The Oxford Academic Health Science Network has established a unique programme with Buckinghamshire New University to help NHS staff managing change and adopting innovation.

Applications can be submitted now for the fourth cohort starting March 2018. The net has been widened this time in to include not just frontline healthcare staff, but also managers, partners and commissioners.

This open evening is an opportunity to find out more about the programme and hear from some of the people who have benefited from it.

The programme provides the tools, skills, knowledge and understanding needed to successfully implement innovation and change. It is funded and supported by Health Education England Thames Valley and is free to participants employed by NHS organisations, accountable care systems or sustainability and transformation partnerships within the Oxford AHSN region.
