The National CLEAR Programme

CLEAR, which stands for Clinically-Led workforcE and Activity Redesign, is a nationwide programme placing clinicians at the heart of healthcare decision making and innovation. 

It is the only national programme that simultaneously supports workforce and service redesign projects and trains frontline clinicians to deliver them. The programme hosts multiple projects throughout the year to tackle national health and care priorities. The CLEAR programme is hosted at East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust and delivered by NHS staff and 33n.  

CLEAR has supported and empowered clinicians through more than 50 innovation projects, and provided rapid support and training to the NHS during the COVID-19 pandemic. It continues to support the NHS in restoring and transforming services with ongoing projects across its priority areas.
