Objectives & Delivery style
Objective & Delivery style
The objective of the Forum is to help senior health executives improve quality and productivity by making better use of management data and research evidence in their decision making.
Delegates and speakers are all leaders and all bring distinctive knowledge and expertise to the table. Delivery is therefore highly interactive and participative, and includes a mix of:
- Speaker-led workshops (in both plenary and break-out groups, co-delivered by multiple speakers and including substantial Q&A and floor discussion)
- Plenary presentations (including plenty of Q&A and floor discussion)
- Panel discussions (including short presentations by panellists plus substantial Q&A and floor discussion)
- "Dragons' Den" workshops (in break out groups, giving delegates a chance to work with other participants to refine their own proposal for improving quality and productivity)
We work with delegates and speakers in advance to organise the workshops and to ensure a coherent programme tailored to the particular interests of delegates.
The public spending squeeze makes it even more important that NHS leaders increase their ability to think through the issues and develop evidence informed, analytical solutions.
