The QA/QI Meeting is a regular working group session within the West Midlands Radiotherapy Network, focused on supporting ongoing quality assurance (QA) and quality improvement (QI) across radiotherapy services in the region. These meetings bring together professionals from multiple provider trusts to review service quality, share best practice, support innovation, and help ensure consistent delivery of high‑quality, evidence‑based radiotherapy care. The Radiotherapy Network’s purpose includes strengthening partnership working, driving service improvement, adopting new technologies, and ensuring patient access to safe and effective treatment. The QA/QI group typically reviews progress on quality initiatives, identifies improvement opportunities, and supports alignment with national standards and local radiotherapy priorities across the West Midlands.
