Learning and improvement networks
To support improvement work across the NHS we have established 16 learning and improvement networks. These networks, combined with improvement guides and analytics, will further support delivery of the best and most effective care possible for patients.
Led by chief executives and operating on a regional footprint, the networks will provide an opportunity to bring clinical and operational leaders together to learn from each other and share best practice.
