La Mon HotelBelfast
New technologies and innovative practices are entering healthcare at lightning speeds. The speed at which they are being adopted and utilised, however, appears to be rather more slow moving. The inaugural Northern Ireland Integrated Healthcare Conference will examine the reasons for this and will show how you, as a healthcare professional, can harness
new, innovative practices to deliver faster, more efficient patient care....
WHAT?
2015 Inaugural Northern Ireland Integrated Healthcare Conference 9th September, La Mon Hotel, Belfast
Conference Agenda
• 1.50-2.00pm Introduction & Welcome
• 2.00-2.15pm Health Minister
Dr George O’Neill from Springfield Road Surgery in Belfast has been at the forefront of significant medical initiatives in Northern Ireland for more than 40 years.
George was a lead GP in the first wave of the Fundholding Scheme, and the West Belfast Total Purchasing Pilot owed much of its success to his efforts while, as Chairman of the Belfast Local Commissioning group from 2008-2013, he successfully steered the complex 17-member board and management team to achieve many positive strategic outcomes and comprehensive commissioning plans. Given his unique raft of experience and expertise, combined with his skills as an effective communicator, it’s not surprising that George has become a familiar figure on the local media scene, offering articulate insights into the medical issues of the day. His expert opinions – especially on health service reform and on all aspects of primary care – are frequently sought by senior management, at Permanent Secretary and even at ministerial level, and he has a reputation for offering succinct, insightful and pragmatic opinions.
DR GEORGE O’NEILL CHAIR
Simon Hamilton, MLA was recently appointed as Northern Ireland’s Health Minister, replacing former minister Jim Wells MLA. Prior to his formal appointment, Simon had actually spent the previous few weeks as ‘caretaker’ for the department of health following Mr Wells’ resignation.
For the past two years, Simon had been NI’s Finance Minister and had a wide range of responsibilities including setting the budget and managing public finances, civil law reform, official statistics and the rating system. One of Simon’s first acts in office was to establish a Public Sector Reform Division within DFP to assist in realising his vision of transforming Northern Ireland’s public sector into one of the most innovative in the world.George also continues to work as an active GP in a partnership, which has benefited from his drive in fashioning an enviable reputation as a centre of best practice, innovation and excellence.

SEPTEMBER 9 2015 WILL BE A DAY OF ‘LIGHTBULB MOMENTS’, WHEN DYNAMIC AND RADICAL NEW WAYS OF WORKING WILL BE ON DISPLAY.
Are you a Healthcare Professional who’s already had your own ‘Lightbulb Moment’?
Have you, in the course of your daily work as a GP, Consultant, Pharmacist or nurse, suddenly thought of a better way to work? Or designed a product that would have a major impact on improving patient outcomes or would save money for the NHS?
Have you felt frustrated at not being able to share it with anyone who could make your dream come true?
Well, thanks to the NIIHC, you could see your great idea become a reality!
The Business Services Organisation (BSO) provides an essential supporting role within the health and social care sector in Northern Ireland and, as such, involves the procurement and implementation of
replacement systems for finance, procurement and logistics.
With so much activity going on and multi business transactions taking place on a daily basis, you could be forgiven for thinking that the BSO would be too busy to look at YOUR company’s product, right?
WRONG! Not only is BSO always on the lookout for more cost-efficient, time-saving products, but its team will be holding five-minute surgeries at the Northern Ireland Integrated Healthcare Conference in
September to allow people like to introduce your innovative products or services!
Once you’ve registered for the conference, simply email us at [email protected] with a 50-word description of your product and its potential. Once we’ve received your email, you’ll be entered into the draw for one of the fifteen five-minute surgery slots.If you’re lucky enough to get one of the slots, we’ll contact you with further details.
INNOVATIVE. DYNAMIC. NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE... WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED? SO GO ON, SIGN UP TODAY AND BE PART OF THIS EXCITING VENTURE.

