Delivering QIPP

through shared values and commitment
Residential Development Programme
Overview of preparation materials for trainers
WELCOME TRAINERS!
Thank you for committing to prepare one or several presentations for the call to
action development programme. You are about to embark on a challenging – and
hopefully rich – leadership opportunity together with the rest of the training team.
Resources to prepare yourself for your role are near boundless, but we have put
together a list of resources, which we expect will provide both the necessary and
sufficient preparation for your presentation. If you wish to dig deeper, the list of
readings in appendix 6 of the participant workbook provides a good starting point.
We look forward to working with you and learning together about taking collective
action to make real change for the NHS and its patients!
Your NHSI Thought Leadership Team
EXPECTED PREPARATION FOR ALL TRAINERS
