📢 New episode 📢 By the end of 2023, Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust had made the most improvement on waiting lists for emergency care than any other trust in England. How did they do it? In this episode, Matthew Taylor sits down with the trust’s chief executive, Matthew Trainer, to find out more, and they get candid about leadership and improvement in testing times. Matthew details the challenges faced since taking up post in 2021 and how investment in management, staff engagement, primary and community care and digital transformation has supported the London trust’s improvement journey. Plus, with the results of the mayoral elections now in, Matthew Taylor unpacks why they matter to the NHS. He is joined by the NHS Confederation’s head of health economic partnerships, Michael Wood, who explains why metro mayors should be seen as ‘chief delivery officers’ and why the country is becoming more accustomed to devolution.

📢 New report 📢 There are growing parallels between local government devolution and integrated care systems (ICSs). Leaders are now actively asking how they can work together to best serve their populations. In spring 2023, alongside the Local Government Association, we established a Health and Devolution Working Group to understand the priorities, opportunities and challenges in bringing together health and local government devolution. Our new report builds on the rich learning from the working group and sets out why ICSs and combined authorities should work together to jointly improve health and support economic prosperit;, how they can maximise their collective impact for their shared populations; and what government needs to do to support and accelerate the health and devolution agenda in future. ⚠The timing of this report is important. There is a narrow window open in which to simultaneously look back and learn from past approaches to devolution from either a geographical or a health and care perspective, but also to look forward at what a more standardised approach to decentralisation might look like and entail, before various reforms make merging these vital areas too complex a task. ⬇ Download the report for practical insights on health and devolution: https://lnkd.in/ehQPT3Ez
