This document introduces 43 indicators for quality improvement for voluntary, local use in a community setting. These carefully chosen quality indicators are designed to assist local service improvement and help to raise the standard of care delivered to patients and communities. The indicators are grouped into the following categories: health and wellbeing; children and families; acute care; rehabilitation; long term conditions; end of life; general. To get the best from the community indicators, it is important to select those that measure what is valued and what matters to the people who use local services, and which instigate and inform dialogue about where improvement is needed. These indicators should help clinicians and frontline services to measure and monitor quality improvement, by indicating where change is needed and demonstrating what high quality personalised care looks like.
