Rethinking Productivity in the Public Sector and the NHS
About this Event

About the event

Productivity is often discussed through the lens of the private sector, yet some of the most significant productivity challenges – and opportunities – lie within public services, particularly the NHS. With an ageing population and rising demand, improving outcomes while working within finite resources has become increasingly critical.

This event will explore the systemic drivers behind NHS productivity challenges and consider what these insights mean not only for healthcare, but also for other large, complex organisations operating under sustained pressure.


What to expect

This event will explore how productivity can be understood and improved in the NHS and how systems may need to evolve to deliver better outcomes over the long term.

The session will begin with a short presentation from Tera Allas about the 'From Diagnosis to Delivery: A framework for accelerating NHS productivity growth' report. This presentation will be followed by a panel discussion and open Q&A. There will be a networking drinks reception following the session.

Please note, this event will be hybrid. When you register, you will have the option to select either an in-person ticket or an online ticket.


Panellists:
  • Tera Allas - Chair of The Productivity Institute’s Advisory Committee, co-chair of The Health Foundation's NHS Productivity Commission and Honorary Professor at Alliance Manchester Business School
  • May Li - Director of Efficiency at NHS England
  • Kieran Walshe (Chair) - Professor of Health Policy and Management at the University of Manchester

Who should attend?

This event is designed for a mixed audience, including:

  • Academics and students interested in management, leadership, policy and impact
  • Public sector and NHS leaders and practitioners
  • Policymakers and system leaders
  • Anyone interested in productivity, wellbeing and system-level change


This event is delivered by The Productivity Institute and Alliance Manchester Business School.
