Our daily lives are dominated by consumerism. Every day we encounter around 3000 messages which embed a narrative of humans as consumers. It’s time to rethink the dominant story of society and redefine what it means to be human.

After seeing the 'last mile' problem talked about on here in the context of public transport, I wondered if anyone had tried to apply the concept to public policy implementation more broadly. Turns out, yes! @MarcHarrisPhD

It is becoming increasingly accepted that traditional types of evaluation are unsuitable for complex change.
But what is the alternative?

A parallel health service is required to save an NHS struggling to heal an increasingly unhealthy public.
The creation of a “pre-NHS” focusing on preventive healthcare could unlock billions for the UK within two decades.

There is a pressing need to shift our approach to evaluation, placing a stronger emphasis on learning.

Learning is a critical component of complex change programmes. However, measuring system change presents unique challenges.
So, how should we rethink evaluation for system change?

This article should go right to the top of your reading list!
'Now we are all measuring impact — but is anything changing?'
Impact measurement is becoming a ubiquitous practice across various sectors, but "measurement does not generate magic".

An inconvenient truth perhaps for those impatient to scale best practice. @theQCommunity was co-designed with those working to improve care informed by the evidence. That led us from databases of ideas to designing great networks. If you’re in the uk and Ireland, join us!
12 Jul 2024
Improvement toolkits & good practice databases are useful but they only take us so far. As much as 80% of the knowledge in an organisation isn't written down. It's not a failure of documentation. it's to do with the nature of the knowledge and the way it gets spread. That's why it is critical that we make time & space for networks, communities of learning/practice, huddles & sharing conversations if we want change & improvement to happen: nickmilton.com/2021/11/why-y…. Thanks @nickknoco

What can we learn from 10 events with hundreds of attendees across the three days around what makes a system tick and change?
Here are my reflections 👇

NHS Horizons was proud to present at the @QualityForum 2024.
We used Rapid Insight to gather knowledge from this year's forum and summarise the core themes from a range of powerful sessions.

This is an outstanding article by @LauraJYearsley
"If insights are to influence policy change then they must be generated in time to meet the opening of a policy window. Too often we underestimate the speed at which complex policy decisions are made and the opportunity is lost"

A new UK Government means a new National Curriculum for PE.
While the aims of PE are hotly contested, who would disagree that a primary goal for PE should be to develop a positive and meaningful relationship in movement and physical activity for all pupils?

This is an excellent playbook by Asana for improving meetings. Organisations are naturally inclined to solve problems through 'addition'. When people are primed to subtract, they adopt a subtraction mindset and focus on the most important things

Rapid insight is an approach developed by NHS Horizons which turns data from highly interactive events involving large numbers of people, into knowledge that can be acted upon to positively affect change.

Very interesting recalibration of the health mission- to emphasise ‘prevention’ and a ‘neighbourhood health service’… feels like this creates space to open up a different relationship within places and with communities…

Latest update from @wesstreeting & the DHSC
- first visit to a GP PRACTICE not hospital 😲
- interesting new wording on the health Mission
