In readiness for the introduction of the NHSE/I guidance for ICS Intelligence Functions and supporting toolkit, the Strategy Unit are hosting a series of webinars to help analytical leads and other stakeholders develop their ICS Intelligence Functions.
Case studies from the toolkit developed for NHSE/I by the Strategy Unit, with advisory input from Nuffield Trust, will be shared as part of the webinars. Through these case studies, attendees will learn from systems and networks who have already made progress in enhancing their system-level intelligence. They will also be supported to understand the varied approaches they can take in delivering their own and the various support available to them in doing so. These webinars are practical, open sessions with those who have already made a start; talking about the opportunities and challenges of building cross-system intelligence. Attendees will have the opportunity to share and discuss best practice, build networks and ask questions. The webinars hosted by the Strategy Unit will be held virtually. If you have any queries regarding the webinars, please contact Karen Bradley or Romaana Kapadi.
Places are free but you will need to book onto each of the four sessions here:
1. Developing your ICS Intelligence Functions: Learning from South West London Health and Care Partnership (03/05/2022, 11am-12pm)
About this webinar: “During the COVID-19 pandemic, SWL developed a COVID Dashboard to support Population Health Management in the system. Exploiting the full potential of this dashboard has required developing the analytical capability of their staff and supporting data ‘users’ to make the most of the linked datasets it contains. This webinar will focus on how they have done this, providing vital ‘real-world’ experience of creating and using a PHM platform.”
