This document outlines a programme for primary care reform in Greater Manchester that aims to transform community-based care and support. It proposes establishing Local Care Organisations that integrate primary care services with community, social care, acute, mental health services and third sector providers. The programme seeks £41.2 million over four years to increase primary care capacity through new roles, expanded workforce, improved access to services 7 days a week, a resilience programme for practices, and investment in primary care estates and technology. It also includes a review of 24/7 urgent primary care provision to streamline services and improve patient navigation.
The RCGP Special Measures Programme provides peer advice and support to GP practices in England that enter special measures following a CQC inspection. The program is commissioned by NHS England and offers practices up to £10k in funding. The program conducts scoping visits, root cause analyses, and helps practices develop improvement plans. Key root causes identified include lack of clinical and management leadership as well as isolation. Practices with early RCGP intervention, realistic action plans, stakeholder support, and insight/engagement are more likely to succeed upon reinspection. Going forward, the RCGP plans to offer smaller upstream support services to commissioners.
The document discusses economic and demographic challenges facing health and social care in the UK, including budget cuts, an aging population, and increased rates of obesity. It outlines proposed government solutions such as increasing productivity, giving clinicians power over commissioning, expanding the role of competition and markets, and focusing on outcomes rather than processes. The document also discusses how occupational therapists can influence decisions, promote their services, and get their voices heard through representation, networking, demonstrating outcomes, and understanding commissioning. It provides resources and support available from the College of Occupational Therapists.

Investing in specialised services - the prioritisation framework, pop up uni,...NHS England
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.

Transforming Urgent and Emergency Care: Safer, Better, Fastermckenln
Rick Stern is the Director of the Primary Care Foundation, which has done extensive work examining urgent and primary care systems. This includes reviewing urgent care services, primary care in A&E, and potential ways to reduce bureaucracy and avoidable appointments in general practices. General practices currently feel under significant pressure due to increased workload, expectations, and a declining share of NHS funding over the last decade. The Primary Care Foundation has identified ways that practices can improve their urgent care response, reduce unnecessary contacts, and keep processes simple. Their work found that 27% of GP appointments could potentially be avoided and that integrated IT systems could help reduce workload.
The document discusses challenges facing the NHS in England and reforms proposed to address them. It outlines population aging and rising chronic disease prevalence as challenges. The Five Year Forward View proposes integrated primary and community care networks and greater emphasis on prevention. However, public health budgets are being cut even as needs rise. The success of reforms will depend on evaluation of outcomes, efficiency, experiences and the impact of funding changes.
This document discusses predictive risk modeling and its applications in integrated care. It provides examples of how predictive risk modeling works, including:
- Developing predictive risk models using pseudonymized patient data to identify individuals at high risk of future health events.
- Evaluating model performance by measuring how well it predicts actual outcomes, with trade-offs between correctly identifying more actual cases versus incorrectly predicting cases.
- Examples of UK projects that use predictive risk modeling to stratify patient populations and target case management or other interventions to high-risk groups, with the aim of improving outcomes and reducing health care costs.
The document discusses the current high demand for urgent and emergency care services in the UK healthcare system. It notes there are over 100 million calls or visits to urgent and emergency services annually, placing strain on the system. It proposes developing community-based integrated care as an alternative to reducing pressure on hospitals. This would involve coordinating various services like general practice, nursing, social care, and hospitals to provide more coordinated care outside of the hospital setting. It also discusses challenges in implementing such a system, like payment reforms, information sharing across organizations, establishing measures of an integrated system, and shifting some workforce skills to this new model of care.
Dr Rebecca Rosen, Senior Fellow at the Nuffield Trust and General Practitioner in South East London, sets the context around the levers for change in general practice and primary care. Dr Rosen presented at the Nuffield Trust’s ‘Levers for change in general practice and primary care’ event on the 6th November 2014.
Rebecca Rosen: Transforming general practiceNuffield Trust
General practice in the UK is facing increasing demands due to factors like an aging population, rise in chronic diseases, and growing patient expectations. This has led to a relentless rise in the number of GP consultations. GPs report increasing workload from administration tasks, long-term condition management, and exceeding appointment times. New models of general practice are emerging using large partnerships and networks to help address challenges of financial constraints, workforce pressures, and an uncertain regulatory context. However, the primary care sector currently faces a hostile policy context without a clear national vision for its role in the healthcare system.
The AHSN has supported health and care partners in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic in several ways:
1) It established a knowledge-sharing group to facilitate discussion on PPE reprocessing between trusts facing shortages. This supported the rapid development and testing of a validated PPE reprocessing method.
2) It helped expedite the regulatory approval process for a new personal respirator, working with partners to achieve BSI certification within 12 weeks. This will improve PPE availability.
3) It is capturing examples of innovations and changes implemented during the crisis to understand improvements that could be maintained, such as increased telemedicine and digital technologies in care homes. The goal is to inform recovery planning and establish a more

