About the workstream

The quality workstream has 3 specialty Quality Management Groups (sQMGs):

The Quality Workstream has 3 specialty Quality Management Groups (sQMGs) that are responsible for the governance around data and intelligence management including the management of Quality Management-Quality Improvement (QM-QI) visits for the specialties within their scope.

The membership of each sQMGs consist of a Lead Dean Director (LDD) (who chairs the group), a Deputy Lead Dean Director (DLDD) and Associate Postgraduate Deans for Quality Lead (APGDQ), Quality Improvement Managers (QIM) and Quality Improvement Administrators (QIA).

Other members include Associate Postgraduate Deans for specialties who bring intelligence around training issues in their specialties to the sQMGs, representatives of the Foundation and the General Practice-Occupational Medicine-Public Health Medicine sQMGs (where appropriate) as well as lay representation.

SQMGs meet every 4 months, and each reports on its activities to the overarching Deanery Quality Management Group (DQMG) via a SQMG highlights report. 

SQMGs have 3 core functions that support their LDDs to effect their quality management responsibilities for their specialty groupings:

• Management of data and intelligence relating to training in their specialties including their Quality Review Panel
• Review of Quality Management activities related to visits in their specialties
• Engagement with external and internal stakeholders around the QM-QI remit for their specialties (including support for the Specialty Training Board for the same specialties).
