Published on 1 December by NHS Improvement, ‘Developing People – Improving Care: a national framework on action on improvement and leadership development in NHS funded services’ has come at the right time for KQuIP. Recognising that education and learning are required to develop people to deliver the culture and drive for improvement, is an essential tenet of the development of quality improvement for renal services. KQuIP’s Development Workstream fully supports this new initiative.
The framework describes national and regional initiatives guiding actions on improvement skill-building, leadership development and talent management which will help create five conditions common to high quality, high performing health and care systems in every local health and care system in England.
The five conditions are:
Condition 1: Leaders equipped to develop high quality local health and care systems in partnership
Condition 2: Compassionate, inclusive and effective leaders at all levels
Condition 3: Knowledge of improvement methods and how to use them at all levels
Condition 4: Support systems for learning at local, regional and national levels
Condition 5: Enabling, supportive and aligned regulation and oversight
Evidence shows these five conditions shape cultures that enable people to continuously improve care, population health and value.
Daljit Hothi, Co-Chair of the Development Workstream for KQuIP, Daljit was involved in the development workshop for this new initiative
“’Every system is designed to produce the results it gets’ …. Batalden.
The NHS was designed in the 1940s to serve a different need from today. The current NHS requires us to challenge the status quo, to improve, to innovate, to make changes. With this in mind, leaders in the NHS require a different skill set.
We welcome this new strategy from NHS Improvement that recognises and encourages the development of new leadership in the NHS with essential quality improvement and change management.”