FIVE-MINUTE SURGERIES
NIHR / 2015 / 6
As technology progresses at a great rate of knots, the portfolio of diagnostic devices will enhance the diagnosis and management of various disease states and conditions.
Any future healthcare system will need to include consideration of where care is best provided, the facilities that are needed and how assets can be used most effectively.
From a distance...they’re watching you! Telemonitoring has been proven a great success all around the world and NI is already showing the benefits that it can bring to the health service.
Diagnostics
IT - Patient Management
IT - Monitoring
New research being undertaken by Ulster University could revolutionise the diagnosis of abnormal heart rhythms and cardiovascular disease globally. Professor Omar Escalona, expert in cardiovascular research at the university, and his team have secured £256,000 to develop
pioneering wristband sensor technology, which can identify symptoms at a much earlier stage. When worn regularly, the sensor will identify and record abnormal heart rhythm, immediately alerting the wearer and healthcare professionals to any changes suggestive of deteriorating
heart health. The wearable technology will be integrated with current electronic cardiology information systems to provide health professionals with remote access to patients’ up-to-date records.
In June 2013, a new clinic was opened at the Shankill Wellbeing and Treatment Centre in Belfast which provides a same-day diagnosis and treatment service without the patient having to go to hospital. As part of the transformation, community optometrists are also being helped to purchase state-
of- the-art equipment for their practices and are being offered the opportunity to work alongside the consultants in the one-stop clinic to develop their skills. ‘We have seen about 3000 patients to date at the clinic,’ says Alice Kennedy, Glaucoma Nurse Specialist at the Clinic. ‘We run a range of tests on the one
day, which are all then analysed and the results discussed with the patient. The one-stop clinic reduces the number of visits which patients make to various clinicians for a range of tests involved in their eye care and the long delays which can be experienced at various stages in their care.’
The renal telemonitoring service offered in the Northern Health and Social Care Trust is already helping to prevent hospital admissions and reduce the number of GP visits required by patients. Patients can now take their own blood pressure readings on a regular basis using the telemonitoring system, and these
readings are then automatically uploaded to the monitoring centre and viewed by the Renal Nurse Specialist. Patients are then also able to self-administer medication depending on the results.In the Southern Health and Social Care Trust, meanwhile, the Community Stroke Team in Newry and Mourne is delivering
treatment to clients for twelve weeks post discharge from hospital, following a diagnosis of stroke. The multi-disciplinary team wanted to look at new ways of working to maximise clinical time without reducing quality of service, and decided to try telerehabilitation.
This was developed by installing video conferencing equipment in the clinic at Daisy Hill Hospital, with smaller systems installed in patient’s own home. Needless to say, the initiative enables clients to have more frequent, shorter sessions and has increased Speech and Language Therapy capacity with the Trust, as well as greatly reducing travel time and costs.
During this session, you can attend up to three of six breakout groups which will demonstrate innovative products and services which are already approved and available to healthcare professionals today. Each session includes a Q & A led by the Chair of each group. Over the next two pages you can read about the breakout group categories and some examples of innovative practise in action today!

Through care planning, patients are increasingly being encouraged to remain in their own homes, while working in partnership with a healthcare professional.
Big data provides the profession with the potential to personalise healthcare for every NHS patient.
Co-ordination & Integration
IT - Apps
Big Data
Through care planning, patients are increasingly being encouraged to remain in their own homes, while working in partnership with a healthcare professional. Such co-ordination and integration of healthcare services will be increasingly important as a result of the ageing population.
The re-ablement service offered by Health and Social Care Trusts across Northern Ireland provides timely and focused intensive therapy and care in a person’s own home. When a referral is received by the Re-ablement Team, an Occupational Therapist will
visit the person in question to complete an initial assessment and then agree a person-centred independence plan with them. Trained support workers then visit and carry out the agreed independence plan in the person’s own home.
NIHR / 2015 / 7
Mobile phone apps already provide lifestyle and health advice, and it’s envisaged that thousands more will become available in the near future.
Pain is responsible for four out of seven GP visits. Now, a new Pain Clinic app that has been developed by an NI academic is being explored for use in research and audit. The app - which is available on app stores, but is for account holders only - works
as an ‘evidence-gathering tool’, configurable to many use cases, helping patients to communicate with clinicians. It takes only about 30 seconds to upload a set of ratings, typically pain, mood and sleep but can include others that are relevant to the patient at the time.
‘It’s anticipated,’ says creator Katrinia Delargy, ‘that clinical teams will be able to view data on a dashboard but don’t have to view the data in real time, so it can be used for both audit purposes and to track outcomes of treatments.’
Over the last few years, Health and Social Care (HSC) services have been implementing the Northern Ireland Electronic Care Record (NIECR) system to help improve patient care. The NECR system pulls together key details about a patient’s care from existing
HSC systems and makes them available to authorised staff in the care team. NIECR will sit on top of the current HSC information systems to give health and social care professionals a single window into the key information that a patient expects the different professionals involved in their care to have about them. It will contain information from existing electronic record systems from hospitals and clinics throughout Northern Ireland, including lab tests, x-rays, appointments and discharge letters.
Personalised medicine, precisely tailored to an individual’s requirements, is the future for medicines.Medicines
Researchers at Queen’s University Belfast – including recently launched a revolutionary personalised treatment programme to help improve bowel cancer survival rate.The S-CORT Consortium will employ the latest state-of-the-art techniques to define the genetic make-up of bowel cancer cells,
collected from over 2,000 patients from large clinical trials, and use the information to develop personalised care plans for individual bowel cancer patients. ‘This precision medicine approach, where we match the right patient to the right treatment, has the potential to revolutionise how we treat this deadly disease,’ said Professor Mark Lawler, Chair of Translational Cancer Genomics at Queen’s University Belfast’s Centre for Cancer Research and Cell Biology (CCRCB) and Queen’s lead on the programme. ‘It will also allow us to spare patients the often debilitating side effects of ineffective therapies, thus improving their quality of life.’

