Vanguard Programme (UK)

The Vanguard Programme is an initiative in the UK aimed at improving the delivery of public services, particularly in health and social care. Launched in 2015, it focuses on fostering innovation and collaboration among local services to provide better care for patients. The programme encourages "vanguard" sites, which are leading organizations, to develop and test new models of care that prioritize integration, efficiency, and patient-centered approaches. By sharing successful practices and learning from one another, the Vanguard Programme seeks to transform public services to be more responsive to community needs and challenges.
