How can ICBs shift the digital focus from in-year to long term? In the current financial landscape, there is a strong focus on delivering in-year efficiency savings, and prioritising projects that return cash to the system in the short term. However, in an industry where it is known that the biggest outcomes, such as preventing lifestyle diseases, take place over a very long term. Dr Rima Makarem, Chair of Bedfordshire, Luton, and Milton Keynes ICB will be joined by other local leaders to consider how local systems can realistically embed digital for long term outcomes, and offer tips to those looking to build or offer longer term oriented solutions to local systems.Chairperson:

“From ink to Action”: Are NHS strategies transforming healthcare or collecting dust? The NHS system is awash with formal strategy documents, centrally, regionally and locally. But what are they and who writes them? Are they just “window dressing” or do they accurately reflect the aspirational realities of the organisations who create them? Once you’ve read one, have you read them all? And if you’re a healthtech innovator, how can a deeper understanding of NHS strategies help you to engage with the system? Join us for a deep dive into the thrilling world of NHS strategy documentation!” Chairperson:

How can listening to communities help us deliver tech for better care? All major NHS strategy emphasises embedding more services within local communities, and working across a range of stakeholder groups to achieve this. But when designing or redesigning local services in response, what does genuine co-design look like, how can the community play a more active role in the design, and what would communities want to see? These are questions The Health Foundation has been focusing on through funding proactive and preventative community-oriented tech initiatives. Jenna Collins, who leads this work for the THF is joined by leads from these initiatives to share their lessons, and insights into the reality of listening and design.Chairperson

Is the current NHS approach to technology empowering the frontline, and what can we do to improve this? Across NHS strategy, from the Long Term Plan to the Topol Review, great emphasis is put on empowering and upskilling the NHS workforce to at the very least be involved in digital initiatives, and at best drive it themselves. But are we actually achieving this, and if not why not? This panel session chaired by Liam Cahill, and joined by a group of clinical leaders, will consider whether enough agency is being granted to clinicians, whether the technology being implemented offers enough opportunities to empower and the training, skills and learning opportunities are building the right kinds of digital skills. In this session the panel members will offer their own tips and tricks for other NHS staff, and those building technology, to drive greater empowerment for and with 'digital'.Chairperson:

How can we get past the Catch 22 of evidenced but unproven tech When it comes to new health technology local systems and suppliers alike can experience the Catch 22 of ‘practical applicability’, or when a product or intervention is proven in isolation, but not proven in terms of integration within local systems. Local systems may struggle to justify commissioning without answers to practical questions, yet suppliers cannot answer these questions in isolation of these systems. In this session we will consider what can pragmatically be done on both sides, to help address this critical issue |

What could the role of ‘digital place’ be when considering the next NHS landscape? The principle of ‘place’ is baked into the current landscape offering connection to communities and a two way interface for systems. But when it comes to digital, which can often be big infrastructural projects and initiatives, what is the role of place and digital combined? In this session we explore what an ideal, tangible vision of place could look like, what reality looks like in a challenging landscape, and what needs to happen to ‘give place a place’ in digital. |
