In April 2022 Amanda Pritchard, NHS Chief Executive asked Anne Eden, Regional Director for the South East to lead the Delivery and Continuous Improvement Review. The review considered how the NHS, working in partnership, can both deliver effectively on its current priorities and continuously improve quality and productivity in the short, medium and long term.
The review was conducted over 7 months and involved more than a thousand people, including patients, clinicians, improvement specialists and leaders from partner organisations (including local government), as well as colleagues from a range of integrated care systems and NHS organisations.
The review’s recommendations were consolidated into three actions, which were endorsed by NHS England’s Board:
- Establish a national improvement board to agree a small number of shared national priorities on which NHS England, with providers and systems, will focus our improvement-led delivery work
- Launch a single, shared ‘NHS improvement approach’
- Co-design and establish a Leadership for Improvement programme.
