Lean Healthcare

Is your Lean programme delivering the results you want?

Service transformation in the NHS has contributed a great deal towards the achievement of national targets, financial recovery and service improvement. Real productivity gains, however, have been more difficult to sustain, and many trusts are now turning to Lean to help them realise their strategic aims and operational objectives.
Lean is a philosophy that helps people to understand how to see and eliminate waste and maximise process flow through the organisation. Although well established in other industry and service sectors, Lean in the NHS is a relatively recent phenomenon.

Lean conferences, training courses, books and articles are on the increase; all demonstrating what Lean can achieve as a tool for improvement in an organisation. Nevertheless, implementing Lean and putting the theory into practice can be somewhat daunting. WCI has over 20 years’ experience in Lean, including healthcare and a wide range of service and manufacturing industries. We have developed a proven modular approach to Service Transformation adopting Lean principles, helping to deliver practical improvement solutions whatever the size and stage of a Service Transformation programme.
