Data science providing actionable insights to tackle NHS workforce challenges
James Kendall, head of Workforce Intelligence, Medway NHS Foundation Trust and Mike Tresise, senior
management consultant, NHS Shared Business Services
The workforce challenges facing the NHS are well documented, with recruitment, retention, scarce resources, staff productivity and
wellbeing issues all raised at a national level.
In recent years there have been many developments across all sectors in the use of data science & analytics applied to human
resources. Organisations are developing analytical tools to predict why employees may leave, and provide actionable insights to
tackle staff attrition.
Partnering with Medway NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) NHS SBS developed a proof of concept (POC) predictive analytics system to
develop actionable insights and signpost interventions to help the Trust improve staff retention and reduce staff attrition.
Following the successful POC Medway have now adopted the service and NHS SBS are completing the automation of the machine
learning, analytics and reporting to enable the provision of reports and insights to more NHS organisations.
This presentation will set out the journey from defining the organisational challenge, evaluating how data science techniques could
be used to provide actionable insights, and highlighting the potential for data science to optimise the use of resources across the
NHS.

The power of collaboration and community in health and care estates
Leighton Chumbley, chief executive, Prime. Chaired by Debbie Paterson, policy and technical manager, HFMA
The core of the Integrated Care System approach is multiple-organisation collaboration. In this session, we will explain
how we are working with two health systems to create new Urban Health and Care Villages.
Focusing on a community’s specific needs and consolidating in one location in the heart of the community – the town centre –
simultaneously regenerates these key areas post-pandemic. It creates the opportunity to bring together primary care, community
care, mental health services, later living and elderly care with other public services, alongside existing retail and leisure facilities.
Collaboration is key. Only by bringing together the NHS, wider health and social care service providers, the council and the community
itself will improve health outcomes for all – and importantly be affordable and therefore achievable. With wider collaboration from town
centre stakeholders, we can open the door to transformative economic and social regeneration in a way that hasn’t been possible
before.

Free London NHS Foundation Trust. Chaired by Patrick Shephard, head of Healthcare, Blue Prism

HFMA Summer conference 2021Day two – Thursday 24 June
11:00 There are harsh lessons from Covid-19 that need to be addressed
Professor Sir Chris Ham, non-executive chair of the Coventry and Warwickshire STP, non-executive director of the Royal Free
Hospitals and former chief executive of The Kings Fund
The scale of challenges facing the NHS were revealed in the March planning guidance which unveiled a large number of national
priorities related to covid and other conditions. The government has provided some additional funding to deliver these priorities but
only for the first half of 2021/22.
A recurring theme in the guidance is the expectation that NHS organisations will collaborate in integrated care systems instead of
working independently. With systems all at different stages in their development, NHS providers and commissioners will need to
redouble their commitments to collaboration and reach out to other partners in local government and the voluntary and community
sector as the NHS supports broader social and economic development.
With a wealth of experience to bring to this opening session, Sir Chris will draw upon his experiences as Chair of the Coventry &
Warwickshire ICS, he will further reflect on the health and social care white paper as well as the NHS planning guidance. The
challenge to deliver on national priorities as well as recover from Covid-19 in an NHS which has been stretched to its limit, proves
that this year is pivotal as we seek to navigate towards a brighter future.
For further reading prior to the session, you may be interested in a recent BMJ blog written by Sir Chris.

Leicestershire case study: Innovative Primary care funding model to address health inequalities
Nicci Briggs, executive director of finance, contracting and governance, Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland CCG’s and LLR
System Finance Lead. Chaired by Sue Jacques, chief executive, County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust
In this session, Nicci will describe the innovative approach LLR have taken to address health inequalities through transforming
primary care funding. The funding model adopted by LLR better aligns primary care funding with population need which is one of
the ways LLR has begun to realise its ambition as an ICS to drive up health equity and reduce health inequalities. The proposal
forms part of an overall LLR financial strategy supporting system transformation to deliver better outcomes. The model uses LLR
patient data to create a locally controlled funding model that can flex to existing and newly identified population needs.

shape.

Improving Trauma and Orthopaedic pathways using GIRFT
Kulandaivel Sakthivel, consultant trauma and orthopaedic surgeon, United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust. Chaired by Ian
Turner, director of finance and deputy chief executive, HFMA
United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust identified that work was needed to improve the patient pathway for trauma and
orthopaedic services. They used the national Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) programme to create a plan for improvement
which would involve a significant shift in how and where services were delivered. The service was also operating at a significant
loss so the aim was to improve the service experience for patients whilst also reducing the cost of delivery.
The trust undertook an ambitious plan to increase theatre activity, reduce cancellations and introduce new processes to manage
expenditure. The success of the project has only been possible through the collaborative work between the clinical team and the
finance department which culminated in the lead clinician winning the 2020 HFMA Working with finance – Clinician of the year
award. Mr. Sakthivel will talk through the processes they went through and the results they have achieved.
12:15 Breakout session 6B
Delivering a value-based lymphoedema service
Melanie Thomas, national clinical lead for Lymphoedema in Wales. Chaired by Adele Cahill, assistant director of Value-Based
Health Care and national lead Value-Based Procurement, NHS Wales
While few would argue against the concept of value-based healthcare, it can be hard to make the case for change without seeing
the evidence that it works in real life. Organisations in Wales have been pursuing a value-driven approach for a number of years
and the results are now starting to become clear. In this session, Melanie will share details of the work to transform Lymphoedema
services in Wales using value as the key focus and the results they have achieved both in terms of improved outcomes and reduced
costs.

