Frontline staff ''to become part of NHS continuous improvement efforts''The health secretary has said that NHS staff will be able to improve their leadership skills in a push to achieve continuous improvement at the service.

Speaking to mark the 63rd anniversary of the NHS on Tuesday (July 5th), Andrew Lansley announced that a new national Leadership Academy will be developed to help frontline staff get involved in operations management.

He suggested that trials in Cambridgeshire have already seen diabetes patients receive better care by allowing those who treat them to gain the management skills to run their own departments.

"By establishing the Leadership Academy today I want to help all doctors and nurses develop the leadership skills they need to drive a truly world-class NHS," Mr Lansley added.

The Department of Health recently reported that at the end of May 97.3 per cent of NHS patients had waited under six weeks to be treated, although this was down from 97.5 per cent in the previous month.ADNFCR-3058-ID-800614438-ADNFCR
