“I can plan my care with people who work together to
understand me and my carer(s), allow me control, and
bring together services to achieve the outcomes
important to me”.
“We are sick of falling through gaps. We are tired of
organisational barriers and boundaries that delay or
prevent our access to care. We do not accept being
discharged from a service into a void. We want services
to be seamless and care to be continuous”.
National Voices
“The patient is always a
person,
The person is sometimes a
patient.
The person is more than an
individual.
The person is part of a
context.
The person exists because of
their context”

Partnership of Equals- with patients not to

On-line self help tools reduced consultation
rates by ~20%.
“ All changes and new concepts that we initiate
in order to make the healthcare sector more
person- centred must include all stakeholders.
We must make sure that everybody is on board
or we are not likely to succeed”
Jacqueline Bowman-Busato European
Platform for Patients’ Organisations
“ There needs to be a radical redesign to move the
focus of health from a quality improvement health
focus to a courageous pursuit of wellbeing”
Donald Berwick

We spend too much time hearing about the
“what” and not enough about the “why”- data is a
poor motivator
Be a “Dot-Joiner”- orchestrate, encourage,
payment formats, it’s more sociology than
technology

Listen to the Nay-Sayers- they’re vocalising what
the silent majority think

Quality is never an accident. It’s always the
result of high intention, sincere effort,
intelligent direction and skilful execution. It
represents the wise choice of many
alternatives
Embed health in all government policy
Reduce Variability
Allow staff specialisation and create

Changes will be evolutionary not
revolutionary
Pace of change will be dictated by what
providers can cope with and wish to do
Underlying philosophy is to make care more
patient centred and coordinated
However changes should also make our work
more enjoyable and allow us to work to the
top of our scopes
