Empowering individuals, teams, and organisations to plan, implement, and lead improvement, with clarity and confidence.  

Led by experience. Inspired by connection. Driven by improvement.

I’m Sharon Mickan — leader, innovator, and facilitator of improvement.
 

After decades working across clinical care, academia, and health leadership, I created Mosaic Health Consulting to assist health professionals and organisations drive improvement in healthcare.

Over the years I have experienced increasing challenges, lack of time and understanding, competing priorities and pressures to improve within the health sector.  My journey has been shaped by curiosity, perseverance, and a deep commitment to helping others navigate the complexities of leadership. I’m here to share what I’ve learned, to inspire, and to collaborate towards creating meaningful impact in healthcare. 

Improvement starts with great ideas.

Every day you see opportunities to make your workplace more efficient, integrated and safe for your patients and colleagues. But with so many competing priorities it’s not always clear where to begin or how to realise your ideas.

You’re not alone.

Health professionals and leaders are under pressure to deliver better outcomes with limited time and resources.

Common challenges include:

• Not enough time or tools to plan improvements properly
• Feeling stuck, uncertain or overwhelmed by constant change 
• Surrounded by a risk-averse culture and tight performance deadlines.

I can help you navigate through these challenges with practical guidance, structured support, and facilitation that makes change achievable.

Ready to plan for implementation?  

Healthcare improvement is complex, but it doesn’t have to be confusing.

From Research to Reality: An Implementation Guide is a new online open access book that blends evidence, reflection and case examples to make implementation achievable in everyday practice.

Drawing on evidence, systems thinking, behaviour change and real-world experience, this practical guide helps you plan, implement, and evaluate change in your local context.

You’ll discover clear explanations, practical frameworks, and case scenarios to help you design, test, and sustain meaningful improvements. Whether you’re leading a small project or driving organisational change, this guide will help you connect research with reality and build confidence in your ability to implement effectively.
