We’re delighted to announce that the Q community has a new home with the @nhsconfed.org​. Building on our strong existing partnership, we will together champion collaborative, bold, inclusive and purposeful improvement that spans sectors.
I’m delighted to be welcoming Q to the NHS Confederation. This is an exciting development for us as we continue to build our leadership and improvement support for our members, who will benefit hugely from Q’s expertise and experience. Matthew Taylor Chief Executive, NHS Confederation Now, further embedded in the NHS, we are in a strong position to see the Q community’s impact grow at a time when collaborative improvement is needed more than ever.

Join our next meet up to try the Liberating Structure Panarchy.

Learn how it can help you to become more alert to small changes that can spread ideas. With a better appreciation of the dynamics, you can create ​‘opportunity windows’ for innovations to spread among levels and across boundaries.

Urology patients in Birmingham & Solihull faced long delays after COVID. Hospitals tried to manage the backlog but were limited by traditional systems.

This primary care team, supported by Q Lab, created a community-based pathway using virtual appointments, local clinics, and quicker tests.

While making her new BBC Radio 4 series 'Three Ages of Child', Q member @drguddisingh.bsky.social​​ journeyed across England to ask the questions our health service avoids.

In this piece, Guddi shares what she learned along the way and asks what the answers mean for improvement.
"I wanted to ask the questions our health service avoids, listen to the people it too often fails to hear and learn how improvement can help. That impulse led to Three Ages of Child." - Guddi Singh Paediatrician, Founder of WHAM & PhD Candidate, King’s College London.
