3. 1. Introduction
2. A burning platform for change
3. The pressing need for innovation
4. Positioning librarians as catalysts for change
5. Bringing knowledge to bear
6. The library as a platform for change

PHE
The new
NHS
infrastructure NICE
8. Fire fighting
The practice of dealing
with problems
as they arise
rather than
planning strategically
to avoid them
9. Omphaloskepsis
The contemplation of
one's navel
which is an idiom
usually meaning
complacent
self-absorption
10. A burning platform for change
• Harsh financial climate
• Ageing population
• £20 billion of efficiency
savings required within
NHS by 2015
11. National priorities
•Stemming the increase in emergency
admissions
• Service reconfiguration; making the shift from
hospital to community care; seamless care
• Addressing inappropriate variations in clinical
practice; clinical safety and quality
12. A pressing need for innovation
“We need to radically
transform the way we
deliver services.
Innovation is the only
way we can meet these
challenges”
“Put simply, we must make innovation a priority.
We know that the NHS can spread new ideas at
pace and scale when it puts its mind to it, and we
need to do more of this.”
13. Copying is good
“ Innovation ... needs to be replicable – and
replicated – across similar settings. So
innovation is as much about applying an
idea, service or product in a new context, or in
a new organisation, as it is about creating
something entirely new. Copying is good.”
14. Positioning librarians in the workplace
as catalysts for improvement
• Aligning with NHS priorities
• Multidisciplinary working
• Changing skill mix
• Role substitution
• Role enlargement
• Role enhancement
15. Enhancing the role of librarians
Role enhancement involves expanding a group
of workers' skills so they can assume a wider
and higher range of responsibilities through
innovative and non-traditional roles
17. A practical approach to ‘KM’
• Applying knowledge
• Building know-how
• Continuing to learn
18. A = Applying knowledge
around the commissioning cycle
19. Milton Keynes CCG...
• CCG is responsible for £268 million
• CCG must be innovative and effective if we are
to produce better services whilst reducing the
increasing cost of healthcare

• Effective meetings practice
• Learning sets to support
model of improvement
• Metrics; outcome measures
• Mosaic
• Lessons learned events
29. Understanding the environment
• The context in which health & medical
information is needed, managers reach
decisions about models of care, patients are
asked to enter into shared decision-making
• Changing healthcare environment:
policy, economic, legal issues, education &
training patterns, workforce
• Changing information environment:
virtual learning environments, social
networking, the creative cloud, open access
access scientific publishing
30. Preparing for today and tomorrow
• Health sciences librarians must prepare to
meet the needs of today's and tomorrow's
health sciences environment
• Multi-disciplinary, life-long learning - to serve
the needs of health providers and consumers

Our theme this year is Health Education in Transition at a time when both medical/health education, and the NHS, and indeed the wider landscape of health and social care in the UK, is in a state of change.
Concept of Evolution - Develop gradually, esp. from a simple to a more complex formDevelop over successive generations, esp. as a result of natural selection.
Already a much changed environment since I headed into academic libraries as a young graduateStarted out here in the Current Periodicals Room at Birmingham UniversityAnd then after completing “Library school” went onto my first professional post at Newcastle Poly; where I worked on a User Education project funded by the BL, known as The Travelling Workshops Experiment
Dir Corporate affairs and partnershipsMK: a young, AND an ageing AND a growing population
Effectively flat real terms funding for the next four years; against backdrop of wider economic recessionThe rich world is ageing; more people living longer - at 2030 22% of the people on the planet 65+; Elderly people who are chronically unwell rather than seriously ill can be maintained with nursing rather than medical care in their own homes. Never let a good crisis go to wasteTake the opportunity to do things you think you could not do beforeThe Burning Platform – explosion the Piper Alpha oil-drilling platform in the North Sea in 1988One of the survivors,a superintendent on the rig, jumped 15 stories from the platform to the water – where he knew he could only survive for 20 mins. Why? “It was either jump or fry.” He chose possible death over certain death; the price of staying on the platform was too high.
Demand continues to rise, especially for unplanned and emergency care; rise in levels of chronic conditions and obesityWith 4 hospitals within 30 mins driving distance, - we might expect to see some reconfiguration of health services to offer patients the very best specialist care where availableBetter drugs and improved surgical techniques, along with the advent of day surgery, have meant good after-care, rather than medical intervention, is what increasingly determines a full recoveryA whole year's care by a GP costs about one tenth of a day in hospital. Dealing with the duplication and fragmentation that occurs in care that crosses provider and budgetary boundariesUsing data to illuminate unexplained / inappropriate variation to drive up quality.
The status quo is not an optionInnovation not necessarily invention

Healthcare is a knowledge based industry;Harsh financial climate
Where can knowledge have the most impact?How can we improve business performance by building know-how?How can we share and spread good practice & embed lessons learned?What do we need in the way of information products and services?
Developing as a high performing organisationand alongside enabling our day to day business, my role is fundamentally about transformation and supporting system reformInnovation, Knowledge Management, Quality ImprovementBuilding organisational delivery capability; staff and leadership developmentForming successful partnerships, member practice engagement,public & patient involvement Infrastructure planning, management and development – commissioning support arrangements; PH MoU; IT system integration; using estates V small directorate; maybe 40-45% of our management costs fund an SLA with GEM as our commissioning support organisation; hold the ring on the service specifications and contract managementMatrix organisation – currently also Exec lead for Commissioning urgent care
BETTER METRICS - Enable systematic challenge of variation –more proactive analytical service (more strategic use of data); Clinical analytics – inc risk stratification
And where can Where can knowledge have the most impact?

One of the core areas of knowledge described in the Platform is the health sciences environmentNew kinds of doctor, new kinds of health professionals To help equip new professionals to step onto the burning platform- Do you forsee a shift of budget from libraries to fund free to net publication by researchers?
