O nouă comunitate de pionieri ai inovației în sănătate și îngrijire a fost lansată pentru a îmbunătăți rezultatele în materie de sănătate în Bristol, North Somerset și South Gloucestershire.

10 mai 2024

O actualizare de la Programul "Innovate Healthier Together.

Miercuri, 1 mai, am găzduit un eveniment pentru a marca lansarea oficială a bursei noastre Innovate Healthier Together, găzduită de profesorul Sir Steve West CBE, președintele departamentului de Inovație în Sănătate din Vestul Angliei și vicecancelar al UWE. Colegi din Bristol, North Somerset și South Gloucestershire s-au adunat la uimitoarea locație a evenimentului The Mount Without din centrul orașului Bristol.

The Innovate Healthier Together Fellowship aims to provide a community and a space to spark innovative thinking and new ways of working across health and care services in Bristol, North Somerset, and South Gloucestershire.

To launch this important initiative, we were joined by 121 professionals with a diverse mix of skills from across all health and care sectors. Those in attendance were asked to contribute to how the fellowship should run, priority themes for collaboration, and what support they could pledge.

Prior to the fellowship launch, we approached key individuals who are already taking incredible steps in progressing innovative practices in our health and care system, inviting them to join the community as our Founding Fellows.

During our launch event, attendees heard from Founding Fellows including Huda Hujinur, Rebecca Thorpe, Marc Griffiths and Rhys Hancock. Each fellow shared their examples of their own innovative work, alongside their commitment to the fellowship.

Huda Hujinur of Caafi Health, inspired our audience with her progressive work specifically supporting underrepresented communities and marginalised groups. Marc Griffiths of University of the West of England touched on the continued development of the Integrated Care Academy at the University of the West of England and its collaboration with partners across the local and regional systems.

Rhys Hancock of Brisdoc shared information on the Mental Health Integrated Access Partnership. Rebecca Thorpe of University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust (UHBW) talked about her experience of SHarED (Supporting High impact users in Emergency Departments) and the support she received through collaboration with Health Innovation West of England to spread the project across the region.

Each founding fellow is spearheading innovation that covers the breadth and depth of our integrated health and care system.

În urma acestor idei inspirate, participanții la eveniment au luat parte la o ‘conversație privind inovarea’, în cadrul căreia au discutat abordările care i-au impresionat în Bristol, North Somerset și South Gloucestershire, potențialele bariere de depășit și modalitățile de accelerare a inovării în domeniul sănătății și îngrijirii.

These discussions were recorded, and we look forward to incorporating these learnings into the growth and direction of the fellowship as we provide the spaces and platforms for fellows to reimagine how we deliver health and care services to our local population.

Following the success of the launch event, Professor Sir Steve West CBE, commented:

“Bursa ne oferă oportunitatea de a face lucrurile diferit. Acum avem șansa de a crea o comunitate care se va sprijini reciproc, va fi suficient de curajoasă pentru a inova, pentru a testa, a eșua și a învăța din asta. În cele din urmă, este vorba despre a face lucrurile mai bine. Această bursă este un grup de oameni care ne poate lansa în această mare călătorie.”

We are encouraging all forward thinkers to join our new community space, allowing health and care professionals to think creatively, be inspired, and make connections. Register for the new fellowship aici.
