Expo is the most significant annual health and social care event in the calendar, uniting more NHS and care leaders, commissioners, clinicians, voluntary sector partners, innovators and media than any other health and care event.
Expo 15 returned to Manchester and was hosted once again by NHS England. Around 5000 people a day from health and care, the voluntary sector, local government, and industry joined together at Manchester Central Convention Centre for two packed days of speakers, workshops, exhibitions and professional development.
This year, Expo was more relevant and engaging than ever before, happening within the first 100 days of the new Government, and almost 12 months after the publication of the NHS Five Year Forward View. It was also a great opportunity to check on and learn from the progress of Greater Manchester as the area prepares to take over a £6 billion devolved health and social care budget, pledging to integrate hospital, community, primary and social care and vastly improve health and well-being.

Why population health?
• Increasing costs – reactive, fragmented,
activity-based systems no longer fit for
purpose in light of growing LTCs
• Lower than desired quality outcomes due to
lack of coordination and difficulties for patients
and clinicians to navigate health systems
• Variable access
• Changes in provider landscapes (e.g.
increasing pressure on primary care systems
globally)
Internationally, drivers of population health are similar
Population health is a
proactive, patient-centric
approach that engages
patients, clinicians and
providers in wellness,
prevention, care coordination
and management, improving
outcomes and reducing costs.

health. They have been operating under a Global Capitation / Full Delegation model with
various insurers for 15+ years.

Community Centers: Partnership with City of San Antonio has resulted in multiple
senior-focused community centers that have daily average attendance of 600+ visitors
Coverage:Population includes delegated financial risk on 100,000 + patients in addition to
regular fee-for service patient panels.

surgery visits

Implications for New Models of Care
• No right way to deliver new models of care
• Different approaches with different rewards/risks – layers of protection as you build
confidence in working differently
• Requires new capabilities, new relationships and new ways of working
• No perfect ‘starting point’ – understand where you are on curve and where
you want to go
• Be realistic – population health requires upfront investment for long term benefits
– what can you be doing now to
plan for future?
