Transformation in health: What's working in NSW and the NHS

In partnership with Q5, a consulting firm that focuses on organisational health, NSW Health joined a panel for a stimulating discussion on the 'Transformation in health: What's working in NSW and the NHS'.

The National Health Service, aka NHS, is the publicly funded healthcare system in England.

In this session, the panel shares their perspective on innovation, standardisation, leadership, and the power of collaboration across the system. The panel challenges conventional notions of leadership and encourages organisations to embrace change and diversity in pursuit of success.

The panel consists of:

  • Tamara Lee - Ministry of Health Future Workforce Unit Director
  • Jacqueline Dominish OAM - Health Professional Workforce Unit Director
  • Professor Jonathon Gray - Q5, Director of Improvement & Innovation at Cardiff & Vale University Health Board, Professor of Innovation Swansea University, and an Advisory Council Member at the Centre for Healthcare Improvement, Singapore. He is a global authority on large-scale change in healthcare with 30+ years of experience (failures and successes!).
