In healthcare, some of the most meaningful innovations happen when the right people are brought together in the right place.

Episode Sponsored by Naq   In this week's episode, Ben shares his journey to reducing health inequality by cutting waiting lists and helping more patients access care through the power of AI.    We discussed:   

xWave Technologies, an Irish Healthtech start-up, today announced that it has won its first competitive UK tender covering 8 NHS Trusts in the Northeast of England. xWave will provide its proprietary clinical decision support (CDS) software to GPs across the region serving over 3 million patients, helping them access the right diagnostic test for patients at the right time. To fund ambitious expansion plans, xWave, headquartered at NovaUCD in Dublin, has also launched a crowdfunding campaign on the Spark Crowdfunding platform with €725K already committed by existing shareholders. Mitchell O'Gorman, CEO, xWave Technologies, said, "As providers of CDS technology, we empower clinicians to select the most appropriate imaging tests for their patients. This is in keeping with the company mission of 'best test first' for patients. This contract win is a validation of the value that xWave brings in helping reduce patient waiting lists and easing pressures on health services. We want to bring this important solution to new markets with this funding round on the Spark Crowdfunding platform, while further developing our AI capabilities in this area." He added, "In total, this year alone, our annual recurring revenue has reached €500k. This is why we're fund raising. We have the right technology, and we can scale very rapidly to capture our share of what is a massive worldwide market." xWave CDS leverages clinical decision support technology to significantly help referral and vetting processing for radiology clinicians to help patients get the most appropriate scan first, and fast. Timely and accurate diagnosis of patients can give the best health outcomes possible. In radiology the US FDA has estimated that up to 50% of advanced radiology scans may be unnecessary and not of benefit to the patients that they are performed on. This can result in long waiting lists and poor patient outcomes, including delayed diagnoses, missed diagnoses and unnecessary radiation exposure. It also costs health systems substantial sums of money spent annually on unnecessary radiology scans. xWave CDS addresses these issues by ensuring that patients are referred for the best test for them at the right time. Chris Burge, CEO, Spark Crowdfunding, said, "This is another great investment opportunity for anyone willing to invest from €100 upwards. There are attractive tax breaks as well, providing an ideal chance to start building a personal share portfolio or nest egg." Investments made into the xWave opportunity attract EIIS relief. xWave has previously raised €2.8 million in funding including €250k from Enterprise Ireland.

Roy Lilley started his first enterprise from scratch over half a century ago. In 1989, his multi-million pound business was sold to fellow directors and managers. As a policy advisor and visiting fellow at Imperial College, London, he helped start the Health Services Management School at Nottingham University and was founder of the Federation of NHS Trusts, which became today's NHS Confederation. For over ten years now, Roy has written an e-letter (a bitesize podcast series) that reaches 300,000 health and care managers in the UK and overseas. A former chairman of Homewood NHS Trust in Surrey and former mayor of his borough council there, Roy Lilley has a wealth of public administration experience and has written for the Guardian, the Sunday Times, the Daily Telegraph and a number of other newspapers and periodicals. He is also a regular columnist in Pharmaceutical Marketing Magazine. He is a refreshingly honest and open man and willing to debate issues thoroughly. His enthusiasm and passion for the National Health Service is clear for all to see, and his comparative knowledge of healthcare systems is instructive; for example, he points out that Britain has proportionally far less management in healthcare than France or the USA. In a relaxed and frank interview, UK Column Nursing Correspondent Debi Evans talks to Roy about the current crisis in the NHS. Debi, a retired State Registered Nurse and a self-described old-school Ward Sister, also served for five years as a UK Government Advisor at the Department of Health and Social Care. Her conversation with Roy goes back to the days when hospitals were places full of flowers, nurses attended the sick in starched uniforms, and relatives were the real ‘regulators'; and when smiles, reassurance and tender loving care was a given, free at the point of contact. Fast forward to 2022 and digitisation, artificial intelligence and data gathering appears to have taken over from good old healthcare. Gone are the days when a nurse would hold your hand and take your pulse; today, you're likely to be scanned with an iPad. What is the state of the health of the NHS? Will the NHS Long Term Plan work? Is the NHS in a terminal condition, or can it be saved? If it can be saved, who will save it? This is the first of a series of interviews with Roy Lilley. UK Column looks forward to the next instalment of the Roy and Debi's common-sense NHS conversations. 

