Bitesize CPD webinar: Management and leadership

The NHS Long Term Plan put primary care at the centre of the vision for the next decade of the NHS in England. Rather than examining the primary care reforms themselves, this webinar will provide an honest snapshot of primary care during 2020. How one GP federation and local primary care networks have responded to the requirements of the reforms – for example, providing new services and developing the workforce. The webinar will also examine the role the GP federation played and continues to play in coping with the COVID-19 pandemic as the year unfolded

Prior to Covid-19 the financial challenges facing the NHS were well documented. The NHS long-term plan set out proposals to transform the way that the NHS works in order to meet these challenges which are the result, in part, of increasing patient demand as well as workforce pressures. Meeting the challenge of the NHS long term plan continues alongside managing the on-going impact of Covid-19.

During this webinar we discuss the research we have been undertaking in partnership with the HFMA into how technology leaders are using the power of intelligent automation to tackle these issues.

A webinar panel discussion with healthcare leaders on the challenges for the provisioning and commissioning of care that have arisen as a result of Covid-19; the challenges for frontline transformation programmes; an evaluation of some of the solutions to deal with these challenges.

Using the Topol Review report Preparing the healthcare workforce to deliver the digital future as a starting point, Health Education England’s Patrick Mitchell will explore how the digital agenda is a critical transformation opportunity to help drive productivity, reduce clinical variance and support the paradigm shift in how health services are delivered.

In this webinar we will hear from the Sustainable Development Unit on the launch and progress of the "For a greener NHS" campaign. Alexis Percival from Yorkshire Ambulance NHS Trust will also share how her organisation and wider health system are committed to addressing the climate impact of health care delivery. We will also hear about the impact of Covid-19 on NHS environmental sustainability.

The concept of ‘value’ in healthcare – maximising the outcomes which matter to people at the lowest possible cost – is increasingly seen as a key lever for supporting the delivery of high-quality sustainable care. The challenge is how to do this in practice. What is clear is that clinicians and finance staff need to work more closely together to ensure resources are used in the most effective way possible to provide high-quality care.

In this webinar Dr Ian Davidson, GIRFT’s clinical lead for adult crisis and acute mental health, will give an update on the GIRFT workstream, sharing what they have found out so far on the deep dive visits to mental health trusts, and suggesting what mental health trusts should start focusing on to deliver value.
