👩‍⚕️ 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐎𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐇𝐒: 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐍𝐇𝐒 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 🏥 Today at GIANT Health Event I enjoyed the fireside chat where health policy analyst Roy Lilley interviewed Richard Meddings, the chair of NHS England. Hugely popular session, standing room only! Here are some of the highlights: 🌍 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞, 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞, 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞! 👉The healthcare workforce shortage is not just a UK issue. Nations are competing for talent, making recruitment increasingly difficult. 👉Upskilling allied health professionals (AHPs) and expanding training pathways is vital. 👉While long-term workforce plans are necessary, they’re only one part of the picture. 📱 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 🔸NHS App: This is evolving into a powerful hub, but integration with legacy systems remains a challenge. Progress has been made, with 44,000 healthcare systems moved to the cloud—more work still needed. (https://lnkd.in/eEgUP3ZW) 🔸Federated Data Platforms: Tools like Palantir are providing a “translation layer” to unify data across institutions, ensuring interoperability and analytics potential (https://lnkd.in/eakTYhu5) 🔸NHS Number: This universal identifier could hold the key to connecting health records into insights on economics, habits, and preventative care. 🔸AI in Action: From ophthalmology to breast screening, AI is already helping diagnostics. Ambient documentation pilots (voice-to-text tech) are also underway, promising significant time savings for clinicians. 🏥 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬: 𝐀 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲? 🔸With 95,000 hospital beds operating at 97% capacity, virtual wards are a key strategy for tackling overcrowding. 🔸Over-65s make up 25% of the population but drive 50% of hospital admissions and 74% of bed occupancy. 🔸Proactive virtual care for conditions like UTIs could reduce unnecessary admissions and free up critical capacity. 🚀 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 🔹NHS Priorities: Digital, prevention, and community-based care will be central to the long-term plan (https://lnkd.in/e2XVyXaa) 🔹Exponential Innovation: We’re achieving what seemed impossible five years ago, and the pace of change is accelerating. 🔹Focus on Fewer Initiatives: To drive real breakthroughs, the NHS must concentrate resources on core strategies, avoiding the risks of fragmented funding. 🔮 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 Richard Meddings offered a hopeful outlook for the NHS five years from now. Despite exponential demand and structural pressures, innovation holds the key to transformation. He ends by stating the vision of a health system that is free and accessible remains worth fighting for!

We are a pre seed start-up company and we are looking for a Bank to guide and support us. We are already signed up for the NHS Innovation Hub and I am a lay subject matter expert for NICE and I am a Research Champion for the London North West NHS. Other qualifications are in my personal profile attached. We are launching a new rPPG (using the Camera on a Smartphone or on a Tablet to assess a person’s vital signs). We are at the forefront of cutting edge technology and we propose to stay there. Remote Patient Monitoring solutions linked to one of our Medical-Grade Tellihealth Smartwatches give you even more assessment of even more health issues and concerns. We are also considering adding a Holter Cardio Smart Wearable Patch as well as other emerging technologies so that we are ahead of all other offerings in the market place. We propose a soft launch in January 2025 and to launch fully in March 2025. Just to confirm that I am forming a Medical Advisory Board for our not for profit arm of TDihealth Community Interest Company. This far we have two entities. Total Digital Inclusion Global Limited the commercial arm of the Tellihealth business. We distribute and sell Tellihealth Smartwatches, Blood Pressure Monitors, Digital Thermometers and a host of other Home health test equipment. We also sell monthly and annual subscriptions to the TDihealth Facial Scanning solutions, our Ambulatory Holter Smart Wearables and other health Technology solutions. Under the TDihealth Facial Scanning solution we propose to offer a limited trial period to everyone FREE of charge. The goal is to hopefully hand responsibility for one’s health and wellness back to the patient and HOPEFULLY A take some pressure off of our overstretched NHS. There is an option to subscribe to continued use on a monthly or annual basis but limited access to everyone is to remain FREE for life. That is my goal. I propose to have a Medical Advisory Board of maximum 5 people (3 already appointed). This board to include 4 Medical Doctors with various specialties and PPI lay person to add a patient’s perspective. The main board will be made up of 6 people, myself, a Technical Director, Sales Director a Marketing Director, an Operations Director and a Company Secretary, all already appointed. You can see what we are planning on www.tdihealth.co.uk with lots more technology to come mid 2025. Very happy to hear from innovative technology companies with easy to add AI and all other other assessment, monitoring and management technologies that we can add to our platform. My email address is [email protected] and my telephone number and WhatsApp is +447455969035. I look forward to hearing from you

We have teamed up with Ethical Healthcare Consulting to publish a new report ‘Frontline digitisation: creating the conditions for a digital NHS’ highlighting the issues faced by ICBs in implementing digital programs across the NHS. The report details what the NHS needs to make this work in the long-term including: - fewer core targets - flexibility - quality training and support for staff - more capital funding for digital infrastructure - longer-term, multi-year funding cycles.

The Health Innovation Network has welcomed the Innovation Ecosystem Programme (IEP) recommendations. The IEP aimed to explore how best to streamline the research, development and adoption of those innovations with the potential to make the NHS a global leader. The Health Innovation Network contributed to the work which will create a framework for innovation activity that will allow the NHS to tackle emerging healthcare priorities. Health Innovation North West Coast Chief Executive Dr Phil Jennings said: “We and our partner health innovation networks look forward to helping to implement the recommendations. “We have spent a decade developing strong partnerships with our local health and care systems, as well as with industry and our universities. “The report stresses the importance of adapting innovation to local circumstances and we will build on those relationships to deliver the report’s ambitions in a way that’s relevant to the North West Coast.” Read the report: https://lnkd.in/ePJWyDqR Read the Health Innovation Network's response: https://lnkd.in/eKjNUExB #InnovationEcosystemProgramme Andrew Cooper Tony Woods Claire Hodgson Mike Kenny Lindsay Sharples Jenni West, M.Sc Eleanor Garnett-Bentley Mandy Townsend Laura Boland NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Partnership Prof Rowan Pritchard Jones

Three quarters (75%) of the public support sharing some of their personal health data for the development of AI systems in the NHS, according to a survey commissioned by think tank the Health Foundation. Interesting findings. Anything you do these days, you get asked for permission to share the data. This helps organisations understand their customers, and the healthcare sector is no exception. Although some individuals remain sceptical about data privacy, I believe we live in an era when data sharing is becoming more open. DPN Research discovered in 2022 that the younger generation is more likely to feel comfortable sharing their data, which actually makes real sense when you think about it. Back to the NHS, results show that 59% were willing to share data on areas such as their eye health, 58% on medicines they are taking, and 57% on long-term illnesses they live with. However, the percentage of phone-tracked data is lower, reaching 47%. People named the ability to see and talk to NHS staff as their most important consideration about technology use in healthcare, with 39% people aged 65 years and older naming this as their most important consideration. The poll found that around two-thirds of the public have either high or moderate levels of trust in the NHS with their health data. #digitalhealth #artificialintelligence #healthcareinnovation #healthcaretechnology

📣 We welcome the Innovation Ecosystem Programme recommendations, published today. The report rightly highlights the need for a focus on clearly defined national health innovation priorities, incentivising the partnership working required to deliver innovation, and improved alignment and shared accountability for innovation adoption performance. Our decade’s experience of innovating in the NHS has demonstrated that innovation is a team sport, and it works best when all the necessary players are enabled to play their specific, but coordinated, roles as the examples laid out in this report highlight.
