UNLOCKING NURSING POTENTIAL
Inefficient e-rostering meant one NHS Trust relied heavily on nursing agency support which in turn meant high agency costs, low stability, poor efficiency and a detrimental impact on nurse wellbeing.
90 leaders (band 5 to Chief Nurse level) undertook 30, 60 & 90-day improvement challenges using our solution focused methodology and practical problem solving toolkit. The results were fantastic!
- A collective mindset shift in just 30 days
- £758,000 agency cost savings achieved in 90 days
- Key clinical indicators turned from red to green

CHANGING CULTURE ONE CONVERSATION AT A TIME
Unproductive meetings and ineffective 1:1 conversations is a common cultural problem for many NHS Trusts. Cultural transformation requires a shift in mindsets (not just processes) to embed a new way of thinking.
One Trust shifted their culture by developing 40 ThinkOn® ‘Master Coaches’ to improve and remove their meetings and conversations using a proven 12-point implementation plan. This led to:
- More purposeful and productive conversations
- Enhanced continuous improvement activities
- A practical problem solving toolkit being widely shared

SECURING £1.5 MILLION IN FUNDING
