Case Study - Sword Health

With musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions affecting nearly a third of the UK population, access to care remains challenging and often exceeds six weeks for physiotherapy or even two years for elective surgery. Join our discussion on how in-home virtual solutions address MSK issues using personalised, cost-efficient, and digital treatment programs. Learn about the cutting-edge technology behind these solutions, validated by 32 peer-reviewed studies and backed by 36 patents, ensuring faster, more accessible, and more tailored care for those in need.

Case Study - Royal Voluntary Service

Are you an ICS that is looking to improve patient experience, efficiency and workforce capacity? The NHSCVR programme - a unique partnership between NHSE, a charity (Royal Voluntary Service), and a tech platform (GoodSAM) - have over 45,000 volunteers supporting over 100,000 patients, and this grows month-on-month. The programme is a free resource for healthcare systems and patients to tap into.  Volunteers can expedite discharge from hospital, support patients with practical tasks, provide welfare support via telephone calls or drop off/return equipment for/from virtual wards. These are existing 'integrated neighbourhood teams' of volunteers already supporting your local healthcare system - come find out how we can further embed and scale this programme within your ICS to meet your priorities.

From Ward to ICS Board: the impact effective modular solutions can make to healthcare providers and clinical outcomes

The NHS is a complex system – as we aspire to deliver better integrated care, we need to have a dynamic planning approach that enables transparency between the care we plan and deliver and the capacity, workforce, supplies, facilities needed.  We need to be able to understand interdependencies and drivers and most importantly how we measure our resources and performance across a team, division, organisation or population and system.  In this presentation we will explore the challenges and opportunities in this goal of dynamic connected planning and some case studies and learning.

Case Study - Healthpathways UK

We describe our experience of following in the footsteps of one of the best examples of an integrated health and care system in Canterbury New Zealand. Discovering what it takes to really change culture and behaviour, we will explore the practicalities of embarking on a radical but effective whole system transformation.

What South Tyneside achieved and how we went about it contains lessons for every ICB.
