Delivering clinical and financial sustainability across a £6bn health economy...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.

The NHS Sustainability Campaign has been advocating the mandatory implementation of Sustainable Development Management Plans for the past year.
SDMPs, as they are often referred to, are not currently a mandatory requirement for any NHS Trust. They are part of the NHS Contract, but not reported on or considered when measuring performance.
This is leading to carbon measures been ignored by over 30% of the NHS Trusts in England, thats around 80 Trusts! This is staggering and also demonstrative of the lack of leadership needed to drive sustainability.
As part of our campaign to support Trusts with SDMP's we hosted a webinar, CPD accredited, on December 6th. The webinar explored how to create an SDMP, what is needed at implementation, how to get top-level engagement and much more!

Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest threats facing us today.
Why it is relevant to you: without effective antibiotics many routine treatments will become increasingly dangerous. Setting broken bones, basic operations, even chemotherapy and animal health all rely on access to antibiotics that work.
What we want you to do: To slow resistance we need to cut the unnecessary use of antibiotics. We invite the public, students and educators, farmers, the veterinary and medical communities and professional organisations, to become Antibiotic Guardians.
Call to action: Choose one simple pledge about how you’ll make better use of antibiotics and help save these vital medicines from becoming obsolete.
Across the UK we are seeing more and more examples of smart city transformation. Key 'smart' sectors utilised by such Cities include transport, energy, health care, water and waste. Against the current background of economic, social, security and technological changes caused by the globalization and the integration process, cities in the UK face the challenge of combining competitiveness and sustainable urban development simultaneously.
A smart city is a place where the traditional networks and services are made more efficient with the use of digital and telecommunication technologies, for the benefit of its inhabitants and businesses. With this vision in mind, the European Union is investing in ICT research and innovation and developing policies to improve the quality of life of citizens and make cities more sustainable in view of Europe's 20-20-20 targets.
The smart city concept goes beyond the use of ICT for better resource use and less emissions. It means smarter urban transport networks, upgraded water supply and waste disposal facilities, and more efficient ways to light and heat buildings.
And it also encompasses a more interactive and responsive city administration, safer and secure public spaces.
Smart Cities UK 2017 Conference, Expo and Awards lead the way on addressing the best practice examples on smart transformation from across Cities within the United Kingdom whilst disseminating guidance and information transformation within waste, energy, transport, security and other key smart sectors.

Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

84. Case studies
Preventative Health -
How TGO gyms are a
great tool to assist
communities to get
more physically active.
Intro to TGO:
Greener
Safer
Stronger
87. The concept of free to use outdoor gyms
originate from China in the 90s
Evaluation of Chinese outdoor gym products:
Concept: Excellent
Safety: Unsatisfactory
Inclusivity: Unsatisfactory
Quality of build: Unsatisfactory
Fitness aspects: Could be better
96. Key pillars of TGO safe designs
Aligned with EN1176:
•No entrapments
•No crush points
•No sharp edges
•No unrestricted
swinging pendulums
•No shear points
•No head and neck
entrapments
TGO equipment meets the same safety
standard as playgrounds!
Always ask to
see the
certificates for all
products
97. All ages can enjoy TGO gyms because
they meet play standards
That’s why we
were asked to
sponsor the new
BSI outdoor gym
standard
PAS888!
98. Design features of TGO’s gyms:
• Transfer handles
• Start and finish diagrams
• Wheelchair accessible pieces
• A mixture of difficulty levels
• Various start points
Our inclusive design means ALL abilities
can enjoy TGO gyms
108. • Our gyms are free
• Our gyms are safe for
all ages
• Our gyms are within
walking distance of
people’s homes
• Our gyms are
inclusive for all abilities
• Our gyms generate
great word of mouth
promotion!
111. Results showed high take up by inactive
groups
“26% of
users
surveye
d were
new to
exercise
”
I was told if I didn’t do
enough exercise I could
get diabetes.
I was considered obese, 5 and a half
stone overweight. I needed a lot of
help & Camden active team gave it.
It’s changed my life!
I had a major op in 2008,
lost a lot of weight. Using
the gym 2-3 times a week
helped rebuild my upper
body weight.
112. Other key findings to the survey
TGO gyms empower people to sustained activity
· 31% of participants used the gyms 1-2 days per week;31% 3-5 days per week; and 12% 6-7 days per week.
TGO gyms are getting people more active!
· 46% of people surveyed had increased levels of physical activity when physical activity levels pre-outdoor
gym use were compared with number of days physical in previous 7 days prior to survey.
TGO gyms are hitting target groups
· The outdoor gyms were popular among BME communities. 12% of Black Caribbean men were using the
equipment when the average population in Camden is approximately 2%. While 37% of those surveyed were
White British, which compares with a Camden population average of nearer 52%.
· 12% of people using the outdoor gyms were unemployed.
TGO gyms could do with more publicity and a
trainer
· When asked what would encourage more use, 55% of participants thought the gyms should be better
publicised, users at Polygon and Cantelowes highlighted safer parks and 48% of users at Polygon suggested
a personal trainer.
The love for TGO gyms is growing…
· 94% of participants would recommend using the outdoor gym to a friend

