    Abstract
    Introduction Clinical leadership and organisational culture are important contextual factors for successful Quality Improvement (QI) programmes. The relationship between these and with organisational performance is complex and poorly understood. We aimed to explore the relationship between leadership, culture of innovation, and clinical engagement in QI for organisations participating in a large-scale national ambulance Quality Improvement Collaborative (QIC). Methods We used a cross sectional survey design. An online questionnaire was distributed to 22,117 frontline ambulance staff across all 12 ambulance services in England. Scores (0 –100%) were derived for each key aspect: clinical leadership; culture of innovation; use of QI methods; and effectiveness of QI methods. Responses to an open-ended question were analysed and complemented the quantitative findings. Results There were 2,743 (12%) responses from 11 of 12 participating ambulance services. Despite only a small proportion of responders (3%) being directly involved with ASCQI, leadership behaviour was significantly higher for ASCQI members than for non-ASCQI members. Involvement in ASCQI was not signi ficantly associated with responders ’ perceptions of the culture of innovation of their organisation, which was generally considered to be poor. ASCQI members were signi ficantly more likely to use QI methods but overall uptake of QI methods was low. The use of QI methods was also signi ficantly associated with leadership behaviour and service tenure. Limitations There was a low response rate, although suf ficient responses to enable comparison of those who participated in ASCQI with those who did not. Conclusion and recommendations Although participants reported a lack of organisational culture of innovation, considered a prerequisite for QI, the collaborative achieved significant wide-scale improvements in prehospital care for myocardial infarction and stroke. We postulate that improvement was mediated through a ‘QI subculture ’ developed from ASCQI ’ s distributed leadership and network. Further research is needed to understand success factors for QI in different complex healthcare environments. https://emj.bmj.com/content/emermed/32/5/e9.3.full.pdf This is an Open Access article distributed in accordance with the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial (CC BY-NC 4.0) license, which permits others to distribute, remix, adapt, build upon this work non-commercially, and license their derivative works on different terms, provided the original work is properly cited and the use is non-commercial.
