We led a two-year national programme to improve outcomes for people with uncontrolled asthma in partnership with the NHS Accelerated Access Collaborative and Health Innovation Network. It led to better identification of patients, upskilling of staff and streamlining access to experts. A paper published this week in the Pharmaceutical Journal summarises the approach and successes. Almost 5,000 extra people with uncontrolled asthma started getting life-changing biologic treatment with more than 3,000 fewer people receiving high-dose steroids which have significant side-effects.

This is absolutely correct. There are huge gains to be made in improving the health and outcomes of our population by partnership working, and it can be a powerful vehicle in driving innovation, research and economic growth. We are all scarred by the misdemeanours and misbehaviours of the past. And we know that huge multinational corporations know how to manipulate systems, governments and people (see the food, tobacco, alcohol and gambling industries) but I believe there are enough safeguards in place now in the ABPI code and organisational policies to embolden a new era of collaboration. This report helps to articulate the potential. Worth a read.

The NHS Federated Data Platform (FDP) has the potential to significantly improve how the NHS meets patient needs, both today and in the future. Here's how: >> Improved Care Coordination: > Reduced Information Silos: FDP connects patient information across different NHS organisations, allowing for a more holistic view of their health journey. This eliminates the need for repeated data collection and ensures healthcare professionals have the most up-to-date information to make informed decisions. > Targeted Resource Allocation: By providing insights into population health trends, the FDP can help Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) better understand their communities' needs and allocate resources more effectively. This can lead to improved preventative care, earlier interventions, and better management of long-term conditions. >> Enhanced Efficiency: > Reduced Administrative Burden: FDP can automate data sharing and reporting, freeing up clinician time from administrative tasks and allowing them to focus on patient care. > Improved Bed Management: Real-time data on bed availability across different care settings can help optimise bed allocation, reducing waiting times for hospital admissions and ensuring patients receive care in the most appropriate setting. >> Future-Proofing the NHS: > Data-Driven Decision Making: The FDP provides a platform for analyzing vast amounts of healthcare data, enabling data-driven decision making for service planning, resource allocation, and identifying areas for improvement. > Supporting New Technologies: The platform can be integrated with future digital health solutions, such as telehealth and remote monitoring tools, further personalising and improving patient care. Overall, the NHS FDP represents a significant step towards a more connected and data-driven healthcare system with the potential to significantly improve how the NHS meets the needs of patients, both now and in the future.

Top expert in NHS data usage, Jessica Rose Morley, PhD, took to X.com with a pithy dissection of how that data is being collected and shared. “A fundamental problem is that NHS, health, social care, & public health data (you need ALL) are stored in 00s siloed wide but shallow databases, and flowing all over the place. We need to focus on *depth* not just *breadth*. “... policy must focus on quality. Giving researchers broader access to poor quality, missing, messy, uncurated, ill-formatted etc. data will not achieve much.” Is the penny finally dropping for her policymaker audience? Over and over again, those policymakers have told NHS organisations: “here’s a specification, send this data to us”, followed inevitably by expressions of astonishment that the resulting data submissions are riddled with inconsistency and error. Yet they knew full well that the data was coming from a huge variety of IT systems, all configured differently. There is no magic wand for good data quality. Every field and every data table have to be consistent and correct in both structure and meaning, which Insource’s Unified Data Layer (UDL) achieves after around two dozen meticulous transformations, with localisations injected at the right stage along the way. And it’s why we don’t take derived fields on trust, instead we recalculate things like age and responsible commissioner afresh using the correct rules. The NHS is now embarking on a new wave of data collection and aggregation, to be used for many things like performance management, research, and local analytics. Those organisations who submit data in the usual way will get the usual result. But if you would like your data to be useful and accurate, then something more is needed... so drop us a line: https://lnkd.in/ejP99zNN Nadine Carey-Whitehead Graham Bennett Rob Davenport Tim Eltze Greg Stevens Adrian Owen Rachel Lane Donna Smith https://lnkd.in/eFNPVV2v

The NHS is committed to leveraging data to improve patient outcomes. But harnessing the full potential of tools like Microsoft 365 and Power Platform requires specialised skills. In partnership with Microsoft and QA, a comprehensive training programme was delivered to over 1,500 NHS staff across 230 organisations. This initiative focused on equipping healthcare professionals with key skills in: - Data visualisation and analysis with Power BI 📊 - Low-code app development with Power Apps ⚙️ - Collaboration and productivity with Microsoft Teams 🤝 This initiative has not only enhanced data literacy within the NHS but also empowered healthcare professionals to make more data-driven decisions, ultimately improving patient care. As Christopher Brierley-Roberts-Roberts from Microsoft Worldwide Learning shared, "QA have been fantastic to work with... Their extensive experience of delivering training solutions to the NHS really underpinned the whole programme effort.” Read the full case study to learn more: https://lnkd.in/ekPHUJGz #NHS #DataSkills #DigitalTransformation #Microsoft365 #PowerPlatform #LearningAndDevelopment #Training

Transforming the NHS: A 10-Year Digital Vision for Better, Faster, Smarter Healthcare The NHS is here to stay, evolving to meet the needs of future generations through technology, prevention, and community support. 🤖 The new government’s ambitious 10-year plan for the NHS envisions a healthcare system that’s ready for the future, with an emphasis on three pivotal changes: moving from hospital-centred to community-centred care, transforming from analogue to digital systems, and shifting focus from sickness treatment to proactive prevention. At the heart of this transformation is a comprehensive digital patient record accessible via the NHS App, designed to empower individuals with control over their health information. This single, integrated record consolidates a patient’s history, test results, and medical correspondence, giving both patients and frontline staff a more complete picture of health, ultimately reducing repeat tests and medication errors. What’s in it? 👥 For patients: A smoother, faster healthcare experience with enhanced control over their health data and more preventive care options using wearable tech. 👩‍⚕️ For NHS staff: A streamlined workflow, with smarter data-sharing estimated to save over 140,000 hours each year, allowing them to focus on what truly matters—patient care. 🏘 For the community: Neighbourhood health centres will bring care closer to home, easing hospital burdens and ensuring people get timely, personalised healthcare. The government is actively inviting input from health-service staff, sector experts, and the public through the Change NHS website, creating an unprecedented platform for shaping this transformation. This is a unique opportunity for everyone to contribute insights and help shape an NHS that meets the needs of future generations. At Larkspur, we're proud to play our part in this transformation by helping our clients navigate the UK's complex healthcare system with in-depth knowledge and a commitment to driving meaningful change. ✨ #NHS #HealthcareInnovation #DigitalHealth #HealthTech #HealthcareTransformation #FutureOfHealthcare #PatientCare #CommunityHealth #PreventiveCare #DigitalTransformation #NHSChange #HealthEquity #WearableTech #PatientEmpowerment #PublicHealth #SmartHealthcare
