The Integrated Care Summit North: Challenges and best practice

Integrated care is about giving people the support they need, joining up across local councils, the NHS, and other partners. It removes traditional divisions between hospitals and family doctors, between physical and mental health, and between NHS and council services.

ICSs (integrated care systems) are seen by NHS leaders as the future of health and care integration in England. The NHS Long Term Plan and now the Government’s white paper on health and care reform both place ICSs at the heart of the NHS.

As of April 2021, there are 42 ICSs covering every area in England. All 42 are expected to be fully operational by April 2022. The ongoing development of ICSs presents both challenges and opportunities for doctors.

Our upcoming event will provide NHS healthcare leaders from across primary, social and secondary care sectors with a secure and high-value platform to discuss the key challenges and benefits of the integrated care strategy.

Convenzis events are highly regarded for their ability to drive strategic level change and transformation within the healthcare industry. Our events bring together senior healthcare leaders and decision-makers from across the NHS and wider healthcare sector, with the aim of identifying and implementing innovative approaches to address the most pressing challenges facing the industry today.

ICS Command Centre: A Key Tech Enabler for Integrated Care Systems

Martin Taylor
Deputy CEO and Co-Founder
Content Guru

In today’s NHS and ICS landscape, healthcare organisations must work together to deliver better patient outcomes alongside unheralded levels of efficiency. Technology, properly designed and applied, is the enabler of the joined-up service provision that patients, health leaders and policy makers are seeking. 

At the heart of an ICS should lie the command centre – a secure technology platform connecting patients, healthcare professionals, distributed digital devices and clinical record systems. The cloud-based technology behind the command centre is already at work nationally, transforming NHS England’s 999 and 111 delivery through the national IRP and SVCC programmes. Now the scene is set to deploy services scaled for the ICS level, enabling primary care, acute hospitals, mental health, community and social care to work in harness for improved whole system outcomes.

In this speaker session, Martin Taylor will summarise the IRP and SVCC programmes and explore how virtual front doors, back doors and wards, delivered with integration and intelligent automation, can enable transformative change at the same time as realising the cost savings necessitated by economic constraints.

Wound care accounts for around 50% of the community nursing workload.

Find out how South West Yorkshire Partnership Trust partnered with L&R to implement a self care model to improve leg ulcer service provision. The model reduced the demand on workforce capacity, improved service efficiencies and reduced patient contact to once every 6 weeks.

Delivering education and training for whole systems integrated frailty care pathways.

Dr Mohamed ELOKL
Consultant in Geriatric Medicine and Frailty
Epsom and St Helier NHS Trust (ESTH)

Frailty care is one of the NHS priorities delivered through the integrated care pathway owing to demographic changes in the UK. There is therefore a need for training in frailty awareness, education and practice across different disciplines and professions. Our aim is to develop a well-structured training programme that promotes a common language across all sectors to support embedding enhanced clinical skills and competencies to meet the needs of individuals living with varying degrees of frailty to support improved health outcomes.

At a recent Whole Systems Sutton Frailty engagement event held in September and attended by 77 multi-professional health and social care workers, we identified gaps in training and education in frailty across the workforce. As part of the integrated care systems approach there is urgent need for formal multi-disciplinary education and training in different aspects of frailty care and in caring for older people living with different levels of frailty.

We are developing a framework that offers a range of educational activities to support integrated care pathways in frailty. There is learning opportunity at every step in the frail person’s journey and the aim is to develop a comprehensive suite of educational and training programme that reflects that journey. The programme has potential for implementation and scale-up delivered to a multi-professional workforce in a multidisciplinary and interactive way. The programme will cover the frailty core capabilities framework as well as lectures, simulations and specialty specific MDT study days bringing together Acute frailty service, front door frailty services and community frailty services.

Patient engagement at the heart of long-term conditions care. How might we integrate to deliver on this at scale?

Jack Chilcott
Healthcare Transformation Director, Customer Experience & Innovation
Publicis Sapient

A remotely delivered type-2 diabetes enhanced PCN service case study.

The NHS already has access to huge numbers of fantastic point solutions, platforms, and valuable data. 

Unless the system allows people to flexibly connect and configure the most relevant pieces available for better conversations and relationships that solve their personal care challenges; improved and sustainable long-term outcomes at scale will not be possible due to breakdown of communication, inefficiencies, ability to rapidly adapt, poorer experiences, and ultimately lack of engagement.

By co-designing and implementing for the right human needs in a modular way; digital and data can create the necessary time and space for trusted, empathetic, and caring relationships that begin to solve these issues, all whilst enabling continuous improvement through real-world measurement, iteration, and scale.

Prior to the Covid 19 pandemic the Boston Neighbourhood team was set up with the collaboration of the Boston Primary Care Network. The pandemic cemented the team within the local community. From homeless covid vaccination programmes to Falls projects for the elderly population the Neighbourhood team have been working together with multiple agencies for the last three years to build and deliver a sustainable project to help the demographics of their population through networking, breaking down walls and a complex matrix management structure to better serve the people of Boston.

The team provide neighbourhood working at a grass roots level amongst the rural population of Boston in Lincolnshire. We will be discussing how multiple NHS care services and community stakeholders are collaboratively working together to tackle health inequalities and the unseen population within the town. 

We will be reflecting about how as a Boston Neighbourhood collective we deliver effective patient specific outcomes as well as driving change, shifting attitudes within care and social care whilst developing health education opportunities. Recognising the importance of challenging organisations to embrace a solution focused approach over a task focused remit and putting people at the centre of everything we do.

Convenzis Healthcare Event testimonials

What our clients say about us

It was great to join the Convenzis team again for the patient flow event. As always, the team were incredibly accommodating and happy to help. The quality of attendees is always of a high standard and relevant to the patient flow and to us also. We continue to have great discussions and footfall around our stand with no need to try and encourage people to come and see us. Really positive event for us and we look forward to working with Convenzis in the future.

Catalyst BI -

My colleague and I presented at the NHS workforce conference 2023, 19 September. The support and guidance we received from the Convenzis team in the run up to our presentation slot was great, well timed and perfectly pitched. The event itself, again was expertly organised. The conference was well Chaired by Sean, who was very engaging. As an audience member as well as a panel member, I would definitely work with the Convenzis team again.

I worked with Convenzis, primarily Dan, for the first time this year, putting together a bespoke online event for IBM. He has always been so responsive and accommodating. The team always remained professional and helpful – despite the many demands from our side! They were very keen for us to maximise on the investment and revisit those attendees who had not committed to follow ups.
It was an absolute pleasure doing business with Convenzis and I know there will be more opportunities next year. Looking forward to it!
