Great to attend the @tvalleychamber Reading Business Networking & Meet the Chamber event yesterday. Interesting discussions with businesses across the #thamesvalley. People are really keen to understand the need to build a #newhospital & how the market can support. #rdguk

Great to be attending @IHEEM conference in Manchester and a fantastic session highlighting examples of collaboration with local authorities- sleaford street and Dartmouth health centre. There are lots of opportunities & willing partners of our own locally so looking forward to working with #rdg #wokingham #westberkshire councils together with other health partners to improve access to more local health & wellbeing facilities in line with our Clinical Services Strategy.

Today we attended the @macmillancancer coffee morning @ReadingGurdwara - such a lovely community event for a brilliant cause @RBNHSFT #rdguk #community

Great to hear from @CliveJonesMP at the @TValleyChamber Windsor Debates today talking about the huge experience in business he brings to the table and his plea to work more in partnership to accelerate growth in the Thames Valley area. As Lib Dem spokesman on trade he was keen to stimulate discussion on building right skills we need from pre-school right through life. Fantastic to have such resource & passion on areas that will impact on prevention health and well-being as one of our @RBNHSFT governors for the next 3 years.

Our CEO @CEO_RBFT was on the final panel today @TheKingsFund which focussed on what needs to be done in next 5-10 years to move care closer to home. The @RBNHSFT puts this at heart of our clinical services strategy and is actively driving a number of initiatives to make this a reality locally. Some examples of things we are doing - 90% of ambulatory /diagnostics within 5 miles of hospital with services delivered across 7 sites - Strong neighbourhood working through Meet PEET patient engagement and experience team - Strong vaccination services to support prevention Underpinning this is partnership. Steve also talked about having shared understanding on definition of care closer to home across the system but also what it means for patients and discussed the role of the acute trust in prevention. For 185 years the trust has provided care for local community & as anchor institution we have responsibility for health & wellbeing of local population. Population health management has also demonstrated time & again to impact on prevention & early targeted intervention but requires being built from bottom up & at every level, which takes time and means sharing risk. Secondary care needs to engage with ‘neighbourhoods’ - what’s around people in localities is what will make difference to their health & wellbeing. #KFCareCloserToHome

Dr Yasmin Razak, GP Partner & GP Trainer @GolborneMedical talking about pioneering work transforming healthcare by taking screening to people in the #community & designing community health care at scale by ‘working with people’ rather than ‘doing to people’ @TheKingsFund

Huge thanks to @Roche for sponsoring our Associate Medical Director & Head of Service Planning to attend @TheKingsFund Moving Care Closer to Home conference. Great to hear about the importance of system-wide partnership working to enable pathway transformation @RBNHSFT
