As the Care Quality Commission (CQC) faces a period of significant change, all eyes are on Sir Julian Hartley, chief executive of NHS Providers, who is poised to take over as the regulator's next CEO. This leadership shift comes at a crucial time, with recent reports highlighting a need for stronger healthcare expertise at the senior level. The interim findings, led by Penny Dash, emphasised the challenges in building trust between the CQC and NHS providers, a gap that has created obstacles in healthcare regulation. Sir Julian Hartley is seen as the ideal candidate to drive reform. His impressive record as chief executive of Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust, where he led a remarkable turnaround, has earned him respect across the healthcare sector. With over a decade of experience in the field, he has consistently called for urgent changes at the CQC, particularly criticising the use of single-word inspection ratings, advocating instead for a more holistic approach to evaluating care services. As women in healthcare leadership, we understand the complexities of healthcare regulation and the importance of nuanced, effective leadership. Sir Julian’s focus on collaboration, transparency, and fostering strong relationships within healthcare aligns with the values many of us hold dear in this field. His leadership style, which emphasises inclusivity and respect, is particularly meaningful for female healthcare professionals striving to make a difference. In parallel, the CQC is launching a recovery campaign to restore trust with both the public and providers. The regulator is recruiting five new communications roles aimed at promoting transparency and accountability—key elements in rebuilding confidence in its regulatory oversight. As the CQC enters this next phase, led by Sir Julian Hartley, the healthcare community will be watching closely to see how his leadership will shape the future of healthcare regulation in the UK.

"We've already started to see positive progress in terms of our waiting list size in the first two weeks. Within this timeframe since the unit's been open, we've scoped an additional 336 patients." Kathryn Kelter, Head of Operations for Planned Care at the University Hospitals of North Midlands.   We're thrilled to see the positive impact of University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust mobile endoscopy unit. By delivering diagnostics more timely, the solution eases the pressure on hospital services, helping UHNM meet NHS England's target of eliminating overdue surveillance procedures.    EMS Healthcare’s mobile unit was quickly commissioned and operational within just five weeks, demonstrating the benefits of rapid installation to provide capacity wherever and whenever it's needed most.    The mobile endoscopy solution provided by EMS Healthcare and Medinet features two diagnostic rooms and its own decontamination facility. It is operational seven days a week and aims to facilitate 4,500 appointments, giving patients timely access to essential tests.   Currently, there are over 7.5 million unresolved care pathways affecting an estimated 6.4 million individuals in England, with nearly 4 million pathways contributing to a significant backlog accumulated over the last decade. In an NHS environment, maintaining patient care is crucial, a fully–managed mobile clinical space can provide a valuable alternative to closures, refurbishments and decant of facilities. The temporary infrastructure can rapidly boost capacity, mitigate disruption and maintain patient care standards. If you require help with reducing waiting lists and increasing capacity for diagnostic tests, watch our video to see how we can support.

This article from The BMJ identifies seven priority areas the NHS plan must tackle to remove barriers in providing a comprehensive healthcare system. "With winter coming, the very first steps should be to ensure that basic services are delivered in key places of demand. Following this, immediate priority should be given to tackling inequalities in access and outcomes." Read more: https://lnkd.in/eDWc5S5i #NHS #healthcare

Our Patient Engagement Portal has helped North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust to save over £1500 per month on missed Gastroenterology outpatient appointments alone. Imagine the savings across all outpatient services! Back in January Kath Tarn, Head of Outpatients and Place Based Care, said: “Since we began trialling the new booking system for our outpatient gastroenterology appointments, we’ve had more than 7,000 appointments managed via the app. Our research shows patients find the system really easy to use and it’s also reduced our number of missed appointments by an average of ten per month. Each missed appointment costs around £150, so that’s £1,500 saved every month."
