I am delighted to announce that Susannah Howard will be presenting two insightful sessions at the Imperial College "Leading Systemic Innovation in Healthcare" executive education programme, offering invaluable perspectives and strategies for advancing healthcare. Susannah Howard is the Integrated Care Partnership Director of the Integrated Care System at Suffolk and North East Essex (#SNEE). She has pioneered initiatives that enhance collaboration across health, care and local #council services, focusing on creating cohesive, patient-centred care models. She brings practical insights from how SNEE has gone on the journey from transcending silos to systems of care and become the top performing ICS in the country. Session 1: This session will explore the development of Integrated Care Systems (ICS) in England. Susannah will highlight the systemic thinking that has led to the success of Suffolk and North East Essex #ICS. The key themes in this first session include: - Importance of #health and #care systems as #ecosystems. - Relationship-based vs. mechanistic thinking in healthcare. - Outcome-based approaches and future challenges. - Differences between outcomes, benefits, and outputs. - Importance of people and technology in change implementation. Session 2: Susannah will discuss the critical aspects of relationships, behaviours, and culture in creating successful integrated healthcare systems, while simultaneously addressing systemic #inequality and #injustice. Key themes in this session include: - Definitions of collaboration. - Relationship importance in system working. - Addressing systemic inequality and injustice. - Psychological concepts in #partnerships. - Leadership competencies for future healthcare leaders. - Strategies to shift from blame to accountability. Susannah Howard’s sessions on developing integrated care ecosystems and understanding behaviours and relationships in healthcare are essential for anyone looking to stay at the forefront of healthcare transformation. Her comprehensive approach will provide participants with a deep understanding of how to build effective integrated care models and embrace innovative leadership and cultural practices to improve #healthcare delivery.

I recently watched an interesting TED Talk on leadership in healthcare led by Susan Carter who is an Administrative Director at Osher Center for Integrative Medicine at Vanderbilt. It is titled What’s Love Got to Do With It? Leadership in New Era of Healthcare. What stood out to me when listening to Susan Carter. was that healthcare workers want to be value and know that what they are doing has purpose. Typically, healthcare workers enter the field because they have the desire to want to help people. In healthcare currently, the focus is on metrics and the bottom line. The team doing a majority of the operational work with the patients aren’t always included in decisions for the healthcare facility. This TED Talk really showed how when a leader values their employees and partners with the employee to implement change leads to better outcomes for the organization. By showing the staff that leadership cares the path to change becomes easier because of a shared vision and wanting to accomplish the new policy or change in practice when staff is involved in the decision process. This reminds me of the transformational style of leadership. These leaders “give individuals and groups opportunities to shape and contribute to a shared and inspiring vision” ( Murtagh 2023).  It is where a leader seeks input from their teams to help advance each other to a higher level of accomplishment together. Having heart as Susan Carter refers to  is something that I hope to incorporate into my own leadership toolbox. Having empathy for the people that  you work with and have the ability to reflect on how policies or projects may affect their psychological safety is a skill of a great leader. The ability to work with your team to stimulate them intellectually and to challenged the status quo for effective change in public health is very important.   This is especially important, since public health is always challenging the status quo to keep communities healthy.

Many thanks to Molly Jensen, the Emeritus team and the Emory University - Goizueta Business School Executive Education's Chief Medical Officer Program for having me. It was a pleasure speaking to this group of rising leaders in healthcare and having an open conversation on what it means to achieve your pinnacle role.   Taking the next big step in any career involves openly communicating and collaborating with your team, having strong mentors and mapping intentional experiences that will lead you toward your pinnacle role. As I shared during my talk, I’ve found there are three critical steps for any professional looking to advance their career:   ➡️ Continue to be curious and invest in education and leadership development. New technologies are rapidly developing, and it’s important to enhance these skill sets.   ➡️ Give back by developing others. Never underestimate how mentoring people can be a catalyst for continuous learning and career growth.   ➡️ Define your legacy and map your career path with a focus on your pinnacle role.   Every experience provides a new opportunity to learn and grow. There will be detours along the way, but it’s important to trust the journey. I’ve been fortunate to have several diverse experiences and inspiring mentors that led me to where I am within the Office of the Chief Medical Officer at Johnson & Johnson.   I look forward to following what’s next for this group of emerging CMOs as we collectively work to help advance patient safety.   #CareerDevelopment #Mentorship #mycompany 

This will be another great session tying together key elements, like good data, partnerships and AI, in the transition to VBC.

Weekly update time again for the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board EHR Programme It's been an incredibly busy but rewarding week! We’re gearing up to expand our programme workstreams, and I had the pleasure of running another face-to-face session of the EHR Club in Ludlow (fabulous farm shop lunch, of course!). During the session, I introduced Martin Evans to the team—exciting conversations followed on collaboration principles and what the market can offer, including a look at geographical and sector-specific thinking. Lots of healthy discussion with our strategic partner, Digital Health and Care Wales a fun scope exercise helped illustrate where different health boards stand and their direction of travel. One thing is clear—clinical input is essential moving forward. Meanwhile, we’ve also been preparing for our first meeting with Welsh Government after formally submitting the EHR Strategic Outline Case and Business Justification Case. We’re requesting vital funding from WG to ensure Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board can move to the next phase of preparing the Outline Business Case and readying the health board for significant transformation. Finally, we're getting ready for our next EHR Programme Board, with papers due again next week (yes, already!). It’s a hectic time, but I’m still feeling energised and passionate—and that’s all thanks to the amazing people I’m working with!
