This year the Improvement Academy has two exciting opportunities available:
1. Improving the Working Lives of Staff
The Leadership Fellow will be supported to develop a programme focusing on improving the working lives of staff. The programme will seek to understand the impact of compassionate leadership on staff-wellbeing, and its impact on patient safety and care. This aligns with strategic priorities of the NHS People Plan and the NHS Long-Term Plan to “look after our people” and builds on previous work already undertaken within the Improvement Academy.
2. Deterioration: the Impact of Safety Culture
The Leadership Fellow will work alongside experts to support the implementation of a patient safety culture. Ongoing projects include:
- Using patient voice to improve patient safety
- Supporting implementation of Martha’s Rule
- Exploring how to use the Prevention, Identification, Escalation, Response (PIER) approach with system partners
- Implementing the Just Culture Assessment Framework
If you are interested in either of the above roles and have any questions, get in touch: academy@yhia.nhs.uk
Applications close 27th November 2024 and interviews are scheduled for 16th December 2024.
