- Integrating the care
This report reflects our unwavering commitment to delivering the highest standards of care for patients, service users and their families and carers. Our vision remains to continue to create and embed the conditions to become the safest, most effective, and most compassionate health and social care organisation.
In addition to detailed information regarding the provision of services and quality improvement work across the organisation, our Annual Quality Report centres on providing insight into the experiences of patients, service users and staff.
You can find the Annual Quality Report in the Publications section of our website or visit the interactive version.
