First Steps towards an Agile NHS
summary
A Mersey & West Lancashire Acute Trust runs Agile courses trust‑wide in 2024, taught by a clinician‑certified scrum master, and partners with Scrum Inc and the MOD; practical wins include using Trello and async boards to deliver an emergency surgery pathway (saving ~£100,000) and keeping a cancer service running during COVID with 10‑minute stand‑ups (NHS Parliamentary award 2022). Over 200 staff train in under a year, 40% request deeper coaching, and simple changes to planning, timed estimates and debriefs start reducing delays.
