Since its creation in 1948, the NHS has had to move with the times. But while change is an ever-present feature, can the NHS approach it in a different or better way? In this bonus episode, Matthew Taylor puts the question to Dr Richard Jones and Dr Llinos Jones from the ChangeACADEMY. The academy – a programme offered by AstraZeneca (AZ) in collaboration with the NHS Confederation – creates change leaders that can deliver strategic, system-level change on behalf of NHS organisations for the benefit of patients. Richard, a faculty member, and Llinos, alumnus of the academy, shed light on the academy’s approach to change and how it’s improving patient care and outcomes. They also unpack how to untangle the knotty issues of spreading and scaling good practice and innovation across the NHS.

The ChangeACADEMY programme is a non-promotional service which is initiated and funded by AstraZeneca and offered to the NHS as Donated Goods & Services. Intended audience is UK healthcare professionals and other relevant decision makers. The service is offered to clinical and non-clinical personnel who represent NHS healthcare organisations and meet the delegate criteria. The views and opinions expressed here are those of the speakers. GB-65042, DoP: March 2025.
