‘Do sweat the small stuff!’ - reflections from NHS Confederation Expo. As always, #NHSConfedExpo was a stimulation on all the senses! The mass of stands, presentations, speakers and themes always provides an interesting view of the world of NHS leadership and policy development.   This year there was a noticeable increase in presence for the VCSE and those who are leading from the perspective of lived experiences with National Voices The Patients Association Healthwatch England all playing an active part in the sessions and the likes of Picker and Stand proactively discussing the power of patient experiences to drive improvement and change.   But I can’t help but wonder to what extent this is icing on the cake and whether the role of #patients and #communities is really valued for all that it can bring. There is no denying that the biggest presence in the room was once again big tech. It’s certainly where the money sits as evidenced by the flashy stands and gallons of free-flowing free coffee.   Along with my colleagues Laura Golding and Isabella Carreon from The Point of Care Foundation our biggest takeaway was the importance and impact of the small stuff - such as providing break room spaces for staff that don’t have resident mice and cockroaches, having hot meals for staff working long hours, re-opening a community soft play area that is used as an informal community hub. It starts with listening well to patients, staff and communities.   The solutions to many of the challenges lie in how communities are able to respond to the problems they face. Both Matthew Taylor and Chris Ham spoke of the need to devolve more power locally to the VCSE and communities with a focus on prevention, primary care and holistic person-centred approaches. Building services around and with people. Music to our ears, but how do you move this from rhetoric to reality? By empowering the assets of community, investing locally, in a significant and sustainable way. Shifting some of the resourcing from big shiny solutions, to smaller more nuanced community led ones. Accepting the complexity of people’s lives as normal and working differently with people to understand their health and care in context, building solutions back from where people are at.   Sarah Woolnough talked about the need to have a different kind of conversation with the public, and made a call to action to stop talking about doing it and get on with it!

Homelessness is a healthcare issue with few models to learn from; this session offers an alternative. HCD Healthcare Design Expo & Conference's session "Health Begins With Home" featuring HED's Sharon E. Woodworth, FAIA ACHA EDAC LEED, Cindy Ferrer, and Richard Baker, COO of Union Rescue Mission - Los Angeles, explores homelessness as a healthcare issue through the analysis of Angeles House, supportive housing that offers women and their children a place to live while receiving basic healthcare fundamentals and life skills to maintain health for themselves and their families in South Los Angeles. Attendees will: 1. Explore the relationship between #healthcare and #homelessness; 2. Identify the differences & commonalities when planning and designing for healthcare, hospitality, and residential settings; 3. Summarize how trauma-informed #design can support better health in any setting; 4. Identify programmatic features to incorporate into traditional care-delivery settings Register: https://ow.ly/ANte50PYIhq #HEDadvances #healthcaredesign #healthcarearchitecture #housingdesign #HCDexpo2023 #traumainformeddesign

🌟 Envisioning the Hospital as a Community Conveyor and Organizer 🌟 Echoes in Healthcare Our journey through the evolving landscape of healthcare highlights a critical need: to envision and navigate towards a system that not only meets but also anticipates the needs, values, and aspirations of its community. This vision transcends the traditional boundaries of hospitals and clinics, proposing a future where healthcare is an integral, proactive part of the community fabric. In this envisioned future, healthcare is not confined to reactive services within hospital walls but is a comprehensive, inclusive approach that reaches out, engaging and supporting communities at their core. The COVID-19 pandemic and the social movements, notably the Black Lives Matter movement following George Floyd's murder, have both illuminated the disparities in our current system and underscored the potential of healthcare institutions to act as community organizers and pillars. The shift towards a people-centered care model involves reimagining hospitals and healthcare providers as vital community members—actively engaging in, contributing to, and being influenced by the social and communal networks that support and sustain us. This model views hospitals not just as places for medical intervention but as active, organizing forces within the community, championing social and health equity. 📈 Join us as we continue to explore and advocate for this people-centered healthcare future, where the hospital's role extends beyond care delivery to become a central hub for community health and well-being. 🔗 Explore the newsletter post: https://buff.ly/3SWfKG9 #HealthcareInnovation #CommunityCare #PeopleCenteredCare #SocialDeterminantsOfHealth #HealthEquity

Positively impacting lives is at the core of everything we do!

Areas for improvement in hospital culture, per AHA: A recent American Hospital Association report found hospitals are doing well at empowering staff in quality improvement and supporting educational growth, but are falling behind in community and board engagement. http://dlvr.it/T9cYHp
