This research project is funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) NIHR Health Services and Delivery Research (HS&DR) Programme. It is a 3-year study, intended to evaluate the effectiveness of the North East Transformation System (NETS) in the NHS in North East England.

The research team is led by Professor David Hunter (Centre for Public Policy and Health, CPPH, Durham University). Other researchers include staff from the CPPH at Durham University, Newcastle University Business School, and the Institute for Health and Society, Newcastle University.

The study will examine and assess the implementation of the NETS' use of Vision, Compact, and Method to bring about transformational change in NHS North East organisations.
