Digitell

The Leadership Log

A podcast to help people navigate the digital healthcare world. This is for you if you work in healthcare, if you're a patient accessing healthcare, or if you're someone interested in healthcare systems, and you want to know a bit more about what is happening digitally and how it will impact us all. It's called Digitell, because we hope the episodes will be a bit like listening to a story being told. We need leaders to understand the impact of digital on healthcare, and to have the skills they need to champion, or challenge, the change. read less

What clinical leaders need to know about digital
Hello and welcome to another episode of Digitell, a Leadership Log mini-series where we chat about navigating the digital healthcare world. We’d like to thank CHIME, the college of healthcare information management executives, for sponsoring this mini-series. Today I’m going to be chatting to Jo Dickson. Jo is the Chief Nurse at NHS Digital, and is just leaving that role to begin a new one as Chief Nurse at Ramsay Health. She has worked in chief nursing information officer roles for around ten years, and says of herself that she was one of the first CNIOs in the country. Her pioneering work has contributed to the landscape we’re in now, in which nurses are becoming more and more a central part of digital transformation and innovation in healthcare. Today, we’re going to talk about what chief nurses and other clinical leaders not working directly in the digital space need to know about digital.

Hello and welcome to another episode of Digitell, a Leadership Log mini-series where we chat about navigating the digital healthcare world. We’d like to thank CHIME, the college of healthcare information management executives, for sponsoring this mini-series. Today I’m going to be chatting to Gary McAllister. Gary literally wrote the book about digital healthcare in the NHS, so I’m incredibly lucky to have him with me to discuss the complexity we face in digital transformation. He has worked in the NHS for 20 years, most recently in Chief Technology Officer roles. He is currently working as CTO at OneLondon, the shared care record in our capital, so he is no stranger to complexity himself!

Educating the Digital Workforce
Hello and welcome to another episode of Digitell, a Leadership Log mini-series where we chat about navigating the digital healthcare world. We’d like to thank CHIME, the college of healthcare information management executives, for sponsoring this mini-series. Today’s guest is Jane Dwelly, the global non-profit’s vice president . It was Jane who approached the Leadership Log with the idea of creating a mini-series about digital health: no surprises there as CHIME has spent the last thirty years supporting health and care leaders working in digital health.  Jane saw an opportunity for the Leadership Log team to focus on digital health leaders through a spin-off podcast. Jane sponsored us to create this, so really Digitell is all thanks to her and we’re so grateful to her! Jane has worked in health policy for many years, holding policy roles in the department of health and NHS England before she moved to CHIME. She now provides digital health leadership training for nurses and midwives on the Florence Nightingale Foundation Digital scholarship, as well as consultancy and support to the NHS and other organisations on their digital health strategies. Today, we’re going to be talking about educating the digital health workforce.

What is Digital Clinical Safety?
Hello and welcome to another episode of Digitell, a Leadership Log mini-series where we chat about navigating the digital healthcare world. We’d like to thank CHIME, the college of healthcare information management executives, for sponsoring this mini-series. One of the fundamental elements of healthcare delivery is patient safety – all clinicians working in the NHS have safety at the centre of their work. But now that so many services are working in a much more digital way, how can we make sure that safety stays central? A whole new raft of risks have arrived with digital, along with a whole new set of ways to improve patient safety. This has meant a whole new category of clinical specialism – the clinical safety officer. Today, I have two clinical safety officers with me to talk us through digital clinical safety – Sarah Harper and Linda Skinner. Sarah Harper is the Clinical Digital Transformation Lead at North East London Foundation Trust. Linda Skinner is the Digital Clinical Safety Lead at Sussex Community Foundation Trust.

