If used correctly the 5 Moments concept provides an opportunity to enhance & reduce healthcare-associated infections but the healthcare provider organisation must embody a 'just culture' & collect the data in a climate of openness, transparency, & learning" Cole (2024). #ivteam

NHS managers/team leaders at (Agenda for Change) bands 6-8a directly supervise up to 80% of our NHS people. These “frontline” team leaders have an outsize influence on NHS performance.
Yet:
- They don’t have a big collective voice in opportunities to improve NHS productivity
- Only a small proportion of leadership development budgets in the NHS target them
Tomorrow I'm spending the day with four NHS systems identifying potential opportunities to unleash the potential of frontline managers and team leaders to lead change.
For more on the latent power of frontline leaders, see, eg: bcg.com/publications/2017/so… by @BCG.
