The nation's health: priorities for the next government

• recent trends in the nation’s health, including in life expectancy, living and working conditions and wider government investment in health

• priorities for the next government.

Whichever party forms the next government will need to invest not only in the NHS and social care, but also in wider areas of public spending that create the right conditions for people to lead healthy lives.

Improve analytical capability in health and care services

Dear Harper

The Health Foundation, an independent charity committed to bringing about better health and health care for people in the UK, has launched the fourth round of its Advancing Applied Analytics programme.

We are looking to support teams who are working on local innovative and ambitious projects that can demonstrate how they will improve analytical capability in support of health and care services.  

We have £750,000 of funding to support up to 12 good quality projects across the UK that:

• are led by a local/regional NHS or social care provider or commissioning organisation including local authorities, though partnerships with other groups and sectors are welcome
• could benefit from funding of up to a maximum of £75,000 per project
• start no later than October 2020 for a maximum duration of 15 months.

For this round we are particularly interested in:

1. Projects that help senior managers and clinicians understand the value of better analytics.

2. Projects that demonstrate a clear path from the initial project to longer-term and sustainable change beyond the life of the individual project.

The deadline for applications is noon, Monday 13 January 2020.

Best wishes,

Ellen Coughlan

The NHS as an anchor: working with others to build healthier communities

Webinar | Date: Friday 31 January 2020, 12.30 – 13.30

Venue: Online live streaming. Accessible via PC, tablets and smartphones

Dear Harper,

As anchor institutions, NHS organisations have a significant stake in their local population, and sizeable assets that can be used to influence the health and wellbeing of communities. As large employers, purchasers, and land owners, NHS organisations can work with partners to support community development and improve the health of the local population.  

But how do anchor strategies work in practice, and how can the NHS work with partners to positively impact the social and economic conditions of local communities?

Join us for our webinar exploring the ways in which NHS organisations can improve local health outcomes, outside of providing health care, based on our recent report ‘Building healthier communities: the role of the NHS as an anchor institution’.

You will hear from two local system leaders who will share their experiences of working together to develop and implement anchor strategies, including working in partnership to support community development, and progressive approaches to procurement and employment.

We’ll also discuss our plans for supporting the scale and spread of good practice as part of our partnership with NHS England and Improvement.

Chair:

• Sarah Reed, Improvement Fellow, the Health Foundation

Speakers:

• Sandi Carman, Assistant Chief Executive, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust
• Laura White, Partnership Manager, Sheffield City Partnership

Improve analytical capability in health and care services

Dear Harper

For the fourth round of the Advancing Applied Analytics programme, we are looking to support teams who are working on local innovative and ambitious projects that can demonstrate how they will improve analytical capability in support of health and care services and provide lessons for the wider care system.  

We have £750,000 of funding to support up to 12 good quality projects that:

• improve analytical capability and can show how this will support better care in the future
• are led by a local/regional NHS or social care provider or commissioning organisation including local authorities, though partnerships with other groups and sectors are welcome
• could benefit from funding of up to a maximum of £75,000 per project
• start no later than October 2020 for a maximum duration of 15 months.

For the first time, this fourth round of the programme will be supported by NHSX. NHSX is leading the largest digital health and social care transformation programme in the world and aims to drive digital, analytical and tech maturity in local NHS organisations in order to improve care.

By supporting the Advancing Applied Analytics programme NHSX is focussing on these aims and on innovation in the NHS. NHSX will contribute to the selection process by nominating assessors to take part, alongside many other external stakeholders from across the UK and colleagues that act as peer reviewers. NHSX will also provide support to successful projects to facilitate sustained improvement and spread of innovation across health and social care.

The Health Foundation will continue to lead and manage each project with the same approach as all previous rounds and will be responsible for final selection of successful projects from across the UK.

Further information can be found on the NHSX website.  

The Advancing Applied Analytics programme is open to applicants across the UK. 

The deadline for applications is noon, Monday 13 January 2020.

What the quality of work means for our health

The analysis presents evidence on how work influences health, and explores key trends and inequalities in employment, job quality and job security.

This analysis is first in a series we’re launching throughout 2020 exploring trends and inequalities in the wider factors that influence our health – from work and income to transport and our surroundings.

If you have any questions about the analysis or would be interested in hearing more about opportunities to have a Health Foundation speaker at your events or meetings, do get in touch.

Best wishes,
