Explore what healthcare organisations can do to improve the health of the population.  Delve into the agents that create health and learn more about the deployment of healthcare improvement around the world that focuses on health and not solely on care that is delivered in hospitals or healthcare settings.  

Reflect on the developments in healthcare improvement over the last three decades, and how we can continue to execute the improvements required and embed them thoroughly in the organisations that make up healthcare.  Examine the role of ELFT and other healthcare organisations in the co-production of health together with the people we serve.

Consider what the improvement community can do to equip themselves for the challenges ahead and how they can lead in the movement towards achieving health, not just healthcare.