Mooring the local economy: How NHS anchor organisations can play a part in the wider economic and social recovery
post covid 19
Michael Wood, head of Health Economic Partnerships, NHS Confed. Chaired by Sue Jacques, chief executive, County Durham
and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust
System leaders may be familiar with the concept of NHS organisations as local anchor institutions but how has this developed in
light of the pandemic? In a December 2020 report, (Health on the Highstreet) the NHS Confederation highlighted that as a result
of a potential loss of the high street, health and wealth in local areas will start to deteriorate, therefore what can NHS anchor
organisations do in response to this and how can they realise their full potential?
Delegates attending this session can expect an interactive session which seeks to highlight different ways of thinking as system
finance leaders. Attendees will be left wondering whether their horizons are broad enough and whether their local relationships
are strong enough to support effective public sector leadership.
Michael will cover the role of anchor institutions, examples of where leaders locally have bent the curve on traditional NHS practice
to unlock economic and social value, an exploration of social value and procurement and health on the high street. Michael will
also talk about his experiences advising on the development of the NHS London Anchor Network, which has recently launched in
the capital. For further reading prior to the session, you may also be interested in the NHS Confed Health as the new wealth report.

across the country and works on a regional basis to make positive improvements across NHS Finance.
The NHS Finance Sponsorship Programme is another popular and key One NHS Finance programme that supports staff from
under-represented groups at director level to progress their careers. This programme is available to finance staff working at all
grades and is beneficial to those looking to progress into more senior roles with the support from senior finance leaders within their
organisations / local systems.
In this session you will hear from I&D Ambassadors from the East of England Network - Lore and from the North West Network -
Tuan, who will talk through some of the work they have already implemented in such a short space of time on the EDI agenda, as
well as providing a personal perspective on why singing up to the network is both beneficial and rewarding.
You will then hear from Hardev and Zak about their Sponsorship relationship and how the programme has helped them both in
terms of professional development, and how it can support more people across finance - including how to sign up.

Using advanced analytics to identify and understand clinical variations
Dawn Scrafield, chief finance officer, Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, Saman Wickramasinghe, senior costing
finance manager, Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, Jasper Clouting, analytics consultant, IQVIA and Dmitry Dorsky,
strategy director, IQVIA
Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust has successfully implemented advanced machine learning and predictive analytics
to focus on “unwarranted” variations. Working with IQVIA, we have developed a process to accurately identify these variations
across key metrics such as length of stay, cost, theatre time, readmissions and mortality - all adjusted for the main clinical factors
such as age, gender & complexity.
This evidence based approach has led to improved and effective clinical engagement. The advanced analytical methodology can
be deployed on any scale (from a specific Trust’s Service review to the ICS reconfiguration analysis) and provides tangible results
in a matter of weeks.

A new methodology for service transformation
Malcolm Lowe-Lauri, head of Health & Life Science Consulting, Grant Thornton UK LLP. Chaired
by Sarah Day, policy and research manager, HFMA
In this session we will explore a new approach to transformational work which has been generated in response to clinical and
service modelling for hospital redevelopment programmes and for ICSs and Health Boards for their system-wide transformation
strategies.
Malcom will draw on the extensive work done with NHS colleagues in areas such as NHS Bolton and Wigan Council, Cardiff &
Vale and Princess Alexandra and Northern Devon Hospital Trusts.
We will hear examples of:
• Planning on the basis of deep knowledge of your ‘place’ through development of local knowledge platforms and analytical
capability
• Risk stratification of populations and patient groups
• Rethinking service models with the objective of the ‘small hospital’, to strengthen the clinical and financial cases for HIP
schemes
• Co-creation – ‘local experts together with our experts’
We will examine how these kinds of advancements in demand modelling, place-based planning, service model transformation and
clinical pathway development can equip the NHS for integrated care delivery and the workforce journey ahead, using a new blend
of behavioural science, technology and traditional improvement science. Malcom will discuss how this kind of service
transformation reconciles back to the finances, and will leave us with thoughts on how to get going locally – starting small and
building from there.

