Healthy workforce, healthy patient
A well-managed and healthy workforce is crucial to the well being of the organisation. Key to the well being of workers is the occupational health service with involvement in assessing and managing risk, reducing levels of sickness absence and long-term absence in managing rehabilitation and the retention of staff who might otherwise be lost. The presentation will discuss how a good occupational health service, coupled with good human resources management and health & safety, has a measurable effect on improving patient morbidity rates.

Julian Topping, Head of Workplace Health, NHS Employers

Personal Health Budgets

Following the commitment in High Quality Care for All, a pilot programme is underway that builds on experience with individual budgets in social care to test personal health budgets as a way of giving people greater control over the NHS services they use. The move towards more personalised, responsive services has the potential to radically improve patient experience but is associated with considerable challenges to the service and to staff. This presentation will set out progress to date and examine some of the key themes arising.
