Online guide from NHS Providers to serve as roadmap for tackling health inequalities. NHS Providers has launched an online guide designed to support NHS board members in tackling health inequalities, with the aim of the resource acting as a “roadmap” to enable people to “champion health equity and create positive change”. The guide includes a self-assessment tool covering 25 questions around data, evidence and evaluation, strategic leadership and accountability, system partnerships and more, with the tool to provide a score and maturity rating of the trust’s position across key domains. A “bespoke” set of health inequalities objectives are then suggested by the self-assessment tool, with NHS Providers encouraging trusts to use these as a basis for board-level discussion. Read the full article, here: https://lnkd.in/gJT_wCty The larger trend 🌐  🌐 In November, we reported on Amanda Pritchard’s speech to the NHS Providers Annual Conference in which highlighted the role of virtual infrastructure, digital platforms and data architecture as “increasingly important” in the health service for their potential to “support patients to get what they need more easily”: https://lnkd.in/gA96VcyC 🌐 Last year we also interviewed David Williams, head of policy and strategy at NHS Providers, and heard about his views on funding and prioritisation, how digital can add value and efficiencies, and more: https://lnkd.in/g4Pu392w 🌐 On health inequalities, we highlighted how a digital healthcare hub has been set up in South Yorkshire with the aim of developing health technologies and tools which can utilise data to support patient outcomes and tackle inequalities: https://lnkd.in/gV5Di5VG #healthtech #digitalhealth #NHS Subscribe to our newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/eBbNiEZD Register for our expert health tech virtual events: https://lnkd.in/eeQdrnhN HTN Awards 2024 deadline to enter: 19 June 2024: https://lnkd.in/e3f_xuhE
