Event: Learning from rapid improvement and innovation during COVID-19

Rapid innovation and learning have been at the heart of our immediate response to coronavirus (COVID-19). It is important that the conditions and ways of working that have enabled innovation to thrive are not lost in the rush to return to business as usual.

This workshop was hosted by the Health Foundation’s Q community, and delivered in partnership with the NHS Confederation and the AHSN Network as part of the NHS Reset campaign. 

Through a mix of presentations and interactive, collaborative group sessions, the event was held to make sense of the rapid changes that have taken place through the COVID-19 pandemic, and how to use this learning to enable good decision-making now and in the future.

The event offered:

• space to learn about and discuss the major shifts and ways of working that have enabled innovation and change to happen at pace
• opportunities to learn from people working in the system who are taking practical steps to respond to emerging opportunities
• time to identify risks for the future and think about what good would look like in your system, organisation or team.