Advancing the NHS’s use of leading technology through shared knowledge and collective strength
Craig Alderson, head of Applications, NEP and Sara Taylor, transition manager, NEP. Chaired by Caroline
Clarke, group chief executive, Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust and HFMA president
During the last 18 months the NHS has faced a period of time unlike any other. It is fair to say that the way we all work has changed
significantly and at a much quicker pace than the NHS is accustomed to.
The Covid19 pandemic has pushed people out of their comfort zone, forcing us all to reassess the way we work and with costly
office space it has heightened the need for systems to be accessed remotely. The challenges IT departments have faced have
been monumental, from the move to remote working, the huge demand on the Procure to Pay function, to ensuring continuity of
service, and hitting reduced payment timescales whilst forging relationships with new suppliers.
In this session we will explore how the use of advancing technology such as the NEP Cloud solution can relieve these kinds of
pressures and can change how we shape the way we work, building greater efficiencies in the future. Craig will share examples
from NHS organisations who have joined and worked with NEP throughout the pandemic, using the technology to enable continued
business as usual, and going from point of project initiation to system go-live within three months.
We will discuss how the shared knowledge and collective strength of the NHS users has facilitated the advancement of this
technology, removing inefficient and time-consuming processes, and moving NHS organisations to a 21st century platform.

Using technology to improve value – an e-health system case study
Jon Burton, head of Web & Digital, Sara Wise, senior clinical project manager and Clare Moran, consultant clinical psychologist
and head of Eating Disorders, Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. Chaired by Sarah Day, policy and research manager,
HFMA
Value in healthcare is about improving outcomes and experiences for patients and service users while maintaining or reducing
costs. As more examples come to light, improving how a service is delivered or focusing on quality improvement often comes with
cost reduction as a by-product. Having identified the need for a way to support service users outside of normal clinical service
‘office hours’, Berkshire Healthcare NHS FT developed an e-health system to support people struggling with eating disorders. The
idea was to give service users access to support 24/7 using a secure, social network of peer and clinician moderators, carers and
those who had recovered from their condition.
The Support Hope and Recovery Online Network (SHARON) was first launched in the eating disorder service and has proven
extremely successful. The project set out to improve outcomes and service experience but has also led to reduced demand for
eating disorder outpatient attendances, inpatient beds, and improved rates of sustained recovery. The approach has also now
been expanded to Early Intervention in Psychosis, Perinatal, Talking Therapies and CAMHS including professionals working in
education with in excess of 9000 members having been supported through the platform. In this session the presenters will talk
through the process they went through to make the project happen, the support from the Board in getting funding, the results they
have achieved and the areas where costs have been saved.

A sustainable and green approach to healthcare delivery through cultural change
Chris Moreton, assistant director Commissioning and Value, National Collaborative Commissioning Unit, NHS Wales and John
Williams, executive director of finance, Sheffield Children's NHS Foundation Trust. Chaired by Lisa Robertson, policy and
research manager, HFMA
In this session we will hear from two presenters who are on differing journeys to implement a sustainable and green approach to
healthcare delivery, but who are equally aligned in their goal and in the need to drive cultural change to achieve it.
Chris will begin by giving an overview of the NHS Wales Finance Academy education programme, which is enabling finance and
procurement to take a leadership role in delivering economic, social and environmental value by influencing the culture and decision
making of their organisations. Chris will discuss how social and environmental factors are interlinked, and the need to look beyond
purely financial information in order to change mindsets and drive change on multiple levels.
We will then hear from John and a case study at Sheffield Children’s where the trust’s green plan took just over a year to gain full
board approval in the midst of a pandemic. John will take us through the approach they took to get this swift and fervent
engagement, including having a collective approach with a range of individuals involved including green plan champions, taking
the wider workforce on the journey by giving people permission to act, and connecting the plan’s objectives with the reason care
is given at the trust – for the health of the children and for their future.

Future-proofing Endoscopy Services at The Shrewsbury and Telford NHS Trust
James Drury, former director of finance, The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust. Chaired by Mike
Leach, head of Endoscopy Transformation Services, Althea
This session will explore how Shrewsbury & Telford NHS Trust met the financial and operational challenges
of delivering safe, efficient, and future-proofed endoscopy services.
Following audits by JAG/IHEEM the Trust identified and engaged a strategic partner, Althea UK & Ireland, to assist them in
reviewing their existing endoscopy services. The Althea Endoscopy Transformation Services (ETS) Team worked alongside a
multi-disciplinary team from the trust and proposed an Endoscopy Managed Service solution that would meet the key challenges
of increasing demand year on year, maintaining JAG/IHEEM standards, increasing use of Insourcing/outsourcing to meet demand
and COVID recovery.
During the session James will discuss the holistic approach to modernising SaTH’s endoscopy services by wrapping this into a
tailored Endoscopy Managed Service, and the benefits of developing a long term solution to a key strategic issue. This solution
addresses all of the trust’s needs including a flexible financing solution that releases significant capital, a financial model and
flexible funding to execute the program within existing CRL limits, and greater flexibility and minimized need for future insourcing.
