The Northern Ireland Confederation's Annual Conference, Good Practice & Innovation Showcase 2023 offered a unique opportunity for colleagues and partners from across the health and care system, as well as the voluntary and community sector to come together, share ideas, reflect, network and learn.
We met again for conference this year at a time of significant and sustained pressure, with the traditional challenges facing our Health and Social Care system having been further compounded by political uncertainty and the cost-of-living crisis.
As the 75th anniversary of the NHS and the forthcoming general election bring a renewed focus to the debate on the future of health and social care, in Northern Ireland we endeavoured to use our time together at conference to explore what we can do, working creatively and collaboratively, to turn pressure into possibility.
Over the course of a day and a half, we considered how we bring a system focus to the opportunities for health and delve deeper into our own agenda for the HSC - focusing on integration and prevention, investing in workforce, redesigning services, driving productivity, embracing technology and enabling innovation - all supported by a new, emerging style of inclusive and empowering leadership.
Speakers included:
- Peter May, Permanent Secretary, Department of Health; Chief Executive of the HSC
- Professor Tim Briggs, Chair, 'Getting it Right First Time' (GIRFT) programme; National Director for Clinical Improvement and Elective Recovery, NHS England
- Dr Helen Bevan, Professor of Practice in Health & Care Improvement, Warwick Business School, University of Warwick
- Siva Anandaciva, Chief Analyst, King’s Fund
- Matthew Taylor, Chief Executive, NHS Confederation
