Can improvement and innovation save the NHS? A lecture by Prof Mary Dixon Woods

A highly recommended watch for anyone interested in leadership, patient safety, quality improvement and implementation. That is, if you haven'y yet come across it.
Mary Dixon-Woods' lecture Can improvement and innovation save the NHS? is both thought-provoking and refreshing. It provides an opportunity to pause and reflect on where we are in our improvement journey.
Among the many nuggets is a reflection on the "priority thickets" described in recent NHS literature, and the reality that health systems are often trying to improve everything, everywhere, all at once.
One observation particularly resonated with me. Reflecting on decades of inquiries and reports into healthcare failings, she notes that sometimes the only thing that changes between one report and the next is the font.
A sobering thought.
The good news is that this lecture is not simply a critique. It also points towards practical ways forward, supported by evidence, resources and examples.
An hour very well spent.
