Send us a textWandering around Chicago in 1912 William Klann was a man on a mission. He was part of a team set up to explore ways in which they could reduce the costs of manufacturing a car to fulfil Henry Ford's vision of ‘a motor car for the great multitude'. They had already developed many of the ideas behind mass production — standardized and interchangeable parts, short task cycle work, specialist machinery — but what Klann saw while walking past the Swift Meat Packing Company's factory gave him an insight into a key piece of the puzzle.The workers were effectively disassembling meat carcasses, stripping off various joints and cuts as the animals were led past them on a moving overhead conveyor. In a classic moment of insight, he saw the possibility of reversing this process — and within a short space of time, the Ford factory boasted the world's first moving assembly line. Productivity rocketed as the new idea was implemented and refined; using the new approach Ford was able to cut the assembly time for a Model T to just 93 minutes.60 years later, and in another part of the world, Dr Govindappa Venkataswamy retired. He'd worked for many years as Head of Opthalmology in the main hospital in Madurai, India, and decided to use his expertise and new-found free time to try and help prevent blindness in rural communities in his home state of Tamil Nadu. This was not an insignificant problem — whilst the treatment itself is well-developed it comes at a price; in an Indian hospital, the cost works out to around $300, and in a country where most people, especially in rural environments, earn less than $2/day such a price tag puts treatment out of reach.In order to achieve his dream he had to search outside the conventional health sector, seeking ideas from other worlds with similar challenges. Specifically, he looked for low-cost ways of carrying out activities systematically, reproducibly, and to a high-quality standard — and eventually found inspiration in McDonald's. He saw the underlying similarities in the core processes they used and adapted their principles of assembly line manufacturing to the context of eye surgery!Developing and refining what became known as the Aravind system has meant that the average cost of a cataract operation is now $25, and over 60% of patients are treated for free. This isn't done by compromising on quality — Aravind has better performance than many Western hospitals. It has become the world's largest and most productive eye-care service group, responsible for treating over 35 million patients with its low-cost/high-quality model.What these stories have in common is that they are working on the same problem, just in a different context. This is a powerful resource in innovation — answers don't always have to be new to the world, they can also be adapted from different contexts. Recombinant innovation.It's not a new idea. Thomas Edison was an early and active exponent, seeing the possibilities in drawing on many examples of proven technology and reapplying them in different fields. His ‘invention factory' in New Jersey offered the world ‘…a minor invention every ten days, and a big one every six months or so….' and it largely succeeded.This podcast explores the theme of recombinant innovation and some strategies to help develop it as a key innovation capabilityIf you'd like to explore more innovation stories, or access a wide range of resources to help work with innovation, then please visit my website here.You can find a rich variety of cases, tools, videos, activities and other resources - as well as my innovation blog.Or subscribe to my YouTube channel here

Pain in the eye? It is a red-flag all healthcare professionals are trained to be aware of. But when spotted, who deals with it? We are joined by Specialist Head and Neck Pharmacist Ann Marie Goacher. Ann Marie describes her journey from a local community pharmacist in Ireland to being the lead pharmacist for the head and neck directorate at University Hospitals Sussex. What does an ophthalmic and specialist uveitis pharmacist do?We talk to Ann Marie about her passion for eye care, and the importance of getting back to basics with the simple act of administration. Glaucoma can be better managed simply by ‘knowing your drops' yet it is a neglected area of care. We discuss how off-licence use of drugs for a common eye condition has saved the NHS millions and the controversies that surround this.For our micro-discussion we look at The burden of acute eye conditions on different healthcare providers: a retrospective population-based study, a paper that looks at the public awareness of community eyecare services in a world where the demand for acute eyecare exponentially outstrips capacity. https://bjgp.org/content/74/741/e264Further information on the ‘Know your Drops' campaign can be found on the website of Moorfields Eye Hospital https://www.moorfields.nhs.uk/for-patients/information-hub. Ann Marie was spotted as a guest for the podcast after having the misfortune to sit next to Jamie on a plane. The topic of the conversation was the book she was reading - which happened to be written by her Father. “Once there was a boy who survived” by Maurice Heffernan which tells the story his early days in an orphanage in Ireland to his tumultuous journey through foster care, institutionalisation, and forced labour https://www.amazon.co.uk/Once-There-was-Boy-Survived/dp/1915502667. The “statistics made simple and relevant” podcasts with James McCormack mentioned in the episode can be found here https://therapeuticseducation.org/podcast-episode-list/As with all of our guests, Ann Marie shares with us a Memory Evoking Medicine, a career anthem and book that has influenced her career or life.

CrowdScience listener Gregory wants to know what affects the way we see the colours of the world. He was looking at a blue summer sky with a friend and they got to wondering whether they both see the same colour blue. So what does influence our vision of the colours that surround us? Could eye colour have anything to do with it? And can we ever really know if your blue sky is the same as mine?Caroline Steel comes up with some answers, talking to colour scientists about their research into the multiple factors that enable us to see in multi colours, from the intricate biology of our eye to the changing environment around us.She also investigates her own colour vision and solves a personal mystery, discovering why the world has always looked a slightly different colour from each eye.Contributors: Professor Jay Neitz, Department of Opthalmology, University of Washington, US Professor Hannah Smithson, Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Oxford Dr Juan Perea García, researcher, Department of Cognitive Psychology, University of Leiden Dr Lauren Welbourne, researcher, Department of Psychology, University of York Dr Adam Bibbey, lecturer in sport, Department of Sport, Oxford Brookes University Presenter: Caroline Steel Producer: Jo Glanville Editor: Cathy Edwards Production co-ordinator: Connor Morgans Studio manager: Jackie Margerum(Photo: LWA)

He also shares some amazing insights about leadership, managing a multidisciplinary team and handling conflicts within their organization.QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE“Having that clear vision is very important because it helps determine who’s going to be on [your] bus. Because if they don’t line up about what it is that we are doing, if they don’t get it, then they’re not generally interested.”“When it comes to employing GPs, it’s about having something unique that they’re after that they can’t get anywhere else, and having something that’s bigger than them that they want to be a part of.”“One of the things that’s really important for people to understand is that in an integrated setting, you need to have a leader. You need to have someone who is able to coordinate or lead each area, and that’s important.”“If you don’t have a good leader leading the GP area, or the osteo area, or the physio area, then what tends to happen is you’ve just got paperwork in there but they’re not actually progressing and bringing it all together in the business.”MENTIONSGrow My Clinic online courseAtuneSimon Ashley (LinkedIn)SHOW NOTES[0:00:50.3] How Simon got into osteopathy[0:02:08.6] What makes osteos unique?[0:03:43.7] What inspired Simon to start his own clinic and Simon’s near death experience[0:05:21.1] Simon’s journey from being a clinician to becoming the founder of Atune[0:07:07.9] Two biggest lessons Simon learned from being the leader of a high calibre business[0:08:39.8] How does Simon communicate his values to his team?[0:09:42.4] Professions at Atune that are a bit out of the ordinary[0:11:29.5] Challenges when recruiting and integrating GPs into the business’ work model[0:13:23.1] Framework of employment and contracting[0:15:31.1] Doing evidence-based work[0:17:39.8] Managing conflicts and Atune’s concept of a ‘healthy conflict’[0:20:05.5] How Simon manages his many roles in business and in life[0:22:05.7] Simon’s advice to people who are looking to start their own integrated health centers[0:23:30.1] Check out Atune!If you like this episode of the Grow My Clinic podcast, please don't forget to like, share, comment, and give us your ratings on iTunes and Stitcher.
