Learning Disabilities: Share and Learn Webinar – 25 August 2016NHS England
Topic 1: Co production – a long term relationship and different Conversations
Guest Speakers: Samantha Clark, Chief Executive, Inclusion North
In health & social care we are constantly grappling with how we can work differently and think differently about people who come to our services (willingly and otherwise) needing support. With so many new ways of thinking & working around – co production, person centred approaches, asset based community development, strengths based approaches, community capacity - sometimes it's hard for people who work in services, as well as the people and families they support, to work out what it those mean to their practice. This webinar will focus on the practical values driven implementation of co production – the long term relationship, shifting power but building on all contributions.
Topic 2: Transforming Care and Building the Right Support – the CQC approach to registering services for adults with learning disabilities
Guest Speakers: Theresa Joyce and Sue Mitchell, Care Quality Commission
This webinar will be an opportunity for commissioners to consider the CQC policy on registering providers who apply to deliver services for adults with learning disabilities. The policy is called ‘Registering the Right Support’ and outlines the factors we will consider in both approving and refusing applications for either new services or changes in existing services. We will consider specific issues, such as applications to change the registration of a hospital ward or unit, to register large or congregate services or to increase the size of an existing location. These factors are all important when commissioners are developing their plans under the Transforming Care program, and the webinar will enable discussion and questions about the registration approach and process.

Community based COVID preparedness (CBCP) 25082021Sudhanshu39
The coronavirus pandemic has shown us a new world where the status quo no longer exists.
•‘The world has seen many crises over the past 30 years, including the Global Financial Crisis of 2007-09. Each has hit human development hard but, overall, development gains accrued globally year-on-year. COVID-19, with its triple hit to health, education, and income, may change this trend.’ UNDP Administrator Achim Steiner
• But the pandemic also shows us the wisdom of what is already inherent in the SDGs; the challenges we face cannot be dealt with in isolation or by a piecemeal approach.
• WHO COVID-19 Strategic Response and Preparedness Plan 2021 also highlights the need for coordinated response to plot a course out of the pandemic.
This presentation was given to a webinar on addressing poverty and also contains some suggested waymarkers for response. It is based on local experience and the lessons in the LGA/ADPH Annual Public Health Report 2023
NAWRA conference: Using data to inform work on povertyPolicy in Practice
In early June 2019 Policy and Practice was represented by Head of Policy, Zoe Charlesworth, at the National Association of Welfare Rights Advisers (NAWRA) conference at the Old Naval College, Greenwich. Zoe's presented on how data can be used to understand poverty and inequality, and how this data can feed into frontline support.
Zoe showed how self-employed households could be identified, those most at risk of application of the minimum income floor could be targeted, and households could be better supported to make decisions that were right for them. Zoe pointed to the case study of Greenwich who use frontline tools from Policy in Practice (the LIFT dashboard and Benefits Calculator) to identify, target and support those in need. Using data in this way provides the Greenwich Welfare Support team with the ability to offer pro-active and holistic support to residents and enables the council to make strategic decisions based on evidence-based trends and forecasts.

Bristol - building a truly healthy city, pop up uni, 12.00, 3 september 2015NHS 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.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

9. Purpose
• The purpose of this work is to provide intelligence to support a single, joined-up citywide response to
support the city’s most vulnerable communities and residents.
• To do so we wanted to use our databases to identify vulnerable persons in the city who may not be part of
the NHS shielded or Ministry of Housing, Community and Local Government (MHCLG) vulnerable lists.
• What datasets would be helpful to identify vulnerable persons?

