“Aqua are a national improvement organisation that appreciates the multitude of challenges in reducing health inequalities, including the dimensions of access, experience and outcomes matrixed across the social determinants of health. Aqua supportively challenges the system with which they are working to ensure that the patient/service user is at the heart of all improvements. Aqua spend the time to understand the system within which they are working allowing them to act as independent trouble shooters and problem solvers within the system.
“They have vast knowledge and expertise of robust QI methods and programme management, and know which QI tools may be of value to the problem you are trying to solve. Most importantly they are a level headed team who are action focused and aim to ensure the customer gets value.”
