In Episode 6 we explore different system approaches to improving productivity, with two leaders who have been creative and collaborative in working to successfully reduce waiting times. Our guests are: Dr Peter Scolding, Clinical Director of Stewardship for Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Board, on recognising frontline leadership and developing a stewardship model for system working. Dr Ruth Gray, Assistant Director of Quality Improvement and Innovation at South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust, Northern Ireland, on using system eco-mapping to improve domiciliary care services. Peter talks about taking inspiration from the work of Nobel prize winner Elinor Ostrom to improve care pathways across Mid and South Essex, creating improved resource sharing and crucial reductions in waiting lists. Ruth shares her story of how her trust released 900 hours of domiciliary care, reducing waiting times significantly. They achieved this through workshops and conversations with stakeholders, staff and patients, that led to the creation of a visual system eco-map, identifying improvement areas for their domiciliary care service.

Ep 5: Equity
In this episode, we talk to two East London leaders who have been at the forefront of efforts to improve population health, with equity front and centre. Dr Guddi Singh is a paediatric doctor and co-founder of the Wellbeing and Health Action Movement (WHAM) - a powerful project bringing together children’s health professionals to fight poverty in clinical practice. Marie Gabriel CBE is Chair of North East London Integrated Care Board and Chair of the NHS Race and Health Observatory, working to bring anti-racism models into healthcare improvement. Guddi shares her work as a consultant paediatrician in Newham, East London, where she realised there was a big connection between improving services in the most deprived borough of London* and increasing levels of joy and commitment among the staff working there. She found the best way to engage people in quality improvement, was to start by asking what they care about most. Marie explores the importance of learning from patients’ lived experiences to improve services and tackle the structural racism that is embedded within those services. She talks about placing resident participation at the heart of the leadership team, engaging with and listening to local people about priorities for change.
