What will I learn on the programme?

You will develop an understanding of how to develop teams and relationships that foster a culture of improvement and enable the best from all.

Working in a safe space, you will be part of a network of peers; learning together, sharing challenges and successes, developing ideas, and creating long term support networks.

We will ask you to challenge and develop your thinking, creativity and knowledge to help you grow as an improvement leader. Lots of support will also be available as you apply this learning in the workplace in order to help you, and your team to flourish, now and in the future.

The Hewitt Review: An Independent Review of Integrated Care Systems

The Hewitt Review, a comprehensive independent review of integrated care systems (ICSs), has now been published.

The much anticipated review proposes greater freedoms and local autonomy, a focus on promoting population health, and unlocking the potential of primary and social care.

What Should Safety Look Like at System Level?

Aqua recently convened a selection of expert panellists to a Round Table discussion, considering ‘What should safety look like at a system level?’

The Round Table was chaired by Professor Ted Baker, who led the discussion around the key issues facing Integrated Care Systems and how we can help support their development.
