Capability building

Our practical development programme offers are as below. These are available to all practices and primary care networks (PCNs) in England.

Digital and Transformation Leads Development Programme

This twelve-month development programme is specifically designed to equip individuals in the Digital and Transformation Lead ARRS role with the core skills to be able to lead transformational change.  From a deeper understanding of primary care level data, stakeholder engagement, improvement science and facilitation skills, delegates will have a range of materials to draw on to help make effective, continuous and sustainable improvements.

The programme comprises a five-day core programme, action learning, personal project work and individual coaching.

General Practice Improvement Leads Programme

This is a nationally accredited six-day programme, focusing on quality improvement tools and techniques (improvement science) for service redesign and leading others through the associated change.  Participants develop new skills and are able to take forward an improvement priority for their practice(s) by applying their learning. Applicants bring a small-scale improvement challenge to work on during the programme – for example improving processes such as care navigation, or specific recall systems or optimising the use of online consultation systems – and will share their progress and learning with peers at the end of the programme.

The programme is designed for those working in general practice. Staff employed by Primary Care Networks that work directly with practices may also apply.

Fundamentals of Change and Improvement Programme

An accredited short, practical programme held over two or three sessions, providing an in-depth introduction to Quality Improvement for those working in general practices and PCNs. Participants bring a specific problem or issue to work on.