It then outlines the efficiency challenges facing the NHS and key proposals in the new White Paper, including establishing independent commissioning groups, an outcomes framework, and moving public health to local governments. It discusses mixed reactions to the proposals and an announced "policy pause" to further review the plans.
This document discusses the potential impacts of automation on healthcare employment and discusses alternative views beyond job loss. It notes that automation may lead to reconfiguring of healthcare work rather than outright job loss. Examples of existing technologies that have automated tasks in healthcare like pharmacy automation and emerging technologies like decision support systems and personal health tracking are provided. The document advocates that automation could lead to a virtuous cycle in healthcare if it allows workers to focus on tasks that require human skills and judgment.
The document discusses lessons learned from the Southwark and Lambeth Integrated Care (SLIC) program in London. Key points:
- SLIC aimed to reduce hospital admissions and care home placements for older adults through risk stratification, holistic assessments, and care management.
- Success required agreement on the problem, dedicated teams, funding shifts to support community care, and leadership development.
- Future programs need a strong business case, co-design with citizens, and a dedicated "engine room" team to drive local transformation.

Providing actionable healthcare analytics at scale: Understanding improvement...Nuffield Trust
This document discusses measurement for quality improvement. It explains that measurement in improvement aims to provide a basis for action to improve processes and outcomes, rather than just estimating parameters. Improvement measures should be simple, specific, and available in real-time. Statistical process control methods are important to separate normal variation from changes resulting from interventions. Examples are provided of run charts measuring improvements in recording BMI for mental health patients and compliance with care bundles. The document advocates making the theories behind improvement efforts more explicit.
Ramani Moonesinghe, Associate National Clinical Director for Elective Care at NHS England, discusses the use of data for monitoring care quality at various levels within the system.
This document discusses using statistical process control (CUSUM) charts to monitor mortality rates at the level of individual general practitioners and health authorities. It describes how CUSUM charts could potentially have detected Harold Shipman, a GP who murdered over 200 patients, by spotting outliers in the routine mortality data. The document also discusses challenges in risk adjusting outcomes to account for differences in patient characteristics and casemix between providers. Accurately adjusting for factors like age, comorbidities, and emergency status is important for fair comparisons but difficult using only administrative data.
Martin Utley, Director of the Clinical Operational Research Unit at University College London, reflects upon his involvement in the launch of specific tools to monitor care quality for paediatric cardiac surgery.
Evaluating new models of care: Improvement Analytics UnitNuffield Trust
Martin Caunt, Improvement Analytics Unit Project Director and NHS England and Adam Steventon, Director of Data Analytics at The Health Foundation share insights into how they have approached evaluating new models of care.
Lisa Annaly, Head of Provider Analytics at the Care Quality Commission, discusses lessons learned from the CQC as they have worked to monitor care quality over time.
- Real-time monitoring of healthcare services requires defining both a reporting window and data window to accurately capture demand, activity, and wait times.
- Using only a reporting window (e.g. a single month) to request data can result in invalid or misleading performance metrics, as it does not account for patients with long wait times.
- Defining a larger data window that includes all patients requested before the end of the reporting window and reported after the start avoids this problem, but requires a counterintuitive data request.
- Without properly defining both windows, real-time monitoring can provide an inaccurate picture of service performance and falsely suggest the need for more resources.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.
