Collaborative Masterclass: Unlocking sustainable productivity

NHS North West Leadership Academy, Mersey Internal Audit Agency (MIAA), Advancing Quality Alliance (Aqua), North West Employers (NWE) and the North West Association of Directors of Adults Social Care Services (ADASS) work in partnership to bring you a series of collaborative masterclasses. Together they are an influential partnership formed from cross sector organisations in the North West that represent the NHS, health and social care and local government.

This masterclass will help health and social care leaders reframe productivity as a driver of sustainable improvements in care quality, not just a mechanism for meeting financial targets. Building on the NHS Productivity Commission’s call for a new narrative, the session will explore how productivity gains can enhance patient outcomes, staff experience, and system resilience.

Objectives:

• To explore the challenge of improving productivity within the NHS and wider sector and examine how a shift in mindset and narrative may support
• Understand why productivity should be viewed as a lever for improving care quality and sustainability, not just meeting financial targets
• Diagnose barriers and enablers, identifying systemic challenges such as underinvestment, poor patient flow, and fragmented initiatives, and propose strategies to overcome them
• Champion cultural change and demonstrate how leadership and governance can foster a culture of continuous improvement and trust
