The NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement is offering all commissioners from health and social care the opportunity to combine leading thinking with practical methods to deliver a step change in the health and wellbeing of their local community through promoting innovation in service delivery.
When it comes to the ways that health and social care services are delivered, members of the public, professionals and policy makers are increasingly asking for different results. If we continue to do what we’ve always done, we will get the results we have always got. So, we need to do things differently, and do different things: to innovate.
Dr Lynne Maher, Head of Innovation Practice at the NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement, and Paul Plsek, an internationally renowned expert in innovation and improvement, are delivering a series of practical workshops that introduce the key concepts outlined in their most recent publication ‘Commissioning to Make a Bigger Difference’. Click here to download the executive summary.
It is suggested that teams of at least four people attend and that the team is made up of commissioners from primary care trusts, practice based commissioning consortia and local authorities. You will need to nominate a lead member who will register all members of the team.
Teams of more than four will be considered, but the additional delegates will be put on a reserve list and confirmed nearer the event.
Your team should agree, in advance of the workshop, on two or three service innovation ideas that you would like to assess and, perhaps work further on, during the workshop. These can be service innovations that have already been implemented or piloted (in which case, please bring with you a summary of any data or evaluation), or innovative ideas that are just being discussed at the moment.
The workshops are offered at no cost to NHS England but a fee of £150 will apply for non-attendance (if the conference office is notified less than 48 hours in advance of the event to which the individual was registered)
