In his first budget statement yesterday the Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne, said that he will control spending in government departments to 'get more for less'.
Wendy Gauntley, Manger of the Lean Healthcare Academy said "No one can argue that the huge burden of debt resting on the country's shoulders has to be reduced and that lean times are ahead for us all. In these times of budget cuts and increased scrutiny on how and where money is spent the Healthcare sector will still be expected to provide a world class service with excellent levels of patient care, a daunting task.
However there are methods and techniques that will allow the Healthcare sector to meet this challenge. The application of Lean principles to, amongst many of its uses, redesign pathways, change the way people work and think about working can have dramatic effects on a Trust. This is why we run the completely free of charge Getting MORE for Less Healthcare seminar series to share best practice and help you solve the problems that are facing your organisation. Come along and we'll show you how to make real cost and time savings while still improving the patient experience. "
The events are aimed at NHS personnel who are tasked with service improvement and key financial responsibilities, including education leads, learning and development teams and transformation and reform teams.
Previous expert guest speakers include Dr Richard Pope, Director of Innovation and Research at Airedale NHS Trust who gave a brilliantly received talk on the benefits of Telehealth and how it can be implemented, Ian Carruthers, Training and Education Manager at University Hospital of North Staffordshire NHS Trust who provided a thought provoking lesson on the cost and time savings brought through the adoption of e-Learning and Jacqueline Morton, Head of Reform at Southern Health and Social Care Trust in Northern Ireland also spoke about their very successful Releasing Time to Care project.
The free seminars are organised jointly by the Lean Healthcare Academy, leaders in the field of training, implementation and sustaining improvement activities across the whole health economy, and its sister e-learning organisation, the Healthcare e-Academy, which delivers clinical and non-clinical online training programmes to the NHS. Both are operating divisions of online training pioneer Virtual College of West Yorkshire.
