The NHS Institute closed on 31 March 2013. This website is being maintained until the end of June 2013 so that registered users can download documents and view videos (but webinars are no longer available). Once this website is closed you'll be able to see all publicly available content on The National Archives website: http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/*/http://institute.nhs.uk.

Please note that from May 1st 2013 the ability to order our hard copy materials will be temporarily suspended as we finalise the closedown of the NHS Institute and complete the transition to NHS Improving Quality (part of NHS England). It will still be possible to download publications until this website closes, which is projected to be at the end of June 2013. It is currently anticipated that many of the materials will be passed onto NHS England and should become available again later this year.

Further messages on its future will be posted here over the coming weeks.

Where can I go for further help on rapid improvement events?

There is plenty of help available on RIEs, although most of it comes from the acute sector, the ideas are transferable to any care setting.

Within the NHS Institute we can provide support to direct your enquiries. Please review the NHS Institute’s main lean thinking webpages at http://www.institute.nhs.uk/lean.

There are a number of forums, such as the Lean Healthcare Network or the lean thinking sub-group of CHAIN3 (email-based improvement support network).

The following list of companies are known by the NHS Institute to offer RIE facilitation services and have experience in healthcare. This list is by no means exhaustive nor is any company listed endorsed in any way by Institute.
