ILLY Commissioners Forum 2022 – “Innovations within Integrated Care”

“The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members”.

Mahatma Gandhi

At ILLY we have been working in close partnership with all our customers to make a real difference within our communities. This we have done through innovative technologies and a dedicated team that want to help make a better society for all us.

This year as we slowly emerge from the devastation that COVID and world affairs has brought, we are pleased to bring forward the ILLY Commissioner Forum focused on the key challenges Prof Dame Carol Black reported and Local delivery guidance which are implementing the core objectives.

We would like to share with you some inspiring work and ideas that we hope you can consider in your areas – these include presentations on County Lines, Rough Sleeping and Integrating Care.

Date: Wednesday November 30th 2022 – 10:30am – 12 noon.

Jason Kew

In my time as a police officer, I came to understand the unintended consequences and subsequent damage caused by marginalisation and inequality within the justice system, and became a passionate advocate for challenging stigma and diverting people away from the criminal justice system.

I helped to develop the Thames Valley drug diversion scheme which has triggered health-based drug interventions. Moreover, policies within education have changed to negate exclusions. Engaging all communities through diversion harmonises with a whole system approach.

I sit on panels where I share my knowledge on evidence-based drug diversion, and emerging UK schemes. A recent UN Commission on Narcotics side event demonstrated this.

I am the Lead GP for the Bristol Homeless Health Service.

Before that I have spent many years in more traditional forms of General Practice, including always working in Out of Hours.

I think it was in Out of Hours, staring at blank screens in the middle of the night, devoid of relevant patient information, that I became an enthusiast for data-sharing and interoperability.

The Homeless Health Service functions so much better with access to relevant and up to date information which we can see in Connecting Care.

My background is over 20 years working across different settings in the NHS starting in a mental health crisis team and training as a mental health support worker.

Realising that missing information between services and settings was responsible for many preventable adverse issues for service users, and so moving into the area of sharing data and information.

Fran has worked across local authorities, primary and secondary care and in interoperability (joining up of data across organisations) for over 10 years.

Now a Senior Project Manager and Engagement Lead at Connecting Care, (the Programme for Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire), she remains passionate about supporting front line colleagues to deliver better, safer care for everyone.
