Success in Healthcare

Last Friday I was delighted to host a meeting of one of the Ecademy clubs I belong too (CEN). The event focused on issues relevant to Healthcare and we had a great mix of people, including some with extensive 'in house' expertise of working in the NHS.

What we discovered is that (not unsurprisingly) the opportunity for improvement is great, especially in the area of sustainable improvement (using a variety of tools such as Lean etc). It is perhaps one of the best environments for leading change - you have motivated and skilled people who share a common aim (delivering patient care).

However, the issues of 'improvement fatigue (IF)' and changing public priorities will make it a long and slow process to implement (and sustain) the benefits that individual trusts can realise.........fancy joining us to help make it happen?
