East Midlands Academic Health Science Network (EMAHSN) “Igniting Innovation” Executive Leadership Council 11 June 2013 Professor Rachel Munton Interim Managing Director, EMAHSN 1 Academic Health Science Network (AHSN) Definition AHSNs have the potential to transform health and healthcare by putting innovation at the heart of the NHS. This will improve patient outcomes as well as contributing to economic growth. AHSNs present a unique opportunity to pull together the adoption and spread of innovation with clinical research and trials, informatics, education, and healthcare delivery. They will develop solutions to healthcare problems and get existing solutions spread more quickly by building strong relationships with their regional scientific and academic communities and industry. 2 What is it? Getting the picture…. 3 NHS England’s Chief Executive, Sir David Nicholson, said: “The NHS is full of brilliant people with brilliant ideas. To spread ideas right across the NHS means working collaboratively with all those who have an interest. “AHSNs offer a more systematic delivery mechanism so that innovation spreads quickly and successfully through the NHS, making the best possible use of precious NHS resources and in ensuring the most advanced treatments, technologies and medicines are available to patients.” 4 5 Academic Health Science Networks 6 EMAHSN Geography – where are we? Former mining area with high levels of deprivation and health inequalities Large, dispersed rural area Large migrant workforce High levels of avoidable mortality eg smoking, alcohol, self harm Highest rate of hip fractures in England Leicester forecast to be Britain’s first ‘majority minority ethnic’ city by 2012 Multi-ethnic, diverse, metropolitan populations in Leicester, Nottingham and Derby Stark difference in deprivation, and life expectancy between the city and county Zero deprivation Top 10% life expectancy Corby has lowest life expectancy in the region (bottom 5%) Significant migrant workforce 7 EMAHSN Vision The transformation of patient access, experience and outcomes at the earliest opportunity through innovation and enterprise working ‘at the limits of science – bringing the highest level of human knowledge and skill to save lives and improve health’ [NHS Constitution 2012]. NHS Outcomes Framework AHSN Domains There are five licence domains as follows: • Adoption and Spread Of Innovation, for example adoption of 6 High Impact Innovations • Economic Growth and Wealth Creation, for example commercialisation • Inclusivity and Partnerships, for example partnership with Comprehensive Local Research Networks • Unmet Need Assessment, for example identification of unmet clinical need reflecting local priorities • Initiatives important to local NHS/Partners 10 EMAHSN Clinical Themes Great Care Frail Older People The overall ambitious aim of transforming the services for older people in the East Midlands so that they are fit for the needs of an aged and ageing population. Stroke Rehabilitation Two discrete projects that address specific, high-priority aspects of long-term care of stroke survivors were proposed to be undertaken: • A checklist for the regular follow-ups for stroke survivors • An effectiveness programme for community stroke services Emergency Department EMAHSN to support and co-ordinate any region wide approaches agreed by Acute Chief Executives to address the issues of improving ED performance in the immediate period, facilitating a pan regional improvement network that maximizes existing expertise and best practice. 11 Summary Structure EMAHS Network (May 2013) 12 13 • • • • • • • • • • In the patient or carer's interest New approaches, ideas or suggestions of whatever size, large or small, and from anyone irrespective of their role or seniority Not always doing things as they have been done before Often small ideas that staff think about in their everyday work Very often original ideas that go unrecognised as the innovator may be modest about the change Accepting challenge about current practice and responding to that challenge Taking a risk to do something new or alter existing practice maybe a novel or fresh idea Improving something that's already good and sharing that improvement with others Ordinary things done in new or modified ways - a go head approach Never too small or too insignificant to share; never too large or ambitious to be considered! 14 On your tables ……. • What is the best new idea you have had in the last year [work related please!]? • What did you do with it? • How could it/did it benefit patients? • Given what you now know about the East Midlands AHSN – what use might you make of us? • Choose one idea per table to share with us with the potential for EMAHSN to sponsor and move it forward 16 Contact details Professor Rachel Munton, Interim Managing Director [email protected] 0115 82 31300 I 07825 656341 Margaret Woolley, Head of Network Programme Office [email protected] 07899 964957 Carl Edwards, Interim Industry Lead [email protected] 0115 74 84256 Stephanie Chandler, Interim Programme Office Manager [email protected] 0115 82 31298 Email: [email protected] Website: www.emahsn.ac.uk Telephone: 0115 82 31298 Twitter: @EM_AHSN 17
