New podcast series: Leading Improvement in Health and Care

As part of the Learning and Improving Across Systems partnership between NHS Confederation, Q and the Health Foundation, we’ve launched a new podcast series. Leading Improvement in Health and Care explores the learning and experiences of people making change across systems. 

Hosted by Penny Pereira, Managing Director of Q at the Health Foundation, and Matthew Taylor, of NHS Confederation, each episode aims to spotlight where improvement is working well, as well as the challenges along the way. Joined by speakers from a variety of roles, we’ll explore the ways improvement can sustainably transform health and care. 

Whether you've been leading improvement for years, or are curious about its relevance to your role, this podcast is for you. 

The first episode – Morale – is now live and explores how to improve staff engagement. Director of Patient and Staff Experience at the Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Annie Laverty, talks about talks about using data to understand what matters to staff and enhance engagement. 

We also hear from John Drew, Director of Staff Engagement and Experience at NHS England who discusses using the NHS staff survey to steer improvement and how we might engage people better on productivity.
