“
Our aim is to enable cultures at every level of the NHS where people have the leadership, tools and
support they need to improve care, health outcomes, value for money and feel pride and joy in
their work ”
This work is being led by a national board…
From what we know, there are five conditions for success..
Collective leadership and transformation across local health and care systems
Compassionate, high impact leadership capability and capacity at all levels
A learning system: supporting organisational infrastructures and a joined up system of
support at local, regional and national level
Improvement capacity and capability at all levels
An enabling, supportive and aligned oversight environment
Our priority change ideas are…
developing compassionate and inclusive leaders at
all levelsmainstreaming improvement
skills
making knowledge and experience more
accessible
bringing more improvement principles
into regulation
improvement and leadership as part of
all curricula
managing talent consistentlyat all levels
changing the regulatory
conversation
And we are committed to moving…
from directive to compassionate
from siloed to collective
from “do as I say”to “how can I help?”
from commanding to collaborative
from unequal to inclusive
