The Lean Healthcare Academy has recruited NHS Leeds as its 21st member organisation.
Established in 2006, the Ilkley-based academy works in partnership with healthcare sector providers seeking to adopt and implement lean working practices as a foundation stone for sustainable service transformation.
Members include NHS trusts, acute trusts, care trusts, primary care trusts and district councils, that have access to a range of services enveloping staff training, development and implementation support, and flexible online e-learning programmes.
The Academy has also launched a regional training centre at its founding partner Airedale NHS Trust’s Airedale General Hospital.
