Improving the quality of health services is central to current attempts to reform the National Health Service. The main approaches to quality improvement in communicable disease control to date have been the development of practice guidelines and audit projects. Descriptions of the impact of quality initiatives in public health generally and communicable disease in particular have been limited, objective measures of quality are rare and few reports outline improvements that have been achieved in practice. We describe a project to develop a set of quality indicators for meningococcal disease control. A set of candidate indicators was developed and screened using standard approaches based on local consensus. We outline how they could be further tested and used to promote quality improvement.
