ReportImproving quality in the English NHS: A strategy for action
Our report, which calls for a single quality improvement strategy for the NHS in England, offers 10 design principles to guide the development of the strategy. However, the authors warn, it will take time for such a strategy to deliver results.

I am also very interested in and excited to hear about the "Public Library" concept.
I am taking a career break from general practice and have a number of projects on the go, relating to engaging communities in their health & well-being. One idea I have started is to set up a reliable signposting resource for the community. Like you say many people are searching the internet for information before they come but often come for reassurance that their diagnosis and information is correct. Therefore creating a validated hub that they can access which contains very many of the resources we use, may reduce the need to appointments or at least make patients more empowered when they come in and know who they might be best placed to see. It could include useful apps / IOT. It worries me that there are so many devices out there being marketed to those that are more vulnerable.
I'd really love to hear more information about this project and see is there is a way of linking up / getting involved. Kate
The Kings Fund will be able to bring together the change agents within the NHS and the change agents within The Public Library Service concerned with "Health and Wellbeing" to further develop and support the work of the NHS GP and the Primary Care Team .