Three times voted the top speaker on NHS topics, Roy Lilley visits more than 20 NHS establishments a year and travels the UK and the world talking about healthcare, management and policy.

 He says, "Healthcare is my interest, my challenge, my passion and I am lucky to be involved with the professionals who make our lives healthier, our families safer and each of us proud of what we do."

Grief comes to all of us at one stage or another and so Michelle and Liz wanted to tackle the subject head-on with the CEO and Founder of The Good Grief Trust, Linda Magistris. Join them as they discuss everything from the lack of support for bereaved families to dealing with both the shorter and longer-term impact of losing someone close to you. They also explore the reasons why death is such a taboo subject in the modern world and why it needs to change. KEY TAKEAWAYS  There is a lack of centralised support in the health industry for bereavement. Health professionals are very inconsistent in the support and resources they offer to people suffering from grief. Dealing with death isn't just what happens after you have lost someone. Pre-bereavement support can be invaluable. When founding The Good Grief Trust, Linda recognised that she needed to take things online. So that she could tailor support for every situation as well as keep them continually up to date. Linda's media background reassured her that she would be able to get a lot of great recognition and support for the charity for free. To date, she has some incredible patrons of the charity including actor Dame Penelope Wilton DBE and former Wham member Shirlie kemp as well as Linda's former co-star on Grange Hill Todd Carty, and actor, Greg Wise. Connecting various organizations and groups together was one of Linda's main drives in building The Good Grief Trust. So that everyone could work together to create a strong network of support for anyone and everyone that needs it. There are so many different forms and types of grief, it is essential people get tailored support for what they are going through. We often don't know how to support those around us suffering from grief, but being compassionate and kind can mean the world to someone, even if you don't have the right words. There is no timeline for grief. It can also change. What you might need one day might be totally different a week or even an hour later. People need compassion, patience and understanding. BEST MOMENTS  “If the health professionals don't know of the big national charities, they need to have that information, they need to know what is available for everyone” “Bereavement is everyone's business. Bereavement is something that all of us are going to experience at one time” “There is no timeline for grief” “There's an absolute lack of kindness and understanding” “Your grief is unique” EPISODE RESOURCES   The Good Grief Trust The Good Grief Trust YouTube ABOUT THE GUEST     Linda Magistris Linda first met her partner Graham Theakston when she was an actress in the original cast of Grange Hill in 1978. Graham was one of the directors and by chance, they met again 30 years later. She had been running a portfolio of businesses since they first worked together, from a Wedding Consultancy to Vintage Tea Rooms, and Graham was a BAFTA-winning success in TV and Film and they spent 8 very happy years together until sadly he was diagnosed with a rare soft tissue sarcoma, an aggressive form of cancer, and died five and half months later. After his death, Linda struggled to cope with her grief, with limited access or knowledge around the support services that could help her individual needs.  She realised that the UK did not have one central signposting resource to help health professionals in their work supporting the bereaved and so in 2016 The Good Grief Trust charity and website was launched.  The Good Grief Trust is now the UK's leading bereavement network, with over 900 charities and support services under one umbrella.   Their condolence and signposting card is distributed to all NHS Trusts in England, GP practices, community services and those working with the bereaved and the charity has developed a vast, interactive and supportive community across their extensive social platforms.  They are Secretariat and co-founder of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Bereavement Support, working with Government to influence improvement to UK bereavement care and creator of the National Grief Awareness Week campaign. Linda's vision is to ensure that no-one who is grieving falls through the net, and that anyone bereaved under any circumstance knows they are not alone and that there is help and hope for a way forward with their life.  ‘Grief can be complicated, but access to support should never be' ABOUT THE HOSTS Liz Copping is a Networking Pro & event consultant, leaping out of her comfort zone to co-host this podcast. Lizcopping@outlook.com Michelle Ford is a professional voice actor and empty nester pressing the reset button in midlife and enjoying a new career in podcasting! michelleford1000@gmail.com CONTACT METHOD https://www.instagram.com/twowomenchatting/ https://twitter.com/ChattingTwo https://www.facebook.com/twowomenchatting PODCAST DESCRIPTION Join hosts Liz and Michelle redefining life over 50 as empty nesters, embracing the highs and lows of midlife with celebrity guests and experts, sharing a laugh on their podcast sofa. We talk about real concerns, issues and fun topics that affect us, our friends, and our family.  Midlife is not just about the menopause (although we'd be the first to admit it's right up there!) but it is a time of adventure, change and reset - with plenty of opportunities and challenges along the way.  Whether we're chatting about ‘boomerang kids', diet failures (and occasional successes!), pro-ageing, travel, changing relationships or inspiration for new jobs or activities, there's always room for one more on our sofa.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Too often, patients need to repeat their medical history when in contact with different healthcare providers. Consequently, clinicians need more time to make decisions than necessary because they can't access patient data. London managed to digitize urgent care plans and make them available across 40 NHS Trusts and 1400 GP offices.  This episode presents the Urgent Care Plan Programme, aiming at giving clinicians easy access to patients' desires about their care, as defined in their care plan. Patients can fill out an urgent care plan at various points in their patient journey. The problem so far has been that accessing these plans by different providers was often difficult. Now the situation is improved with an introduction of a regional platform that stores urgent care plans and enables different care teams to access them when needed.  Urgent Care Plan Programme is a part of OneLondon Portfolio. OneLondon is a project that supports a vision of joined-up health and care. It is a pan-London collaboration between leaders from the 5 Integrated Care Systems in the capital.   London's healthcare system is complex. It covers a population of 10 million people and is connecting 35 NHS Trusts and 1385 GP practices. As part of the OneLondon portfolio, the Urgent Care Plan Programme led the design and implementation of a new digital care planning solution in 2021. This solution enables Londoners to have their care, and support wishes digitally shared with healthcare professionals across the capital. By connecting all care levels, clinicians can now easily access urgent care plans to guide them in the care they provide to patients based on patient's individual preferences.  This episode presents what urgent care plans are, why they matter, and more as explained by Dr Phil Koczan, GP in North East London, and the Chief Clinical Safety Officer for London, Dr Katherine Buxton, Consultant in Palliative Care Medicine for Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust and Clinical Director, Palliative and End of Life Care Strategic Clinical Network for London. They explained what the joint urgent care plan means for patients and healthcare providers in London.  More about OneLondon: https://www.onelondon.online/ More about Urgent Care Planning: https://ucp.onelondon.online/ MONTHLY Newsletter which recaps episodes in the past month: https://fodh.substack.com/ www.facesofdigitalhealth.com The topic of this episode is supported by Better - a provider of an open data digital health platform, electronic prescribing and medication administration solution, and low code tools that help you rapidly build applications that suit your needs.

