Is change the only constant in the NHS?

Since its creation in 1948, the NHS has had to move with the times. But while change is an ever-present feature, can the NHS approach it in a different or better way? In this bonus episode, Matthew Taylor puts the question to Dr Richard Jones and Dr Llinos Jones from the ChangeACADEMY. The academy – a programme offered by AstraZeneca (AZ) in collaboration with the NHS Confederation – creates change leaders that can deliver strategic, system-level change on behalf of NHS organisations and the patients it serves. Richard, a faculty member, and Llinos, alumnus of the academy, shed light on the academy’s approach to change and how it’s improving patient care and outcomes. They also unpack how to untangle the knotty issues of spreading and scaling good practice and innovation across the NHS. This podcast episode has been developed in collaboration with AstraZeneca. Guest speakers have been contracted by AstraZeneca. This episode is intended for UK Healthcare Professionals and other Relevant Decision Makers. The ChangeACADEMY is a non-promotional service initiated and funded by AstraZeneca and offered to the NHS as Donated Goods and Services (DOGS).
