Theatres are the engine room of a hospital.
 
Continuously improving theatre performance means a continually improving hospital performance.
 
Recognising that effective theatres is more than just about productivity, Amnis and our partners at DNV and Terema have developed a multi-disciplinary and multi-professional approach to transforming theatre performance.
 

The Amnis Newsletter is a free information service that offers hints, tips and downloads to help you get the most out of your service improvement and Lean programmes.

Amnis were introduced to Circadian by our partners at DNV during 2008 because of the close association between the effective management of people and the effective management of process that are Amnis's trademark.
 
We are delighted to announce a new partnership with Circadian (http://www.circadian.com/) who specialise in organisational work patterns to both improve productivity and safety.
 
More details will follow in the near future.

Understanding and applying lean successfully

Amnis's Mark Eaton will be presenting at the Advanced Commissioning Course run by the Improvement Foundation to over 170 delegates on the 21st January on the benefits and pitfalls of Lean in Primary Care and across the health economy.
 
With experience of working with over 20 PCTs, Amnis are able to bring to life both the highs and the lows of Lean in relation to a wide range of topics relevant to commissioners, including World Class Commissioning, APOs and building in quality and patient experience into the commissioning cycle.
 

Amnis are delighted to announce the launch of our 2009 Training Brochure.
 
Covering all five areas of the skills and capability building we provide (Lean/Six Sigma, Team & Project Development, Strategic Thinking, Risk & Patient Safety and Organisational Development & Change) the brochure is available in 'soft' copy or printed versions to commercial and public sector organisations who want to improve their organisational capability and skills.
 

During 2008 Amnis trained over 2,500 people in a wide range of skills from Lean to Cultural Change and from Value Stream Mapping to People Based Project Management.
 
Of the total of 2,500 people, over 1,000 were trained on our flagship 'Improvement Practitioners Programme' and 'Accelerated Lean Skills Programme' which included those who attended the Open Programmes we ran with Southampton University Hospitals NHS Trust and Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust, as well as our highly popular open programmes we ran in Oxford and Manchester last year.
 

Amnis's Jim Byers will be presenting at the Lean & Six Sigma Conference on the 21st January 09 in London at 14.40. Jim will be presenting on the step-by-step guide to running Rapid Improvement Events.
