This podcast is brought you by The Healthcare Improvement Studies Institute (also known as THIS Institute) at the University of Cambridge.
At THIS Institute, we believe that action to improve healthcare should be always grounded in evidence and should generate evidence too. That’s why we work closely with patients, healthcare staff, and other stakeholders to co-create an actionable evidence base that drives real improvements in healthcare quality and safety.
