‘Nurses are voting with their feet’, so said a report by the RCN in February of this year, describing the mass exodus of tens of thousands of skilled and experienced nurses.

Headline discussion points: How virtual wards are addressing workforce capacity issues. Case studies of tech-enabled virtual wards that have improved efficiency and patient outcomes. How virtual wards can offer news ways of engaging with the workforce that enhance wellbeing without compromising patient care. What attendees will learn: How tech enabled virtual wards are addressing NHS capacity issues head-on. How to set up a virtual ward for success and ensure buy-in from all stakeholders. The opportunity present for teams who embrace tech-enabled virtual wards. Register

It is now clear that hormone pregnancy test Primodos, the epilepsy drug sodium valproate, and that pelvic mesh causes avoidable harm to many thousands of women and children. Yet recognising these potential harms took many years, and it is still the case that the service does not know the identities of all those affected or potentially affected. The main reason is lack of data. Knowing which patients have received which medicines and devices where, and quickly connecting longer-term outcomes, has traditionally been somewhere between impossible and extremely slow and difficult. Unnecessary harm has often been the result. So how can the NHS solve this issue? What do we know about the traditional challenges with traceability in healthcare and the shortcomings of current data collection techniques? How can it be ensured that the right products are being used for the right patient? What approaches and technologies might solve these challenges, ensuring that the right products are being used for the right patient? How could this fit into wider digital transformation work, and resulting data best be used to improve patient safety and outcomes? This HSJ webinar, run in association with GS1 UK, will bring together a small panel to consider the answers to these important questions. Register

Digital innovations bring many opportunities to transform healthcare services, and to improve people’s health and experiences of care. However, introducing and using technology has continued to prove difficult, and there is still a lot to achieve to deliver on the promise of digital transformation. This event will bring together leading innovators and delegates to network and collectively and creatively develop strategies that enable innovative practice. During this in-person event at The King’s Fund, experts will discuss current innovations – such as, virtual wards, shared care records, remote monitoring, and robotic process automation (RPA) – in the context of the wider health care landscape, and consider how to overcome the barriers people face to implementation.
