We draw on decades of collective experience in public health, evaluation, and systems change — translating complex evidence into tools and frameworks that work in practice.

Each partnership is unique, but what we hear most often is that QfO brings clarity, structure, and confidence to the complex work of health promotion and prevention.

Q-STEP is an innovative health promotion quality assurance system that enables the delivery of robust population health initiatives. Implementing Q-STEP will greatly improve the way DPV Health’s Population Health Team plan, implement, evaluate and review health promotion initiatives.
DPV Health were proud to partner and pilot Q-STEP. The process adopted by the QfO's team for developing the quality standards and accompanying tools was collaborative and iterative. Throughout the pilot, they generously shared their wisdom, expertise, knowledge and experience with the DPV Health team, tailoring their approach when collaborating with different departments. The Q-STEP Quality Assurance System will improve the effectiveness and impact of our health promotion efforts and create efficiencies by streamlining processes across all stages of health promotion initiatives. I would highly recommend Q-STEP to health promoters. The partnership with QfO not only resulted in improved quality systems and processes, but also delivered professional development outcomes, by building the Population Health Team’s capacity to deliver impactful population health initiatives.

The Q-STEP development has supported discussions around planning and evaluation within the Population Health team at DPV Health. The discussions have led to mutually agreed processes and structure in designing and executing projects while also establishing comprehensive evaluation metrics, tools and systems at the planning stage of the project.
Q-STEP has provided clarity and confidence in approving project commencement for management and project officers, knowing that all components have been well thought through, align with project principles, have measurable objectives to maximise impact, while scaling for future expansion and sustainability.
Working through this process of fully customising our planning and evaluation tools with QfO's team was a real pleasure. Their professional yet easy manner, was engaging and rewarding for the entire team. Thank you!

Attending QfO's workshops on Evaluation for Health Promotion was a very valuable experience. The workshops gave our team a shared language for talking about evaluation and a consistent approach across our team’s projects.
The topic of evaluation can sometimes seem daunting, but QfO's facilitator put the group at ease, guiding us through complex concepts using clear explanations, relevant examples, and hands-on activities. These activities gave us an opportunity to put our newfound understandings and skills into practice, and I now have greater confidence in applying these to my own work. Elizabeth Sleeth

The evaluation workshops I recently attended at DPV Health were expertly facilitated by the QfO team. I very much valued the Q-STEP templates and tools and have since used them to apply evaluation concepts to my health promotion project planning.
The workshops were clear with easy-to-understand guidance on how to develop project objectives. QfO facilitator's sophisticated understanding of public health concepts ensured relatable examples which made complex concepts easy to understand. Consequently, I feel increased confidence in my ability to assess different types of data methods and how to report on them. I highly recommend these workshops to anyone working in health promotion planning. Lucy Forwood
