90-day Thinking Bigger Better Bolder – ‘Unlocking Potential’ Programme
Hear from your sponsor
Advanced Clinical Practitioners (ACPs) are uniquely positioned to lead this transformation. Working across professional boundaries and at the forefront of service delivery, ACPs have the skills, influence, and insight to identify opportunities for improvement and drive meaningful change within their teams and organisations. However, demonstrating the impact of these changes is essential to securing support, sustaining improvements, and showcasing the value of advanced practice.
This 90-Day Improvement Programme has been designed to equip ACPs with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to lead successful improvement initiatives. Through a proven improvement methodology, participants will work collaboratively with peers to identify challenges, test solutions, measure outcomes, and evidence the impact of their work. By the end of the programme, you will have developed practical improvement skills, delivered a measurable change project, and contributed to creating new ways of working that support the future of NHS services. ”

The second will help you identify where to focus your thinking to make the differences you want.
