Proud of our team for our collaborative work with Surrey Heartlands Health and Care Partnership and @nhs_scft in reducing health inequalities and improving patient safety, with two projects recognised as finalists for the Health Service Journal Partnership Awards. #hsjpartnershipawards

Kicking off this #NHSConfedExpo with a train to Manchester and a great read in Martin Sadler‘s newly published book “Aspirationally Idle”. More turnips than expected, but lots of great content on managing services from a seasoned NHS IT leader. #nhsdigital #nhsdata #nhsit

#NHSConfedExpo kicks off with remarks from NHS Confederation Chair Victor Adebowale on all of the work underway to drive health and care provision, including financing, community partnerships, #psychologicalsafety for staff and commitments for digitally enabled mental health pathways.

In the #NHSConfedExpo opening session, #NHSE Chair Richard Meddings cited how tens of thousands of services and systems have migrated to the cloud. How are teams assessing the financial implications of a migration? View our latest piece, released yesterday, on key considerations.

Packed #NHSConfedExpo session on innovation and risk. From Hatim Abdulhussein, CEO at Health Innovation Kent Surrey Sussex: As we work across ICSs, we need to understand their needs and build innovation that is evidenced… innovation that can come from multiple parts of the health ecosystem. Health Innovation Network

Our own Hatim Abdulhussein, Chief Executive of Health Innovation Kent Surrey Sussex, opens our first session at #NHSConfedExpo by asking "How do we create the safe spaces to be able to test things out?" #HealthInnovationWorks

I didn’t realise that this year’s #NHSConfedExpo was pet-friendly.

Looking forward to learning from case studies on digital innovation at #NHSConfedExpo today, particularly the discussion on tackling health inequalities in NHS with tech – a topic we’ve thought about in depth, especially regarding digital inclusion: thepsc.co.uk/news-insights/…
