👀 Anything catch your eye strolling around the capital last night? We took to the streets of London for our #waitlistwatch, showcasing the scale of the #DNA problem in the NHS. While these are just numbers and statistics, we can't simply etch a strike beside the name of each patient who fails to attend their appointment. Understanding why patients DNA is far more complex - but importantly, *very* human. And while there's no short answer, there is a way to finding one: listening to the patient. It's time we use new technology to better communicate, engage and proactively intervene with the people behind appointments to prevent them from happening in the first place. Solving non-attendance is the first step to easing the burden on our health system - and the tools that we need to do so, are already at our disposal 💚 #DrDoctor #NHS #WaitlistWatch

DNAs (Did Not Attend) are costing the NHS an estimated £1.6 billion a year, further compounding the issue of the elective backlog. Understanding why people fail to attend their appointments is often quite complex - but what if we could better understand the reasons why people DNA, and both identify and proactively intervene to prevent them happening? 💡 On October 23rd, we'll show you how. Join us for a special product event, where we'll unpack the DNA problem in the #NHS and show how new, exciting technology is the missing piece to solving the puzzle 💚

🔥 Hot off the press this morning... Forbes highlighted findings from our DNA Complexities Report, exploring why patients miss their appointments in the #NHS. 🗣️ "Almost everyone surveyed (93%) said they wanted to attend their appointment. But half of respondents said transport was an issue. Some patients were referred to hospitals very far away from home, while others couldn’t afford public transport fares." Join us from 12pm today, where we'll unpack the DNA problem and show how new, exciting technology is changing how we approach and proactively manage DNAs 💚 Link in the comments 👇

Just ONE day to go... 🚀 Determining why people miss their appointments is far from straightforward. The interplay of personal, social, and systemic factors underpins the need for a more nuanced, data-led approach to understanding and resolving the #DNA problem. Tomorrow, we're launching our new product suite that changes the way we approach and proactively manage DNAs - before they even happen. Stay tuned for more insights into the DNA problem across the UK coming tomorrow 💚 And it's not too late to get involved... ✨ Register your interest below! 👇 #WorkSmarterNotHarder

💬 "It's easy to view DNAs as mere numbers and statistics. The reality is far more complex and very human. Behind every DNA is a person - each with a unique set of circumstances, challenges and justifiable reasons around why they fail to make their appointment. Patients are lost in the system - what if we could find them?" Read the full blog below 👇

Last year, there were over 7 million DNAs in the #NHS. We've all been there – life can get pretty busy at times. But why do patients miss their appointments? 🤔 If you recently failed to attend an appointment, we'd love to know why. If for other reasons, put it in the comments below 👇

Is AI really a part of Future Healthcare? 🤔 This interactive session highlighted the question of what impact will artificial intelligence have on the NHS and will it reduce the need for human expertise. Our premium gold sponsor presentation from DrDoctor explored the role of artificial intelligence in healthcare, the opportunities for the NHS to boost efficiency and productivity and how it can improve human expertise rather than replacing it ☄️   Do you have an innovative solution but can’t get in front of the right people?