Sustainability , in a general sense, is the capacity to maintain a certain process or state indefinitely. In recent years the concept has been applied more specifically to living organisms and systems. As applied to the human community , sustainability has been expressed as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

In driving excellence as standard and sharing best practice across the organisation we can make a real difference and by sharing and celebrating organisations successes we can inspire others to take action.
Targets – legislative and NHS Increased cost of utilities and increased resource scarcity Upcoming legislation and carbon taxes Improve resilience of our healthcare services and ensure we are able to deliver world class healthcare in the future
In order to deliver
Creating a legacy within our community spaces and making a lasting difference throughout the year 4 all of us link with this years NHS Sustainability Day allows us to create a legacy of activity which will benefit the local community far beyond the day itself, offering both sustainability and health benefits
Last year over 40 organisations entered into the first NHS Sustainability Day awards and this year we are expecting competition to be fearse. The winning entries were chosen by a panel of specialist judges who through the entries reflected a broad scope of activity demonstrating leadership and best practice in their field. A summary of the winners and their projects is outlined on the slide and their success will be formally celebrated at the launch event on 17 th October

Winter late 2010 / 2011 Temps down to -20’C Huge impact on business, schools… e.g. lost days at work, logistics / supply chains disrupted. Salt supplies – prioritising critical infrastructure Elderly people – reluctant to leave the home Pressure on heating… Defrost – pipes bursting!
Defra – responsible for air quality issued the alert Ozone and pollutants: PM10s which can affect people’s health PM10s: Very small particulates of dust, soot and other materials Impacts on vulnerable groups such as very young and old Those with respiratory conditions such as asthma Coincided with Easter ‘getaway’ making with 18m vehicles on the roads making the problem worse!
2011 drought and forest / moorland fires Marsden Moore Fire – near Huddersfield Date: Prolonged dry weather High winds Fire was initially man made, but spread quickly. BBC News – 10 April 2011 A quad bike on fire caused a blaze that spread across more than 500 hectares (1,235 acres) of protected moorland near huddersfield, police said. Up to 50 firefighters spent 24 hours tackling the flames at marsden moor after the fire started at about 1200 bst on saturday. National trust managers fear rare birds, hares and vegetation could have perished due to the speed it spread. Police said they were looking for the owners of the quad bike. Officers said their investigations were at an early stage and it was not yet known whether the fire was started deliberately. Firefighters said nine engines were sent to tackle two separate fires on the moor, which is designated a site of specific scientific interest. The fire is believed to have spread quickly due to dry and windy conditions. National trust countryside manager gemma wren said: "we believe birds and hares will have been wiped out, we saw lots of them trying to get out of the way." The national trust scrambled a helicopter with a water bucket to help douse the flames.
Not just the impact on domestic users.. Impact on agriculture, Drought conditions now extend into midlands and south west Some rivers in England exceptionally low – impact on biodiversity (fish, birds, frogs) Thames water – desalination plant – East London (noting controversy)
Definition Adapting to climate change will reduce the costs and damages of a changing climate in the UK from floods, droughts and heat waves, and ensure that businesses and public agencies can harness some of the opportunities
The CCRA methodology is novel in that it has allowed for comparison of over 100 risks prioritised from an initial list of over 700 from a number of disparate sectors based on the magnitude of the impact and confidence in the evidence base A key strength of the analysis is using a consistent method and set of climate projections to look at current and future risks and opportunities. does not include societal change in assessing future risks, either from non-climate related change, for example economic growth, or developments in new technologies; or future responses to climate risks such as future or planned Government policies or private adaptation investment plans. Excluding these factors from the analysis provides a more robust ‘baseline’ against which the effects of different plans and policies can be more easily assessed.
