Our purpose is to inspire the best quality health and care for everyone. Proudly part of the NHS, we work as an improvement partner with integrated care systems, organisations, teams and individuals, in the UK and beyond to:

  • Enable safe care by developing people and culture
  • Develop great leadership
  • Co-produce person-centred care with lived experience partners
  • Embed continuous improvement
  • Enable effective governance and regulatory preparedness

We address our customers’ complex needs from Board to the point of care, supporting them through project-based consultancy or long-term membership relationships.

Programmes

To support our work, we host a number of events, collaboratives and webinars that are free for members to attend.
