QSI Quality Mark Successes

The Colleges are pleased to announce the services which have achieved the QSI Quality Mark, and those who are Working Towards QSI. 
LEARN MORE

The QSI Quality Mark scheme was established jointly by the College of Radiographers  and the Royal College of Radiologists in July 2024. The Colleges are pleased to announce that the following services have achieved the award of the QSI Quality Mark. This means that the services have undergone a rigorous peer review process, which evaluates the services provided by the organisations against the Quality Standard for Imaging    to award the Quality Mark. The Quality Standard for Imaging set out the standards for design, delivery and development of safe, effective and patient-centred imaging services.

The Colleges would like to offer their congratulations to the organisations listed below.

What does award of the Quality Mark mean?

These organisations have demonstrated that they have met a set of standards determined by experienced professionals from the Colleges, and following extensive consultation with stakeholders. This award can give patients greater confidence in the quality and effectiveness of the services offered, their systems and the staff skills and teamwork. 

The award of the Quality Mark also reflects the Colleges’ confidence in services to continue to improve quality, sharing and learning from good practice and keeping up-to-date with the latest innovations and guidance. The patient can therefore be reassured that they will receive and continue to receive the best possible care.  

The Colleges are committed to proving targeted supported to the organisations who have signed up to this robust but supportive scheme and look forward to working in partnership to maintain the high standards achieved. We recognise the hard work and collective effort of the whole imaging service that goes into attaining this. The skill and professionalism that radiologists, radiographers and other scientific, clinical, technical and support staff bring to delivering crucial imaging services for the benefit of patients is of vital importance. 

Use of the QSI Quality Mark

The award of the QSI Quality Mark or Working Towards status reflects the assessment of the services offered, and the evidence available, at the point at which the review was undertaken.

Working towards QSI

The Quality Mark process also allows for recognition of those services that are actively Working Towards QSI. At this stage, organisations are required to demonstrate that they can fulfil 50% of the required standards. They will be expected to demonstrate continued engagement with the QSI standards which will be evaluated annually. The service will continue to progress towards meeting the standards, with a minimum expectation of 10% increase per year. If there is less than 10% progress within a year, then the Working Towards status will be removed until progress can be demonstrated.

Full requirements for Working Towards

  • Hub Membership in Place
  • Quality Improvement Partner (QIP) assigned
  • QIP meetings taking place
  • Self-assessment tool is at least 50% complete with plans to fill gaps.
  • Documents uploaded to SharePoint 50% or more.
  • Assurance that the service has included every site and modality in their evidence.

Assurance that all applicable standards have been identified across the scope i.e. check non-applicable standards.

Recommendations have been identified and are being actioned.
