3.4 - Workforce and developing multi-disciplinary teams in primary careNHS England
The importance of the workforce needs in Beds, Luton and Milton Keynes, what does it mean to the people on the ground and how are they going to be affected. How will it improve their working lives?
This was a presentation done in a symposium on tele-psychiatry at Annual Conference of Indian Psychiatric Society South Zone, held at Chennai on 15 October 2016
This is our Business Plan for the next year; 2017-18.
In health, as in other sectors, innovation and adoption at scale is increasingly driven by interdisciplinary research, synergies between industries, and a step-change in end-user (citizen, consumer, patient) engagement in the process. Seeing the wood from the trees, making connections, spotting opportunities, and understanding how to get traction requires a breadth of perspective and strong roots into, and across, that landscape.
Academic Health Science Networks (AHSNs) connect horizontally across research, industries, commissioners, providers and users; and network vertically between policy formulation, system design, operational coal-face and end-user experience. That role takes us across all parts of the NHS, into industry, local government and other public agencies, into universities, charities, start-ups, and into funders. And up and down the system; from the role of the GP receptionist in improvement and innovation; to dialogue with policy makers and regulators about refining system design to support adoption and spread of innovation.
Networks which are open to, and embrace, the diverse perspectives of these stakeholders will, in turn, help the systems and members which they support be open to the adoption and spread of innovation.
That is what we, Wessex AHSN, aspire to. We hope you find this spirit reflected in our business plan.

Telemedicine seems to be the cheapest way to bridge the urban- rural divide in access to health
care in India. Telemedicine has been successfully inplemented in many villages in India, but it is
only the tip of the ice berg. India being a Hub of IT, there is very good scope for further growth
of telemedicine, with support of greater technology, standardization and regulations.
Making tele-healthcare more accessible is possible only by the active involvement of all stakeholders
Government, hospitals, Technology providers, Support staff, Educational & Research Institutes, Insurance, Financiers and Patients

Telemedicine: An opportunity in Healthcare in IndiaAmit Bhargava
Telemedicine, despite being an old subject, is presently receiving a huge push from government to address the healthcare inadequacy in India. The speciality health infrastructure is a need of the hour and presents an opportunity for telecom vendors, healthcare providers and policy makers to provide healthcare to masses.
This document identifies the opportunity in telemedicine and indicates the efforts so far.
19. eSwasthya Working Model Local literate women (PiramalSwasthyaSevaks) are recruited undergo a rigorous training programme in which they are trained to collect simple diagnostic information, preventive medicine, first-aid and customer service. These women are given a medical kit, marketing material and a mobile phone. They are then assisted in setting up a tele-clinic (Piramal e-Swasthya Centre) at their own homes. Villagers who feel ill come to the Piramal e-SwasthyaCenter or are visited by the PiramalSwasthyaSevak. After talking to and examining the patient, the health care worker communicates this diagnostic data through a cell-phone to a centralized call centre. At the back end, a call centre worker enters the information provided into a simple e-diagnosis system, which generates an automated response with the recommended prescription and treatment. Doctors manning the call centre also validate this. The total treatment costs between Rs.30 - Rs.50 depending on the medical condition. The Piramal e-Swasthya Centre is also a village level pharmacy stocked with medicines necessary to fill the basic prescriptions recommended by the call centre. If the ailment appears serious, the call centre recommends that the patient visit a secondary or tertiary healthcare facility immediately. The healthcare worker also conducts preventive health workshops, which generate awareness about issues such as sanitation, nutrition and first aid.
37. PSS recruits and trains and deploys village based women health entrepreneurs, PiramalSwasthyaSahayikas, who enable healthcare access to rural patients.
39. PSS undergoes a 5 day training programme on how to conduct basic health service, use digital equipment, handle mobile usage, accounts and counsel patients.
