Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) Psychology of Change expert Kate Hilton joined the Q Exchange Psychology 4 Improvement (P4I) team on 31 March to share her knowledge in an interactive, co-produced session. An open-access recording of the event is now available to anyone interested in this essential, yet overlooked area of QI.
I’d highly recommend to colleagues
Open to the Q community and other interested parties, the session quickly reached full capacity with 74 colleagues from across the UK and beyond. Following this, the Psychology 4 Improvement Q Exchange team is pleased to share the recording for those who missed it or who would like to revisit the session.
Kate Hilton is author of the IHI Psychology of Change Framework white paper and the bespoke virtual and interactive session was followed by group ‘Spaces for Listening’ sessions hosted by Q member Charlie Jones.

The session was run across six core domains, so if you would like to skip to a specific domain, click the links below.
1. Adaptive Leadership & Mindset for Change
The psychology of change is about the science and art of human behaviour as it relates to transformation – introducing the Psychology of Change Framework.
2. Co-design People Driven Change
Those most effected by change have the greatest interest in designing it in ways that are meaningful and workable to them.
3. Co-produce in Authentic Relationship
Change is co-produced when people inquire, listen, see and mutually commit to one another.
4. Unleash Intrinsic Motivation
Tapping into sources of intrinsic motivation galvanises people’s individual and collective commitment to act.
People can contribute their unique assets to bring about change when power is shared.
Acting can be a motivational experience for people to learn and iterate to be effective.

Psychology 4 Improvement (P4I)
The one-day event for the Q community and other interested parties formed part of the P4I’s activities to build psychological and relational understanding among the improvement community to support more effective improvement work.
Psychology 4 Improvement won our Q Exchange bid in 2020 with the long-term aim “to develop a Psychology for Improvement community to lead, develop and role model the importance of Psychology for Improvement in delivering human-centred, sustainable improvement in health and care.”
This event came about as a result of the P4I project wanting to co-produce in three areas:
- a body of curated knowledge about the psychology of improvement
- practical resources that use psychological concepts to support change and are free for people to use and evaluate
- three networking events across the UK to disseminate resources and spread impact.
A network of Q members with a particular interest in Psychology for Improvement has also formed a growing community to share information, events and latest news with one another through the special interest group.
