The new NHS priorities do make sense but making shifts to deliver them will be challenging: '3 big shifts that will underpin our 10-year plan for health: from hospital to community from analogue to digital from sickness to prevention These shifts are not radical new ideas, but delivering them truly would be.   They’re necessary to tackle the challenges of our growing ageing society, rising levels of chronic disease and rising cost pressures; as well as to seize the opportunities of a scientific revolution in which AI, machine learning, genomics and data offer us the chance to transform our system of healthcare to one that can not only diagnosis earlier and more accurately and treat more quickly and effectively, but also predict and prevent illness.' https://lnkd.in/ee6CXRGf

NEW on Wonkhe: Universities might be able to transform without help, but public investment would bring pace and focus on national priorities. Alistair Jarvis sets out how a transformation fund could work https://lnkd.in/ePAHeb5d "A higher education transformation fund – bringing together finance and reform – could support significant reform of some institutions, enhancing their positive impact on society and putting them on a more secure financial footing. The transformation fund should be supported by government funding, aligned with the five government priorities for reform, but it should respect the autonomy of universities to shape their own specific priorities, decisions and future direction."

Very excited to be getting ready to go live early next year with our digital education health and wellbeing programmes in NHS Hertfordshire, led by Dr Sissou. Digital education will be reaching an excellent diverse spread of all the demographics, across 4 PCN regions in Hertfordshire. And counter intuitively as we learnt from Professor Joe Harrison, NHS Trust Chief Exec and Director of the NHS App, it's the older age groups who are adopting and using the NHS App more rapidly than everyone had anticipated. Here's a reminder of our course with Connect Health for persistent pain sufferers (see below), which is ultimately planned to be available via the NHS app across the whole of the UK. Other clients we're working with to give patients access to education on include Let's Dance with Angela Rippon (Dance is an incredible fitness tonic and mental health balancer) we have our flagship Live Longer Better to help those beyond 60, and especially with multiple health conditions, and dozens of others (including courses for maternity, obesity, mental health conditions, diabetes type 2, addictions and many others). If you're interested in us building digital health and wellbeing education programmes for you and believe it should be socially prescribed via the NHS - please get in touch! We'd love to hear from you! Below is a trailer for our Connect Health (persistent pain course). 375,000 patients are referred by the NHS to Connect Health per year.

I am delighted to announce that Susannah Howard will be presenting two insightful sessions at the Imperial College "Leading Systemic Innovation in Healthcare" executive education programme, offering invaluable perspectives and strategies for advancing healthcare. Susannah Howard is the Integrated Care Partnership Director of the Integrated Care System at Suffolk and North East Essex (#SNEE). She has pioneered initiatives that enhance collaboration across health, care and local #council services, focusing on creating cohesive, patient-centred care models. She brings practical insights from how SNEE has gone on the journey from transcending silos to systems of care and become the top performing ICS in the country. Session 1: This session will explore the development of Integrated Care Systems (ICS) in England. Susannah will highlight the systemic thinking that has led to the success of Suffolk and North East Essex #ICS. The key themes in this first session include: - Importance of #health and #care systems as #ecosystems. - Relationship-based vs. mechanistic thinking in healthcare. - Outcome-based approaches and future challenges. - Differences between outcomes, benefits, and outputs. - Importance of people and technology in change implementation. Session 2: Susannah will discuss the critical aspects of relationships, behaviours, and culture in creating successful integrated healthcare systems, while simultaneously addressing systemic #inequality and #injustice. Key themes in this session include: - Definitions of collaboration. - Relationship importance in system working. - Addressing systemic inequality and injustice. - Psychological concepts in #partnerships. - Leadership competencies for future healthcare leaders. - Strategies to shift from blame to accountability. Susannah Howard’s sessions on developing integrated care ecosystems and understanding behaviours and relationships in healthcare are essential for anyone looking to stay at the forefront of healthcare transformation. Her comprehensive approach will provide participants with a deep understanding of how to build effective integrated care models and embrace innovative leadership and cultural practices to improve #healthcare delivery.
