UHUK - Quality Assured

Members of UHUK came together yesterday for an insightful and energising ‘work-in’ brilliantly hosted by Liz Cross, Liz Allen, and Tara Bryer from The Connectives.

The purpose? To further develop a shared 'quality assurance framework' (working title) that clearly demonstrates the collective impact of UHUK’s social enterprise members on healthcare outcomes.

Building on previous benchmarking activity, this work marks a shift towards a more consistent and meaningful way of capturing outcomes and social value – one that reflects the real-world differences our members are making, both locally and at scale and has a clear line of sight to the national priorities of moving care into the community, preventing ill health and shifting from analogue to digital.

Members took time out of their busy schedules to participate in a lively and thought-provoking discussion. We explored the outcomes that matter most – now and in the years ahead – and how we can measure our success in achieving them. We identified clear next steps, both individually and collectively, and reaffirmed the value of working together, and building a robust evidence base for the sector.

We’re excited to continue this work and look forward to seeing how it shapes our shared approach to quality, impact, and continuous improvement.

A huge thank you to everyone who contributed so positively – and a special shout-out to our friends at Hempson for generously providing the meeting space and lunch.