A patient's view on virtual consultations
Hello and welcome to another episode of Digitell, a Leadership Log mini-series where we chat about navigating the digital healthcare world. We’d like to thank CHIME, the college of healthcare information management executives, for sponsoring this mini-series. Today we’re going to be changing our perspective a bit. In the health service, we are all working with a common goal, to care for patients, but often their voices are lost as we all try to work out the right way to go about this. Over the last few years, there have been huge changes in the way services are delivered, with digital health becoming the norm in many cases. Today I am going to be talking to Nathan Freeman, who has experienced a variety of different health consultation formats from face to face to video consultation, to hear what his experience of this has been. I hope that the move towards a more digital way of working increases accessibility, but to achieve this it is crucial we keep listening to our patients. I hope that this will be the first of many opportunities I have to interview patients about their experiences of digital health!  Follow Nathan on Twitter: :WCANathan Follow us on Twitter: @Leadership_Log for all the latest news and updates from our podcast.

I’m going to be talking to Misbah Mahmood, Digital Midwife at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.

Becoming a digital nurse
Hello and welcome to another episode of Digitell, a Leadership Log mini-series where we chat about navigating the digital healthcare world. We’d like to thank CHIME, the college of healthcare information management executives, for sponsoring this mini-series. In our first episode, we heard from Natasha Phillips that clinicians are vital to ensure digital solutions are implemented safely and effectively, and she talked a bit about what she and her team are doing to ensure that we have the workforce available with the right skills to deliver on this.  Today we’re going to be talking to two nurses who are quite new to the digital space about their roles, their hopes for the future, and why they think it is important to have nurses working in digital health. I’m particularly excited about this discussion because I’m also quite new to digital nursing – I started two and a half years ago and still feel like I have lots to learn! Joining me today are Beth Allen and Emily Dean. Beth Allen is a digital nurse implementer at the Christie NHS Foundation Trust. She has worked there since she qualified in 2018, in various roles, and commenced her digital role this year. Emily Dean is a digital nurse specialist at Sussex Community Foundation Trust. She qualified as a nurse in 2012 and has worked as a community nurse and a tissue viability nurse before moving into her digital role in 2021.

What digital health can learn from other industries
Hello and welcome to another episode of Digitell, a Leadership Log mini-series where we chat about navigating the digital healthcare world. We’d like to thank CHIME, the college of healthcare information management executives, for sponsoring this mini-series. Today we’re going to be talking about what digital healthcare can learn from other industries. Healthcare has for a long time been falling behind the private sector when it comes to harnessing the power of digital. There was a massive change of pace during the pandemic, and we all saw that healthcare was capable of rapid change and uptake of digital technology. Today we’ll be discussing how much further we have to go, and whether there is more to be learned from other industries. Diarmaid Crean is the Chief Digital and Technology Officer at Sussex Community Foundation Trust where he has worked for the last 3 years. Before he joined SCFT, he had many varied digital leadership roles in fields such as finance, travel and government. He has 24 years experience delivering change across both public and private sectors. He is a passionate practitioner of Service Design and Agile ways of working. His bio tells me that he is always happiest when obsessed with a new opportunity to advance another organisation using the power of digital, technology and data.  Diarmaid has recently won the Digital Health CIO of the Year award.

What the clinical workforce bring to digital health
Hello and welcome to our first episode of Digitell, a Leadership Log mini-series where we chat about navigating the digital healthcare world. We’d like to thank CHIME, the college of healthcare information management executives, for sponsoring this mini-series. Today we’re going to be talking about what the clinical workforce can bring to digital health. Through the pandemic, there were big changes in the way we deliver healthcare. To be able to keep seeing our patients, clinicians had to think creatively and use digital tools we had never considered before. We adapted, and we made it work, but as we move forwards and find our new normal, what do clinicians need to do to influence what this will look like? In this episode we'll be chatting to Dr Natasha Phillips. She holds the exciting role of national chief nursing information officer for England, and has held this role since May 2020. She is also the director of digital clinical safety. She is passionate about developing nurses to lead in complex systems, and she is an alumnus of the Florence Nightingale Foundation. Her  background in digital health, coupled with her focus on safety and her passion for leadership, put her in a great position to talk to us about the role clinicians have to play in this new world of digital healthcare.  To find out more about the Phillips Ives review: About The Phillips Ives Review | Digital Transformation (hee.nhs.uk) Follow Natasha on Twitter: @NHSCNIO Follow us on Twitter: @Leadership_Log for all the latest news and updates from our podcast.