KIDS’ INNOVATION
WWW.PHARMACY-LIFE.CO.UK
Record-breaking science provides a ‘big bang’!It’s not just pharma companies and healthcare professionals who are introducing innovative ideas and products to the profession! The recent Sentinus Young Innovators Exhibition Conference at University of Ulster provided a forum for schoolchildren from across the island of Ireland to display their revolutionary plans for the future of healthcare!
The project by Jonathan Andrews, David Joyce and Cherie O’Keeffe from Sutton Park School, Co Dublin, set out to solve the problem that busy chefs might have when their hand has been burned, cooling
is required but they do not want to interrupt their cooking. Advice for treating a skin burn is to place the affected area in cold water such as a running cold tap, but this would mean the
chef interrupting their cooking. The Sutton Park team’s glove and
plaster design uses a simple endothermic chemical
reaction. When the two chemicals are mixed with water the reaction results in
cooling, allowing the area of burn to be cooled
for 20 minutes. The chemicals used were citric acid and sodium
Technological advances in blood pressure measurement and data transmission may improve the capture of information and telemonitoring systems can be used to manage patients
with hypertension, and have the ability to enable best-practice decisions more consistently. The improvement in choice for patients as to where and who manages their hypertension, as well as better adherence to treatment, are potential benefits. Mindful of the time constraints on GPs and consultants, Sean Martin and
Stephen Emerson from St Killian’s College, Carnlough came up with a fantastic monitoring device which could be used by a GP to take
Through personal experience, Susanna Crabbe, Rachel Brown and Ellen McAuley from Ballymena Academy knew that it was difficult for children with eczema to sleep as a result of the constant need to want to scratch the inflamed area and also due to the heat aggravating the eczema. They discovered through research that there weren’t many products available to aid eczema
sufferers and so began to research materials that would aid eczema sufferers – particularly children – at night. The girls designed an ‘eczema suit’ which was based on the same principles as moisture socks. The suit is able to hold lotions to keep the skin hydrated and moisturised during the night and also has breathable areas to keep the child cool. The suit uses the clever invention of

skin. After considering various materials, the girls opted for silk since it uses a specially-designed knitted construction with plenty of ventilation capacity. A person can also breathe through 48 layers of silk, which is very important for eczema patients who need to maintain a stable temperature and moisture levels close to their skin. The eczema suit will not only provide sufferers with a better night’s sleep but will also keep the child’s skin well hydrated during the night.

NORTHERN IRELANDINTEGRATEDHEALTHCARE CONFERENCE
HCPs, your practice experience and your patients’ treatment experience can be significantly improved by utilising the latest approved products, whether this is medicines, devices, diagnostics, IT hardware or software. Few HCPs have the time to evaluate the myriad of these innovations individually. This conference/ exhibition brings together many of these new products and services in one place maximising the HCPs use of time.
The conference will facilitate the experience of users within breakout ‘surgeries’ inviting Q&A from attendees. The conference will also provide insights into ‘near to approval’ innovations and pipeline technologies that will influence and guide who, what and how patients will be treated in future.
