Could Microsoft 365 be the key to NHS efficiency? It's two years since NHS England signed a five-year deal to provide Microsoft 365 and Teams to 1.5 million doctors, nursers, clinicians and support staff across the country. There is evidence to suggest Microsoft 365 and Teams have already delivered efficiencies - but we believe they can do more. We've spoken to digital leaders across the country and there are three things they'd all like to do with Microsoft 365: 1️⃣ Get the foundations right for optimising Microsoft 365 so that everyone has the right tools and a shared level of competency and confidence to use systems. 2️⃣ Properly leverage the basics so efficiencies can be achieved on day-to-day tasks. 3️⃣ Identify duplicate functionality across other systems and use Microsoft 365 capabilities to reduce spend on additional licences and streamline processes. We’ve been developing services through which the actions above can be baselined to allow providers or Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) to make productivity and efficiency gains.

Next week's Autumn Budget Statement is expected to focus heavily on the NHS. It follows a rapid investigation by Lord Darzi in September that concluded the NHS "is in serious trouble" and that under investment in digital technologies over the past 15 years has left the NHS "in the foothills of digital transformation". We all know that more money into the health service isn't necessarily the answer. So what is? We asked three digital healthcare leaders to give us their thoughts on what is needed from the Autumn Budget Statement to move the digital healthcare agenda forward.

Ethical Healthcare is proud to be working with NHS Transformation Directorate and KLAS Research on this year's national electronic patient record (EPR) usability survey. ✅ The survey will help us measure how easy current EPR systems are to use and how well they support practitioners in their work. 📢 We want to hear from medical and dental staff, nurses, health visitors and midwives, healthcare assistants and other support staff, scientific, therapeutic and technical professionals, and clinical admin staff. The survey is completely confidential and will give us important feedback we can use to shape the way EPR systems are developed in the future. ⏱️ The survey is open to all those who use an EPR system regularly in their jobs and takes around 8 minutes to complete. Please make sure your voice is heard. Take the survey now at https://buff.ly/3ZOlq8T and help us create a better EPR experience for everyone. The survey is open until 20 December 2024. There’s also plenty of practical support to help you promote the survey to your frontline staff. Download your intro pack and comms resources at: https://buff.ly/3YhJBLX
