INTRODUCTION
The main motive of health care institutions is to enhance the quality of care and services that
they provide to patient in order to bring most positive outcomes out of the efforts made. Hence
the regular practice toward improving the health as well as care plan of patient is essential. This
best practice within the health care term is defined as the best way for identifying, gathering,
evaluating, disseminating as well as implementing the information as well as monitoring the
outcome of the health care interventions that are being tried over the patients and defining the
indication or condition (Bain and Fowler, 2020). So, the practice based initiative is all about
improving the health care practice through the evidence and experiences in order to improve the
quality of services delivered to the patient for enhancing the quality of care and improve their
health care. In order to further develop understanding about the importance of practice based
initiate within improving the care services for the patients this study is conducted which is based
on NHS which ia a health and social care institution.
NHS is a publicly funded health care system which is headquartered in United Kingdom.
This name is combinedly operated under four system one within each of the four countries of UK
which includes NHS in England, NHS Wales, NHS Scotland and Health and social care within
Norther Ireland. It offered range of services such as primary care services, ambulance, mental
health services, social care and hospital services. NHS is best known for its health care services
and practices (Hyde, MacVicar and Humphrey, 2020). But as the issues related with health care
is increasing day by day it become very much essential for the health care service providers to
improve their services in order to [provide better cure and treatment to the patient. The care
practices can be improved with the help of enhancing the practices adopted by the health care
practitioners. Hence to determine the role of practices-based initiative in improving the health
care services this report is conducted.
a) Justification & scoping of your project
This topic has a wider scope for the health and social care sector as it help in developing an
understanding about the need pf improving the health care practice in order to enhance the
quality of services offered to the patient. This in turn also help in improving the health and social
care sector as well as the performance of health care practitioners. Other then this the study will
also remain helpful in uncovering the fact about why the initiative toward improving the health

care practice is essential for NHS and manner in which it will support in improving the overall
structure of health and social care sector.
b. Aims, objectives and planning
Aim
To investigate about the role of practice-based initiative in improving the quality of care for
services users. A study on NHS
Research Objective
 To explore about the concept of practice-based initiative.
 To determine the importance of taking initiative for NHS to improve quality of services
 To ascertain the relationship between using practice based initiative and improving the
quality of services for care users.
Research questions
 What is the basic concept of practice-based initiative?
 Explain about the major importance of taking initiative for NHS to improve quality of
services?
 What is the relationship between using practice based initiative and improving the quality
of services for care users?
Project plan
The current report is based on performing investigation to identify the role that a practice-
based initiative performs within improving the quality of services that are delivered with in the
health care setting. To determine the feasibility of report firstly the literature review will be
performed that help in developing an understanding about the area of study and also support in
determining the feasibility of study. As literature review help in evaluating the findings
performed by some other scholar previously by critically evaluating about their view points. This
help in developing a base understanding about the area of study whi8ch is going to performed
based on previously established knowledge. This will support in identifying that whether the area
chosen for study is valid or not.
Further to represent the appropriate plan as well as milestone for the investigation a tool
is used which is named as Gantt chart. It is a graphical representation of set of activities
performed within a project along with their sequence as well as time taken by each of the
