The Health Service Executive, Ireland East Hospital Group and The King’s Fund are our partners on the Co-Lead programme. These partnerships will:
- facilitate ‘research-in-practice’, allowing the design, implementation and evaluation of the collective leadership intervention;
- inform the programme through collaboration with research leaders at the forefront of the development of collective leadership theory and practice; and
- contribute to the dissemination of research findings, and the transfer of learning from the research into policy and practice.
The partner organisations bring together a strong team with the potential to have a significant impact not just on leadership and patient safety research, but on leadership capacity within the IEHG and ultimately within the HSE and NHS.
The Health Service Executive (HSE) provides all of Ireland's public health services in hospitals and communities across the country. Its services are delivered in hospitals, health facilities and in communities.

The King's Fund, founded in 1897 by the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) to help London’s voluntary hospitals, is an independent charity working to improve health and care in England. The King’s Fund:
- undertakes research and policy analysis;
- works with individuals, organisations and communities to build their capability, supporting them to adopt best practice and share learning;
- brings people together through events and networks to discuss and learn from evidence from the United Kingdom and across the world; and
- promotes greater understanding of health and care policy and practice - helping people to make sense of a complex and rapidly changing environment.
The King’s Fund has been involved in leadership development in the NHS since 1951, working with individuals, teams and organisations from across the health and care system to improve performance and support the delivery of high-quality care.
Vision:
The best possible health and care is available to all.
