The West of England Academy supports people across health, care and the voluntary and community sector to make sense of complex challenges and take practical steps forward.
We work with real problems, real contexts and real constraints, helping people learn while doing. This helps bridge the gap between what people know, and what they put into practice. Find out more about the Academy in our short video series.
I need clarity on a challenge
If things feel unclear, stuck or hard to move forward, start with our Creative Problem Solving Toolkit or join us for a Discovery Workshop. Contact us to find out more at healthinnowest.academy@nhs.net.
I am leading change or improvement
If you are working to improve services, ways of working or outcomes, check out our Field Guide to Improvement or book onto one of our upcoming events.
Our experienced team are also available to design and deliver facilitated sessions for teams and organisations in our area who are looking to develop the mindsets, shared language, and trusted tools for innovation and improvement. Contact us for a free, no-commitment chat at healthinnowest.academy@nhs.net.
I need practical tools
If you want something useful, realistic and easy to apply, check out our free tools and resources to support creative thinking, quality improvement, facilitation and resilience. Browse our online resources and toolkits that you can use straight away.
Subscribe to our QualiTea podcast. Each episode is a short, informal chat focusing on one simple improvement tool. They’ll use relatable examples and talk about how you might actually use it in your day-to-day work to help you think a bit differently about a problem. Not in theory, in real life.
Prefer to talk it through?
A short conversation can help clarify what support would be most useful! Connect with us for a chat at healthinnowest.academy@nhs.net.
