The Virtually Assessed Patient (VAP) pre chemo/systematic anti-cancer therapy (SACT) assessment clinic at Velindre Cancer Centre has developed out of necessity, partly due to Covid-19 social isolation rules and the need to adapt the way patients are assessed and partly due to growing capacity needs within the consultant clinics. What started out as a project in February 2020 to test the concept is now a fully funded business as usual clinic as it clearly demonstrates both prudent healthcare and also allowing for clinical prioritisation with these clinics. This releases capacity in the consultant led clinics, providing appointment space for those new patients, those more complex patients or patients having scan results.

The VAP clinic is a standalone clinic. Stable patients who are undergoing routine well tolerated  treatment are transferred out of the consultants medical clinic and into the VAP Clinic – a nurse  prescriber lead clinic. It also allows for professional extension of non-medical prescribers working at the top end of their registration by being responsible for the patient cancer journey during the patents time in the VAP clinic. 

Join Tej Quine, Advanced Nurse Practitioner and prescriber, and Michael Stone, Service Improvement and Costing Accountant, as they share their story including the application of digital opportunities along with finance and governance arrangements that enabled this.  

This webinar is the second in our digital and data series, following ‘What can health analytics do for us? An introduction to finance’ which can be viewed on demand here.

Finance staff are used to handling data, but do we really understand the power of the information that the NHS collects and how it can be used by the NHS finance profession? 

In this webinar, David Sgorbati will set out what health analytics is and how it can be used to better understand our populations. Descriptive analytics helps us to see trends and analyse current health needs. Whereas predictive analytics supports planning and the allocation of future resources. 

Underpinning all of this is the need to understand what causes the activity and the trends, so that we can be proactive in our approach to delivering care. 

Through a mix of theory and practical examples, David will describe how finance teams across the UK can make better use of the data available to them.

With unprecedented demands on NHS services, digital transformation is a key enabler for alleviating pressures on services and people. NHS England’s Digital Productivity programme focuses on accelerating the adoption of evidence-based technologies to improve productivity across the NHS and social care.
Join us for this exciting webinar, where the NHS Digital Productivity team will introduce evidence-based digital tools such as robotic process automation (RPA) and automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) such as radio frequency identification (RFID). We will hear how these tools can be – and already are being – used effectively to improve productivity, enabling the NHS to deliver care and treatments to more patients, improve the quality of care, reduce the burden on the workforce, save time, lower costs, reduce waste, and increase patient and staff satisfaction.
The webinar will highlight the resources available to NHS bodies, and the lessons learned by those that have already adopted digital tools including RPA and RFID or real time locating systems (RTLS). The NHS could potentially free up frontline time worth up to £12.5 billion a year – almost 10 per cent of its annual running cost – by investing in a far-reaching programme of RPA.
This webinar will focus on getting started with these digital technologies including identifying the right capabilities and developing a proof of concept. It will discuss the pros and cons of different models and approaches, as well as key challenges, such as demonstrating return on investment. The team will explain how to build a benefits case for automation and share the supporting resources already available to NHS organisations, including their impressive Evidence Based Library, with over 600 case studies for various digital productivity technologies.

Jacqui Rock, Chief Commercial Officer at NHS England, will invite NHS finance and procurement colleagues to hear more about the next evolution of the commercial service offer for the NHS – the Central Commercial Function (CCF). 

Jacqui Rock will discuss the benefits the CCF will bring to commercial and finance teams in the NHS, including significant potential savings via better data insights through Atamis and the Spend Comparison Service (SCS); attracting and retaining commercial talent; deep dives into areas of category spend and developing category strategies; the development of an NHS commercial strategy and ICS commercial strategies. 

Launched in July 2022, the CCF aims to build a world class commercial community in the NHS, which will help unlock significant commercial opportunities for the NHS (including leveraging NHS buying power where appropriate), deliver value for money for the taxpayer, ensure clinicians have the right products and services they need, and tackle some of our commercial challenges such as supplier resilience.

The webinar aims to help NHS colleagues understand and mitigate the challenges in developing their digital strategies to maximise the benefits of cloud technology within a financial framework.  
In 2013 the Government published its Cloud First policy. The webinar will look at some of the reasons why cloud first has not seen the anticipated revolution and the misconceptions around adopting cloud technology. It will highlight the advantages that can be gained from using a public cloud for those applications where this is the most appropriate long term solution.
The panel will discuss the different approaches that NHS colleagues can adopt such as software as a service, platform as a service and infrastructure as a service and the relative pros and cons of each.
Also for discussion are the governance and security concerns that arise from the different models and how to best protect your organisation from cyber attack.
Finally the panel will provide signposts on how you can progress your plans and how NHS England’s digital team can engage and support on your digital journey.

Opportunities using cloud to develop digital strategies

This webinar will explain what social investment is and demonstrate how it is being used to improve end of life care in Oxfordshire. 

The webinar will presented by Linsey Lambeth, Social Finance and Macmillan fund lead, along with Jason Dorset, chief finance officer, and Katherine Archer, head of financial performance, from Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. 

Showcasing Social Finance’s largest social investment in health into a provider trust, the webinar will cover: 

using an evidence-based approach and joint analysis to population need and system working 

partnering with Social Finance to fund up-front costs 

using a reduction in avoidable bed days to determine the level of repayment 

explaining how data is being used to identify continuous service improvement 

talking about the application of Social Finance funding for other opportunities where up-front costs can prevent providers from the delivery of long-term improvements 

 

There will be time to ask questions including the governance and accounting implications of the investment.

After two years of the pandemic financial regime, the NHS now faces the challenge of achieving financial balance while managing the operational recovery from Covid in terms of waiting lists, staffing levels and demand for urgent and emergency care.
In this webinar, two of Unit 4’s NHS customers will share how they have developed and implemented their enterprise resource planning (ERP) strategy. The impact was streamlined reporting that was more collaborative but took less effort to produce. The NHS bodies will share their tips for best practice in agile reporting and scenario modeling and how this will help them achieve financial sustainability.

Collaboration, agility and trust – transforming finance by going beyond Excel

Digital technologies have a huge potential to transform the delivery of healthcare. From the patient’s perspective technology can empower them to participate actively in their care. For NHS bodies, technology can improve efficiency and change the focus to wellbeing and prevention with its associated impact on demand.
However, accounting for innovative digital technologies is complicated and it is not always clear whether the NHS body is purchasing an asset that, in accounting terms, is capital expenditure or a service that is revenue or a mixture of the two. 
Technological solutions can change the patient pathway and often cross organisational boundaries. This, coupled with the move towards integration and system working mean that it is not a single organisation that is accounting for the new solution but several. This also complicates the accounting arrangements. 
As technologies change, so does the delivery mechanism. Cloud computing and software as a service mean that even existing digital solutions may need to be accounted for in a different way. 
This webinar is part of HFMA’s Delivering value with digital technologies programme that is supported by HEE. It will set out the issues that need to be considered when determining the accounting treatment for digital solutions.
