Improvement has grown as a field as our learning and ambitions have evolved from tackling quality issues in clinical microsystems to seeking to shift outcomes for populations. This session will reframe how we think about what constitutes improvement and challenge us to think together about what’s needed longer term to deliver on the goal of much larger scale transformational change.

How far are we thinking about long term future health and care and the change approaches needed to get there? How far are the changes we’re introducing supporting the radical innovation needed, or helping optimise models of care that are fundamentally outdated? What role can improvement play in supporting transformation at scale in a way that supports transition from current service models? What modes and mindsets do people working in improvement need to make progress to tackle whole system challenges?

This workshop will introduce thinking from across the UK and Ireland and pool ideas from participants to explore the future of improvement, using a model that helps people think about the multiple horizons of change.
