Case Studies

The QI projects on this page showcase effective initiatives that are improving ovarian cancer care and potentially survival across the UK. These projects come from the inaugural phase of IMPROVE UK, launched to address unacceptable inequities revealed through the Ovarian Cancer Audit Feasibility Pilot.

With UK survival rates among the poorest in Europe, IMPROVE UK aims to raise standards nationwide through quality improvement project implementation and best practice sharing. These QI projects demonstrate the potential to enhance patient access, treatment, support and more.

Reviewing these projects can educate clinicians on proven QI strategies and interventions that are moving the needle on ovarian cancer care. The initiatives demonstrate feasible ways health systems could standardise and elevate care. More broadly, they showcase how QI methodology can systematically tackle gaps and inconsistencies in cancer care to optimise patient outcomes.
