The Health Foundation's Scaling Up Improvement programme:

The Health Foundation, an independent charity working to improve the quality of health care in the UK, has over £3 million available for up to seven project teams to take successful health care improvement interventions and deliver them at a larger scale.

As part of their new Scaling Up Improvement programme, they are looking for projects that aim to improve health care delivery and/or the way people manage their own health care. Projects need to show how ideas, interventions and approaches that have been tested and show to improve care at a small scale can be delivered at a larger scale.

The Health Foundation's Scaling Up Improvement programme:

· Is looking to fund projects at a care pathway, health board, clinical network, organisational, regional or national level;
· applications can come from any health or health and social care provider organisation in the UK where services are free at the point of delivery;
· teams should have a strong track record in change management, measurement and evaluation;
· due to the range of skills and experience required to deliver an improvement project of this scale, a number of organisations will need to work together in partnership;
· each project will receive up to £500,000 over two and a half years.

If you are interested in applying, please read the Call for applications on the website -www.health.org.uk/scalingup

The deadline for the first stage of the application process is 12 noon on 16 June 2014.
