Productive Community Services - about the programme

Productive Community Services is an organisation-wide change programme which helps systematic engagement of all front line teams in improving quality and productivity.

It is a practical application of lean based techniques that will vastly increase the organisation’s capacity and capability for continuous improvement.

With community services playing a crucial role in the shape of the new NHS, and care shifting away from acute services, the new Productive Community Services programme from the NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement is a timely opportunity to revitalise the workforce and increase NHS capacity to care for patients in local settings.

• Increase patient-facing contact time
• Reduce inefficient work practices
• Improve the quality and safety of care
• Re-vitalise the workforce
• Put staff at the forefront of redesigning their services.
