• To explore the UK approach to health care reform within a highly challenging political and economic climate
• To identify new system design options for the delivery of improved health outcomes, greater control for patients, and improved accountability and affordability
• To discuss some of the lessons learnt from the UK which could be applied in order to help shape Australian health care reform under a minority government
• To consider the attributes of effective leadership at each level of the health care system.

Learning Outcomes

1. A clearer understanding of the politics of a minority government with a particular emphasis on health care reform
2. An awareness of examples of UK reform successes (and failures)
3. An insight in to a variety of methodologies available for designing and improving patient flows in order to provide care closer to home
4. An appreciation on how to adjust leadership style in order to influence and respond to rapidly changing political landscapes.
