YOUR THOUGHTS ON INNOVATION
These are the results from the morning session of the event. We ran the same question at the end of the event with a slightly different audience but the trends in the results remained steady.
83% of attendees were very positive or positive about achieving adoption and spread of innovation in their organisations.
100% of NHS Senior leaders and clinicians and the voluntary sector were positive or very positive. NHS Managers, and colleagues from universities, industry and local government voted more towards a little positive and positive on the scale.
63% of attendees were very positive or positive about achieving the adoption and spread of innovation across Yorkshire and Humber.
33% of attendees were a little positive about achieving the adoption and spread of innovation across Yorkshire and Humber.
In this instance the majority of colleagues from all roles and sectors voted on the mid end of the scale.
YOUR PRIORITIES
EMBEDDING THE HIEC LEGACY
Following the presentations from Dawn Lawson, HIEC Director on the HIEC approach and Chris Butler and Christine Outram around the context and future innovation and education arrangements we asked the audience:
What aspects of the HIEC approach should be embedded in the new innovation and education arrangements?
Each of the four aspects of the approach were summarised as headings in the questions with more detail in the HIEC approach briefing .
The question was not about the HIEC as a mechanism/vehicle but rather about the work we have done which can either be:
- Embedded as it is in new systems
- Strengthened/built on over the coming year to be embedded in the new structures/systems
- Not taken forward into the new systems
What we are trying to get to is what shouldn’t be lost and what can be built on to deliver Value For Money?
The results were not significant in terms of variance between the different roles or sectors represented on the day. The overall feedback across all sectors and roles was as follows:
Collaboration, participation, networks and partnerships
Embed 46%
Strengthen 52%
Don’t take forward 2%
Evidence based innovations
Embed 43%
Strengthen 54%
Don’t take forward 3%
Education at the heart of what we do
Embed 46%
Strengthen 49%
Don’t take forward 5%
An enabling approach – systematic/managed
Embed 44%
Strengthen 48%
Don’t take forward 8%
We are pleased to see that the delegates attending the event would generally support the different aspects of the HIEC approach to be strengthened over the coming year and embedded into the new innovation and education arrangements, where possible. This is something we will be discussing with the HIEC Board in more detail in March with ideas for how we can build on the ways we are already doing this.
PRIORITY THEMES
Following general agreement that the HIEC approach is something we could build on and take forward we asked delegates to spend half an hour on the day thinking about If we were to apply the HIEC approach to another theme which theme would have the potential for the biggest impact in their organisation over the next 5 years?
A full list of the feedback is available and we have grouped the themes/priorities identified by delegates into key headings as follows:
- Educating, engaging and empowering patients, parents and other service users
- Dementia
- Care of the elderly and end of life care
- Mental and Physical health agenda
- Public Health
- Whole systems, integrated approach – across sectors and disciplines
- Workforce, education and training
- Leadership/communication and resources
- Falls
- Pressure sores
- Care closer to home
- Maternal and Infant Health and Care
The majority of discussions not only focussed on the possible themes/priorities but delegates also stressed that the whole systems, integrated approach – across sectors and disciplines should be applied to these priorities.
We will feed this into the emerging arrangements and consider with our board how this may impact future innovation work for the HIEC or any other innovation body.
