Integrated care and the connections to make it happen
The programme highlights include:
A keynote by Dr Nick Goodwin, our co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of the International Foundation for Integrated Care (IFIC) who will share his experience and the latest evidence about the design and delivery of integrated health and social care.
Dr Goodwin will draw upon integrated models of care to explore some of the key enablers including policy, digital solutions, clinical leadership and coproduction, which can help to achieve a more integrated approach to health and social care in NHS Wales.
A collection of case studies from NHS Wales, which will demonstrate how we are connecting people and systems to provide better patient experience, improved health outcomes and a more integrated approach to care.
A market place to provide the opportunity to network, share good practice and make invaluable new connections with colleagues across Wales to improve quality and safety.
A keynote by Jos de Blok, founder and head of Buurtzorg, the unique district nursing system in the Netherlands which has garnered international acclaim for being entirely nurse-led and cost effective.
Mr de Blok will explore the move from a fragmented system to one that is connected and empowered to meet the needs of an ageing population, He will be joined on the platform by Brendan Martin from Public World- Buurtzorg’s UK partner, who will consider how NHS Wales can learn from the model to achieve higher levels of patient satisfaction, a reduction in the cost of care provision and a focus on self management.”
An expert panel debate to consider how we use our connections, improvement training and clinical expertise across Wales to achieve a more integrated approach to patient care.
