Is data the key to transforming healthcare systems and patient care?

What are the top priorities for digital transformation leaders in the NHS? How can Pharma and Medtech companies partner with the NHS to share data, transform services, and find smarter, faster way to improve patient care?

Prof. Phil Richardson (Chair and Chief Innovation Officer, Mtech Access) is joined by Stephen Slough (Chief Digital Information Officer, NHS Dorset) to explore how, through the catalyst of partnership, new technologies and data have the potential to transform healthcare.

We have reached a point where digital is so ubiquitous that, even in the NHS, what were previously seen as ‘digital’ transformation projects are now viewed as simply business transformation projects.

Add in advancements in artificial intelligence and ChatGPT-type services, along with the potential of big data, and it’s no surprise that digital is at the heart of transformation in the NHS.

In this episode, Phil and Stephen explore:

 - The digital landscape for NHS decision makers
 - How, when and where data can transform healthcare systems and patient care
 - How the NHS and industry can get access to and share our data to better plan products and services
 - What the top priorities are for digital leaders
 - How industry build strategic partnerships with Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) and other NHS leaders driving data-led transformation

Will NHS leaders, as part of an Integrated Care System (ICS), make conscious decisions to drive economic and social change?

What social and economic value do ICSs offer the wider population they serve? How will industry support ICSs to deliver population-based health and social benefits?

Prof Phil Richardson (Chair and Chief Innovation Officer, Mtech Access) is joined by Michael Wood (Head of Health Economic Partnerships, NHS Confed) for a far-reaching discussion around system integration, population health management, and the NHS’s social and economic potential.

In December (2022), Michael Wood authored a report exploring one of the four key purposes of an ICS: to help the NHS support broader social and economic development. Michael’s NHS Confed report looked at the economics of healthcare and where broader strategic partnership working might lead system thinking in the NHS.

Phil Richardson was one of several experienced ICS, local authority, university and professional experts that Michael invited to share their perspectives in the report.

We were delighted to bring Michael and Phil together in this webinar to discuss these topics, particularly in light of what these new leadership purposes mean for the NHS’s relationship with the Pharmaceutical and wider Life Science industries.

In the webinar, Phil and Michael discuss:

• NHS Confed and the links between the health sector and the economy
• The need for ICS leaders to focus on broader social and economic development
• How Pharma and Medical Device companies can add value to support this key ICS purpose
• Why health and economic development is key to tackling health inequalities
• The important role the NHS plays as an anchor institution that links better health with economic and social development
• What health and economic development could mean for funding at different levels of an integrated system – e.g. place based commissioning
• Opportunities for industry to step up and support the NHS with economic and social development

The proposed new NHSE systems for specialised commissioning are arguably the highest risk of all current dynamics, both for the NHS and for suppliers. Key aspects or policy have been published in ways that are hard to access and even harder to interpret. Here, we gather an expert panel to discuss what proposed new NHSE systems for specialised commissioning mean in practice.

In this episode, we explore:
 - What’s new for Specialised Commissioning and what’s set to change?
 - What are the potential implications of the proposed changes recently published?
 - Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) and their increasing role with Specialised Commissioning
 - What this means for the NHS and for industry in practice

The episode begins with an overview and analysis of the changes from David Thorne (Principal Associate, Mtech Access and Business Development Director, Well Up North PCN). David then opens up a broader discussion about the implications of these changes with our guest panellists James Curtis (Deputy Operational Director, Gloucestershire NHS Foundation Trust) and Mohammed Asghar (ICS Prescribing Governance Lead at Frimley Health and Care ICS).

The episode was originally broadcast as a live webinar on 2nd December 2022.
