Executive Roundtable: Lessons from the NHS-VMI Partnership Evaluation

Developing a culture of continuous improvement is an imperative as healthcare organizations face unprecedented challenges and strive for sustainability. Join our executive leadership panel for a virtual roundtable discussion and learn about crucial lessons from Warwick Business School's recently published independent study of the NHS-VMI partnership. The research reveals the effectiveness of applying a systems approach to learning and improvement across five NHS trusts in partnership with NHS Improvement. We’ll explore crucial lessons for leaders as they work to improve patient outcomes, population health, access, equity, and the overall patient experience, even during disruptions like the Covid pandemic. This includes:

• Leadership models, behaviors and practices that were observed to be essential components of leading change in organizations
• How to enable “partnership” ways of working through practices and mechanisms that foster and maintain collaborative ways of working
• Cultural elements necessary for the successful adoption of an organization-wide improvement program


Please note: This one-hour webinar roundtable will be recorded and registrants will receive a link to the recording following the session.
