Health Innovation Yorkshire & Humber

📢 Celebrating our work in 2024 As we are nearly at the end of 2024, we are reflecting on our work this year. 💡 As part of our role to assist in the identification of the best solutions for our health and care systems across the region, we help to demonstrate the benefits of new services and products through real-world evaluations. We supported Lenus Health's funding application to the Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI) to implement its digital solution in Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. The project analysed the effectiveness of Lenus Health’s solution in improving the management of patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and in reducing adverse effects, especially emergency admissions. Results showed that: 🔶50% reduction in A&E attendance by COPD patients. 🔶50% reduction in hospital admissions for patients with COPD. 🔶Improved quality of life reported by patients. 🔶Over £1,500 cheaper and more effective, per patient per annum, than the current standard of care You can find out more about the project in our Impact Report: https://ow.ly/CW1y50Ump0Y and in this video 👇 York Health Economics Consortium #COPD #ImprovingPatientOutccomes #Innovation

“In the UK alone, around 60 million inhalers are prescribed annually, accounting for roughly 3% of the NHS’s total carbon footprint.” In this blog, Dr David Linden, Workstream Lead for Respiratory, explores how controlling asthma can be good for the environment as we explore a project that works towards the NHS’s evolving responsibility in sustainability. Read the blog in full and find out more about the SENTINEL PLUS initiative, which is at the forefront of addressing the environmental impact of inhalers. https://lnkd.in/eJxCcHVq David Linden, PhD MBA Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust #Sustainability #GreenerNHS #Asthma #NHS #Innovation

📢 Celebrating our work in 2024 💊 The national polypharmacy programme focuses on #improvingpatientoutcomes by highlighting the value of Structured Medication Reviews (SMRs) SMRs are a conversation between a #patient and their #clinician about their medication to make sure what they are taking is still the most appropriate for them, ensuring they get the best out of their medicines. Across our region, the polypharmacy programme has been instrumental in supporting frontline primary care staff to improve #medicationmanagement by increasing the uptake and use of the resources available through the programme. More than 80 clinicians across Yorkshire and the Humber have undertaken polypharmacy action learning set training available through this initiative to enhance their knowledge and skills. Through the work of this programme, we are aiming to create #sustainablechange and reduce #healthinequalities.

✨  A year in review ✨ Commissioned by the Accelerated Access Collaborative, we developed an innovation framework, designed to encourage stronger and more effective collaborative working between all stakeholders involved in developing innovation adoption action plans. 👄 As part of the project, we interviewed patients with lived experience of using one of five innovations that are part of the MedTech Funding Mandate and Rapid Uptake Product programmes and associated care pathways, which are captured in the report ‘Driving Innovation Uptake Through Patient Insight’. ▶️ https://lnkd.in/eTP5M22X   These insights have informed the development of a framework, which includes practical steps for those seeking to accelerate the adoption of innovations - ‘A Framework for Driving Innovation Adoption Through Patient Insight’. ▶️ https://lnkd.in/eRjvCcg6 The framework was built by aligning what matters to patients with actions that innovation leads can take at various points along the care journey. The framework encourages stakeholders to systematically identify and resolve inequality in service access and provision to minimise inequity in patient care outcomes.  #patientvoice #healthinnovation #patientengagement #healthinequalities #healthpartnreships

Good work, what is it and how can we achieve it? We’re joining the Yorkshire and Humber Good Work, Health and Skills Summit today in Leeds discussing how we can work collectively to support people to stay health and in good employment. 🏅 We’re proud to champion these efforts. This year, through our YHealth for Growth partnership with Yorkshire Universities and the NHS Confederation, we’ve been highlighting the vital connection between health and work. Yorkshire and the Humber faces a significant challenge, with the third lowest employment rate in England and 2.8 million people out of work due to long-term sickness. That’s why we’ve been convening regional partners to share best practices and develop solutions — from supporting individuals with ill health back into work to helping those currently employed maintain their health and stay engaged in fulfilling careers. ✨ Yorkshire and the Humber is perfectly positioned to pilot innovative, devolved solutions that address health and economic disparities. By working together across sectors, we can build pathways to meaningful change and create opportunities for everyone to access good work. Our YHealth for Growth white paper offers 10 actionable recommendations for local leaders to drive this mission forward. Across Yorkshire, innovative initiatives are making a real difference in tackling the challenges of work, health, and economic inactivity: 💡 Barnsley Council's Pathway to Work — supporting individuals into sustainable employment 💡 West Yorkshire Combined Authority Fair Work Charter — promoting good work practices 💡 South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority's Working Win — helping people with health conditions stay in or return to work 💡 Leeds Anchor Network — leveraging local partnerships for economic and social impact Let’s continue to work together to create a future where everyone can access secure, fulfilling employment. 💼✨ #Collaboration #GoodWork #HealthandWork #EconomicInactivity #GetBritainWorking Tom Riordan CBE, Michael Wood, Peter O'Brien, Nicola Corrigan, Jennifer Connolly, Kate O’Connell, York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority, West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership, NHS South Yorkshire ICB, NHS Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB), Health Innovation Network

💪🏼 The Innovation for Healthcare Inequalities Programme (InHIP) has shown the power of local collaborations to tackle national challenges. Over 12 months, the Innovation for Healthcare Inequalities Programme (InHIP) has supported local teams across England to address healthcare inequalities. By focussing on the Core20PLUS5 priority areas, over 34,000 underserved individuals have benefited from improved access to healthcare innovations. Key achievements include: 🟠 Boosting cancer screening uptake in underserved communities 🟠 Delivering cardiovascular health checks in community hubs 🟠 Collaborating with local organisations to overcome barriers to care ⚽ The link between sports initiatives and health, aimed at improving access to services for underserved populations across Yorkshire and the Humber, is one of the many case studies featured in the report. This initiative sought to address healthcare disparities among underserved groups. By partnering with Yorkshire Sport and their Active Partnerships, the public health team engaged with individuals who typically do not access healthcare services. Integrating health services with sports helped to enhance the accessibility and approachability of health advice. You can read more about this initiative on page 37 of the report. Explore this and other case studies in the InHIP Impact and Learning Report and see how local successes can drive national change. 📑 Read the report here https://lnkd.in/e6MTTSWB
