A couple of weeks ago, FISCAL Technologies and Doug Reilly ran a great webinar on the theme of 'Maximising working capital and AP efficiency in the NHS'. After recent announcements of NHS league tables, the topic is even more relevant and now is the time to start looking retrospectively and proactively to the future.

Interesting article from FE News, and Robert West at the CBI (Confederation of British Industry), which looks at future skills policy in connection with the green agenda. https://lnkd.in/eibMERYX Good to see references made to identifying more than just skills gaps and linking this to specific sectors and even regions. Embracing training and fostering collaboration is also detailed and continues to be a key part of our own strategy for supporting the green agenda. #GreenAgenda #SkillsGap #Collaboration #FutureSkills

The Navy SEALs have a Mantra: Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. The latest blog from the Kings Fund is unfortunately unsurprising. Across the #HealthSector and the #AdultSocialCare there is a lack of understanding on clinical risk management standards - #DCB0129 and #DCB0160 - that are in place. Designing and/or implementing tech without undertaking these assessments increases the likelihood of adverse incidents, not learning from incidents and not improving systems. When users are faced with systems that are not fit for purpose they are less likely to fully buy in, increasing the chances of failure. The snow ball builds as then staff and leaders are likely to be wary of the next solution... Taking time to properly assess tech before taking it to market, or before deploying it into an organisation may seem like a barrier - however it is more like creating an environment which enables innovation to flourish.

Really enjoyed today’s Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust Trust Talk, a great way to support staff, provide updates & be held accountable as a member of the board as Acting CDIO with a hybrid audience open to all 10,000 of our staff. It’s testament to our Trust’s commitment to transformation that digital got such a focus, but glad I could contribute to other important topics including equality & diversity, workforce training, ICS collaboration, NHS finances and effective use of NHS estate/flexible working. #NHS #MPFT #MPFTdigital #digital #digitaltransformation
