1000 Lives Plus - Improving care, delivering quality

Every health board and trust in Wales, together with universities, voluntary organisations and charities, other public sector services, and commercial organisations are involved in 1000 Lives Plus.

The programme is focussed on building capacity and sustaining and spreading improvements. It supports frontline staff across Wales through evidence-based ‘programme areas’ and provides clinical leadership through its Faculty. It is committed to engaging patients and students in improvement work and promotes an internationally-recognised quality improvement methodology.

1000 Lives Plus is underpinned by measurement to illustrate improvement, and facilitates collaborative working to test new methods and protocols. The central team supports senior managers and frontline staff to deliver the quality of care that every person needs, everywhere and every time.
