Topic: Integrated Care Systems and Population Health Management
Tuesday 15th February 2022
About the seminar:
Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) are partnerships between the organisations that meet the health and care needs across an area, building on the earlier work through sustainability and transformation partnerships. They have four main objectives: improving population health and healthcare, tackling unequal outcomes and access, enhancing productivity and value for money, and helping the NHS to support broader social and economic development. Population health management (PHM) is seen as a key approach to support ICSs to achieve their objectives, building on the work done across organisations to improve population health and healthcare with the use of linked data. It has been recently highlighted in the NHS 2022/23 priorities and operational planning guidance as an approach to continue developing through working alongside local authorities and other partners. This session will provide an overview of what PHM is, the data and analytical approaches involved, how the insight is used and future implications.

Topic: Using Insight and Intelligence for Agile Public Health Response in Local Government
About the seminar:
In England, responsibility for local public health actions has sat within local government since 2013. Duties of public health teams include protection of the public from harm, the promotion of healthy lifestyles, and ensuring all have access to appropriate healthcare when needing it. This work requires access to big data and high-level analytical expertise but also an ability to translate complex analyses into simple messages that can be used to better understand the needs of our populations and how best to deliver services. This presentation will cover the datasets and approaches we take, with a particular focus on areas for collaboration with universities.
Speakers:
Chrissy Wilson-Lefevre works as an Advanced Public Health Analyst within the Insight & Analytics team at Norfolk County Council.
Andy Jones has recently joined the public health team at Norfolk County Council, having been an academic in the field of public health for many years.
