Improvement
Advancing leadership and embedding improvement approaches across health and care.
The NHS has the potential to secure a stronger and more sustainable future if we invest properly in leadership development and improvement. This is why we have further developed our leadership and improvement work, using our unique position as convenor of leaders across the whole health system to support our members in a more practical way.
We work with experts in leadership and improvement, including Q which is part of The NHS Alliance, to help members access proven approaches and practical solutions to transformation challenges, creating the conditions for effective and lasting change.
Our member-only forums and development programmes offer an opportunity to step back, reflect, learn and gather support from peers, and to take away practical insights to apply to your own context.
We deliver high-impact development programmes, consultancy and learning offers, partnering across the NHS and beyond to build leadership and organisational capability, address sector challenges, and enable improvement at scale.
Benefit from:
- Expert-led programmes
- Better decisions through insight and learning
- Practical support that drives real-world change

Helping you to develop service transformation improvement strategy in priority areas. Sometimes this could involve the opportunity to learn with peers about how to redesign care pathways in particular areas. Or for a reduced member rate, we can provide bespoke support to your local system.
Quality Management Systems Support
We help organisations build an effective approach to sustained high performance. This will equip you to respond effectively to the new quality strategy.

With support for boards and those leading implementation.