12. What we did
• We brought together:
– MHCLG’s vulnerable to coronavirus list
– NHS’s at risk / shielded list
– Council’s datasets including adult services (CareDirector), children’s social care (LiquidLogic), electoral registration, M3, housing
benefits and Local Land and Property Gazetteer datasets.
– School Census Free School Meal and Early Years Pupil Premium
– Waste Services Assisted Collection
– West Midlands Fire Service Safe and Well Checks
• By bringing this dataset together, we can ensure that, once we’ve met our statutory responsibilities to help the government-identified
shielded/vulnerable people, we can also ensure all other Council-identified vulnerable people can be helped.
13. Low-level adult social care & assisted collections
We can also start identifying hotspots for example,
here are the areas of the city where we have
people accessing community and low-level adult
social care support – AND also have an assisted
waste collection.
15. Purpose
• The role of the test and trace service is to:
• ensure that anyone who develops symptoms can quickly be tested to find out if they have the virus.
• trace close recent contacts of anyone who tests positive for notify them that they must self-isolate at
home to help stop the spread of the virus.
• identify and effectively target potential clusters which could lead to new outbreaks.
• understand key routes of transmission and identify high-risk settings where more focussed action is
necessary to prevent and reduce transmission (i.e. through ‘backward contract tracing’).
• Local authorities have lots of experience with this with local disease outbreaks – e.g. sexually transmitted
infections; or the Salisbury poisonings.
• Local expertise essential – reflect the diversity of our communities and the range of needs that exist, from
language barriers to inequalities.
16. Background
• The Government began a programme of test, trace, isolate and support (contact tracing) from
28/05/2020 – along with the general availability of widespread COVID testing.
• The system was run centrally – NHS-branded contact-tracing advisory service (CTAS) run by privately-run
call centres.
• Local authorities asked to support this through Local Outbreak Control Plans which (amongst other
things) supported contact tracing with complex cases and settings (care settings, supported
accommodation, workplaces).
• Widespread coverage about problems with the centralised model… and widespread professional
dissatisfaction too (e.g. ADPH).
17. Data
• Initial data available to local authorities were poor and non-existent – widely covered that local leaders
had no data to work with when Leicester was placed into lockdown on 29 June (e.g. in the BMJ).
• Close working relationship with Public Health England (weekly conversations with PHE and West Midlands
colleagues) to push for data sharing and identify improvements.
• Data now much better – and contact tracing has increased a lot too:
– 7 days to 3 June: 41 cases
– 7 days to 26 August: 53 cases
– 7 days to 28 October: 764 cases

Developing systems
• We developed a suite of SharePoint and Power BI apps to support local backward contact tracing:
Logs identified outbreaks and
actions taken
Logs emerging clusters and
hotspots and actions taken at
daily hotspot meetings
Combines the daily line listings
and blends with local data for
population health analysis
Record identified settings where
common exposures occurred
19. What we did
• From July we began our own local backward contact tracing. This became a daily ‘battle rhythm’ of…
• As local authorities, we are in the best position to do this, because we can combine the improving data we get from
PHE and NHS test and trace with our own local authority datasets and local knowledge and intelligence. This means
we have reached people before CTAS; resolve issues with one phone call; and identify outbreaks faster.
• Not about building a ‘world-beating’ system – it is about good working relationships to do mundane and often
painstakingly detailed work of combining and making sense of an ever-changing situation – and then taking
appropriate action to address any issues that arise.
🏷 Identify
Hotspots and clusters by postcodes and
settings like workplaces/schools – to identify
high-risk settings, common exposures,
potential transmission routes.
🩺 Diagnose
Working with public health consultants, health
protection, environmental health – who in turn
work with Public Health England, businesses,
schools, care homes to follow up issues and
keep people safe.
👨🔬 Reassure
Public health trainees (and since 16 October,
our team of COVID advisors) provide a welfare
call to residents – ensure they understand the
rules; signpost support for finances/food, and
undertake backward contact tracing.
21. Purpose
• Coventry, Solihull and Warwickshire (CSW) was one of eleven Test and Trace ‘Beacons’ – early adopters to
develop a local approach and plan to manage COVID-19 – see www.staysafecsw.info.
• As part of this, I led the CSW epidemiology and intelligence cell.
• The purpose of this is to support the direct public health actions through the development and implementation
of the COVID-19 Test and Trace programme across Coventry, Solihull and Warwickshire (CSW) by providing rapid
and consistent data and intelligence to support monitoring and management efforts – and also to escalate and
cascade issues regionally and nationally, including to the Joint Biosecurity Centre.

30. Testing rapid deep-dive
Data from various sources – NHS Digital, Public Health
England Situational Awareness Reports, Coventry,
Solihull and Warwickshire Surveillance Dashboards, all
suggest that Coventry’s rate of COVID-19 testing is
lower than seen elsewhere.
We conducted a rapid deep dive into COVID-19 testing
data for Coventry in September and October. Testing
rates vary significantly by age group, ethnicity, gender,
occupation – and ward.
31. Testing recommendations
The city can increase overall testing rates and reduce the overall transmission of
COVID-19 and its effect on health services by targeting testing at specific groups that
are at particularly high-risk.
This can be done by targeting testing at:
older adults 60-79 (who
are at higher risk of
complications resulting
from COVID-19);
specific neighbourhoods
with lower rates of testing
(Cheylesmore, Earlsdon,
Foleshill, Sherbourne and
St Michael's) and people
belonging to Asian, Black
and Other ethnic groups.
people, particularly men,
working in skilled trades /
process plant and machine
operatives (who are more likely
to be in factory, manufacturing
and warehousing jobs where
higher rates of transmission
has been experienced); and