Health inequalities a significant issue People in most areas experiencing poorer health and greater likelihood of premature death than the average in England A larger proportion of people deemed to be suffering fuel poverty compared to England Lower than average levels of physical activity in children, healthy eating and housing suitable for habitation Higher than average premature deaths and long-term preventable illness Ageing population migrating away from urban centres towards more rural areas. Impacts exacerbated by disadvantage Impacts exacerbated by disadvantage communities that already suffer from health and environmental inequalities Tackling some of the root causes will pay dividends when adapting to climate change Area of high flood risk and high deprivation See next slide… Exacerbation of existing health conditions E.g. increasing respiratory illnesses such as asthma due to air pollution from elevated ozone levels and pollutants Worse in urban areas in summer months, e.g. smog alert in April 2011 Challenges to healthcare delivery Temperature control in buildings Severe weather impacts on ability to delivery mobile home care services, e.g. meals on wheels, community transport Changing nature of health needs Less winter mortality, but increased heat stress (dehydration / exhaustion) of elderly and young and UV exposure in summer
Graph shows no. of properties in England & Wales in the highest 20% of deprived areas at significant risk of flooding Thinking back to Summer Flood 2007 – cost £3bn in England People displaced from their homes for long periods of time Stress associated with upheaval, financial pressures and conditions.
The National Adaptation Programme (NAP) contains a register of actions to deliver “ A society which makes timely, far-sighted and well-informed decisions to address the risks and opportunities posed by a changing climate.” Focuses on major risks identified in the Climate Change Risk Assessment Identifies actions being undertaken or to be undertaken by partners from across business, government, organisations and localities. c300 actions in the NAP divided into the following broad categories: Raising awareness of the need for climate change adaptation Increasing resilience to current climate extremes Taking timely action for long-lead time measures Addressing major evidence gaps.
[Picture: Richmondshire scene] Funding from YoHr Space for LAs to undertake LCLIPs and risk assessments supporting performance The CC Partnership has delivered good practice / sharing events for LAs and partners. Regional study ‘weathering the storm’ undertaken in 2009. We also hosted ‘Projections in Practice’ week to launch government funded UKCP09 ‘projections’ up to the 2080s local climate impact profiles LAs undertook media trawl to find local examples of severe weather and how they coped. Key risks shared with service managers. risk assessments Builds on LCLIP process, but looks in detail at each service area in LAs Matrix develop to categorise how likely a risk is to occur and what the impacts might be. Interviews held with service managers to identify risks and possible actions adaptation action plans Some LAs have now moved ahead with developing clear ‘adaptation’ action plans as part of their wider climate change strategies
Joint project with JRF – to look at socially just adaptation to climate change Modelling conducted by University of Manchester – trys to measure flood disadvantage Need to consider: Adaptive Capacity (preparedness, ability to respond, recovery) Sensitivity (age, health, care req’d) Exposure (i.e. blue/green space, built env) Results: Hull East – higher than average %householders with: – under 5’s, over 75’s, lone single pensioners, limiting long term illness, disability, lone parents, low mobility (no car)
NHS has 1.3million staff and a budget of 20bn – a huge opportunity to influence the agenda and people’s awareness of the issues both at work/home. There is the opportunity for much stronger joint and integrated working, particularly looking at how best to utilise budgets. Look for the co-benefits of working together on this agenda. It is more effective (and cheaper) to take preventative action than to deal with the resulting health issues. Do we really understand the true costs of these health impacts? The challenge can’t solely be the task of Health and Wellbeing Boards – they will need appropriate support.
Explain here the idea behind the pull ups
People told Camden that the cost & accessibility were a barrier to gym use. TGO worked with Camden PCT to provide gyms within a 20minute walk of most Camden homes. There are now eight NHS –funded free to use outdoor gyms across Camden.
Explain how the NHS did their own surveys and the results were great. Highlight the fact that the surveys showed that the gyms were successfully attracting the inactives.
