The Productive Integration guide will help you and your team work through issues such as understanding other people’s roles, attitudes and shared values, whilst focusing on the patient through a workshop which is designed to aid integration of teams.
The guide is designed to provide assistance in bringing either two or more teams or an already integrated team composing of various disciplines together, in order to explore opportunities to improve integrated care by joint working on Productive modules. It is suitable for use across all of Productive programmes. For more information please click here.
The Productive Leader: Releasing time to lead™ programme
The Productive Leader is a systematic, evidence-based programme which can help you look at personal, team and organisational activity and instil a culture of improvement at all levels of your organisation. This programme is as much about behavioural change, as it is about looking at the processes we have in place to do our day-to-day work. By adopting and embedding best practice in how we manage our workload, run meetings and deal with email, we can get the best out of ourselves and our teams.
The Productive Leader can help you and your team to release the time to reinvest in value-adding activities and enable you to make the decisions that matter.
The Productive Leader is part of the NHS Institute's Productive Series. Based on lean principles, the Productive Series resonates with staff as it empowers them to drive improvements. As a participant in the programme, you will be empowered to ask challenging questions about current practices and make positive changes to the way you work.
