Quality Improvement/Change in Practice/Contribution to Clinical Practice
In health a quality activity is a systematic evaluation of an aspect of service or care against measurable quality indicators which has resulted in improvement. This improvement may be related to a contribution to clinical practice through a clinical speciality role or a service process and may be done as either a group or individual project.
Examples of quality improvement activity are audits, incident reports, data analysis, surveys, etc.

Evidence of Teaching
Nurses contribute to education in a variety of ways within the clinical setting. Teaching is a planned teaching session to a number of staff, using a teaching plan, set venue, available resources and an evaluation procedure. Informal teaching is an unplanned opportunity to teach one or more staff in an informal environment, such as a procedure at the bedside or equipment set up.
