PART 1: Integration, integration, integration – improving lives of babies, children and young people 

In the context of improving the lives of babies, children, and young people, integration is the provision of seamless care irrespective of organisational boundaries.  The babies, children, and young people multi focus collaborative was designed to shine a spotlight on this and use the lens of Quality Improvement to advance the agenda further.  Teams from across London came together (under the broad objective of impacting care for babies, children and young people) to set their aims and designed interventions tackling a specific area for improvement.  This session will demonstrate how to use multi focus collaboratives to drive service improvements.  

As a result of this session, participants will be able to:

• Understand the role, purpose and function of multi focus collaboratives in driving improvement


• Develop a deep appreciation of how integration can lead to improved services


• Learn about specific interventions that worked for babies children and young people in London

PART 2: Improvement 101: learning from a population health improvement approach 

Lancashire and South Cumbria ICS has a leading-edge population health academy and is one of 7 accelerator sites in England participating in the NHS England/IHI Core20Plus5 Breakthrough Series Collaborative. This is the first time we have brought together our Population Health Academy with local improvers to share learning, test interventions on a small scale (inch-wide, mile deep) whilst simultaneously developing our Scale up and Spread plan to extend the work across our whole ICS.

In this session, speakers will share learning from the Academy and the IHI Core20Plus5 Breakthrough Series collaborative, including the challenges, barriers and successes from the improvement programme.

As a result of this session, participants will be able to:

• Understand how to create and build a social movement for improvement to flourish


• Reduce health inequalities effectively through connecting population health with improvers


• Understand the critical success factors for culturally competent communications and co-design to reduce health inequalities


• Understand the values needed for this work to flourish
