Public Health Train the Trainers Session September 2013

Background to Academic Health Science Networks (AHSN) Innovation Health and Wealth (IHW) identified the system needs a stronger relationship between scientific and academic communities and industry to – develop solutions to health care problems – get existing solutions spread at pace and scale in the NHS. – develop stronger knowledge exchange networks to share best practice. AHSNs present a unique opportunity to – align education, clinical research, informatics, innovation, training and education and healthcare delivery to improve patient and population health outcomes – They will support knowledge exchange networks to build alliances across internal and external networks and actively share best practice, and provide for rapid evaluation and early adoption of new innovations AHSNs are system integrators and organisations which link different parts of the health system to ensure that a range of aspects to improve health outcomes are considered using proven methodology and improvement science to lead large scale, sustainable transformational change across traditional boundaries.

10 In the patient or carer's interest New approaches, ideas or suggestions of whatever size, large or small, and from anyone irrespective of their role or seniority Not always doing things as they have been done before Often small ideas that staff think about in their everyday work Very often original ideas that go unrecognised as the innovator may be modest about the change Accepting challenge about current practice and responding to that challenge Taking a risk to do something new or alter existing practice maybe a novel or fresh idea Improving something that's already good and sharing that improvement with others Ordinary things done in new or modified ways - a go head approach Never too small or too insignificant to share; never too large or ambitious to be considered!
