RCVS Knowledge expands 2026 QI events
RCVS Knowledge aims to 'meet teams where they are'.
RCVS Knowledge has announced dates and locations for this year’s Quality Improvement (QI) training events.
Alongside online sessions, this year’s QI events will visit three different cities in the UK: London, Bristol and Newcastle.
The dates of the events are:
- Wednesday, 4 March 2026 – 1 Hardwick Street, London
- Wednesday, 15 July 2026 – Mercure Bristol North the Grange Hotel
- Wednesday, 14 October 2026 – DoubleTree by Hilton, Newcastle International Airport
The new dates form part of RCVS Knowledge’s commitment to ‘meet teams where they are’. The learning platform is attempting to bring its QI training to more regions.
The training syllabus will demonstrate how veterinary teams can use QI principles to improve patient safety, clinical outcomes and team learning.
Through the course, attendees will learn how to build structured systems to learn from errors. They will be guided in the use of QI tools, techniques and mindset.
It will also be an opportunity to collaborate, exchange strategies and experiences, and learn from experts.
Lou Northway, RCVS Knowledge clinical lead, said: “It’s time to put ‘we’ve always done it this way’ in the bin and embrace a ‘could it be better?’ mindset.
“We’re not just talking about clinical outcomes but full-circle practice life. What would you like to improve in your workplace? Come along and let us show you how you can do it!”
Early bird tickets are £150 per person, with discounts for bookings made in groups. Early bird tickets for the London event close on 11 February.

Two independent vets have launched a podcast to help owners strengthen their bond with pets. Dr Maggie Roberts and Dr Vanessa Howie, who have worked in both veterinary practice and major charities, are keen to use their experience to enable people to give pets a better life.
