Future Nurse Notes LIVE!

How far along are we with the big shift from hospital to community?  We ask CNIOs from each of the two settings.  And we find out more about the WHO’s workforce optimisation plan and their call for case studies on exemplar innovation projects to help you make your submissions. We have loads of dates for your diary, and you’ve probably heard about Ambient Voice Technology, but we’re finding out more about Voice AI which monitors patient speech for diagnostic markers and asking how it can help nurses.

Supporting innovative nurses in bringing their ideas to life is key to the Future Nurse mission, in this month’s episode we find out about innovation incubators, accelerators and funding that can support nurses and midwives who have great digital innovation ideas.  We also explain how you can get involved in shaping the forthcoming Professional Strategy for Nursing and Midwifery in England as well as helping you give your feedback on clinical informatics maturity in the UK.  Plus, we’re rounding-up current nurse-tech news, especially from the field of neighbourhood-led health, and Natasha’s got a bumper crop of Autumn events dates for your diary.

We’re addressing two of the hottest topics in nurse tech this month – safely deploying ambient AI technology in nursing and trialling live language translation tech in out-of-hospital settings.  Natasha finds out how one NHS acute Trust is revolutionising the way documentation is created in outpatients, with listening technology that’s saving staff hours in admin time.  And we meet the Ambulance Service that has been testing a live translation device when emergency calls take them to patients who don’t have English as a first language.  Experts from our community share their fascinating insights!  Plus we have the usual round-up of news in nurse tech and a look forward at key events in the coming month.

Joined by nurse Matthew Wynne, author of “The Nightingale Effect”, Natasha is preparing for this evening’s Florence Nightingale Commemoration Service at Westminster Abbey, reflecting on how Florence is still very much relevant today and examining how she gives us confidence to drive our digital future.  We're also talking about digitising nurse guidance and education as Natasha launches an exciting new initiative and issues a call for trailblazing pilot sites.  It’s a busy month ahead for nursing tech events and the show is packed with diary dates and opportunities to get involved.

Natasha is joined by health tech industry colleagues from BT Health and Communities to discuss helping NHS staff be super cyber aware human firewalls and the CNIO from Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust speaks about a trailblazing training programme to support its staff in making transformative change using the rich data set that’s been collected in the Trust.  Plus, there’s news about funding that’s available through the National Institute for Health Research for innovations that are tackling healthcare inequality.
