The patient journey - the one I had, the one I would want

Jen Gilroy-Cheetham, Programme Manager, Innovation Agency
@Gilroy19

Jen fell seriously ill two years ago and recalls how her care left her feeling unsafe. She makes a plea for a different way of doing things, in which staff work as a team, a patient’s feelings are acknowledged and it is clear who is in charge of an individual’s care.

Workforce: context setting, importance for the system, need to think differently

Karen Partington, Chief Executive, Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
@PartingtonKaren

In planning to fill workforce gaps, we face a number of questions: how do we fully exploit new technology? How do we accommodate the needs of various age groups in our workforce – traditionalist, baby boomers and Generations X, Y and Z?

Disruptive thinking about the future of our workforce

Wilson Wong, Head of Insight and Futures, CIPD
@DrWilson_Wong

As we scan the horizon of possible futures, a series of questions arise: how do we know that technology won’t have a negative impact on our workforce? How do we ethically store data? And how do we ensure sustainability in a new social contract between state, corporations and workers?

Helen Birley, Clinical Lead for the Coordination Centre, Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
@TheCountessNHS

A patient’s 106-day stay in hospital prompted a review that led to the development of a coordination centre. This ‘air traffic control’ system uses teletracking to allow managers to know where patients are at all times.

David Harris, Director of People and Organisational Development, Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust
@Dave_E_Harris

Only by acknowledging the complexity of our ever-changing health and care systems can we begin to make a difference. The spider is the individual at the centre of a web of relationships. Pull at a corner of our interconnected world – and it collapses.

Killing digital - making technology less intimidating

Ian MacIntyre, Head of Digital, NHS Leadership Academy
@IanMac196

We can make technological change less frightening by changing the dialogue: we should talk about opportunities, not threats. We should understand our user community’s attitudes towards technology and create a non-threatening environment in which to talk to them.