In a world exclusive, today Kate Bush gives Emma Barnett her reaction to being discovered by a new generation and making it to number 1 in the UK singles charts 44 years after her first chart-topper Wuthering Heights. Running Up That Hill was first released in 1985 and its use in the Netflix hit series Stranger Things has made Kate Bush a social media and streaming sensation. We also speak to Caitlin Moran about how rare it is to hear from Kate and why she is inspired by her songs. A report out today has found that the number of abortions has increased over the course of the pandemic. The cost of living has been cited as a key factor for this rise at an uncertain time in the economy and with job insecurity. Mary-Ann Stephenson is co-director of the Women's Budget Group, an independent body which analyses the impact of government policy on women. A decision is also expected any day from the US Supreme Court on whether to overturn Roe v Wade – the historic 1973 ruling which has guaranteed women access to abortion nationwide. At the centre of this legal challenge, is a woman who is being hailed by some as the lawyer who could end Roe v Wade. She is the Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch…and the BBC's Holly Honderich joins Emma to explain more. Twice as many women than men are receiving electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) according to researchers at the University of East London. ECT is used to treat a range of mental health issues including severe depression, long-lasting mania, and catatonia. But an FOI request to twenty NHS Trusts has also revealed that older women are also more likely to be receiving treatment. They are concerned it causes memory loss and that patients are not given sufficient information to make informed decisions before they give consent to treatment. Emma is joined by one of the lead researchers, clinical psychologist Dr Chris Harrop and by Dr Trudi Seneviratne, Registrar of the Royal College of Psychiatry. Emma speaks to the writer, DJ and broadcaster, Annie Mac on what has been a big week for music. They discuss Beyonce's new single, Break My Soul, which marks a change of musical genre for her as it's a House track. They talk about the history of house music and it's cultural shifts and about Kate Bush and Glastonbury 2022.
