Neighbourhood Health Service Simulation

Feedback plc (AIM: FDBK, "Feedback" or the "Company"), the clinical infrastructure specialist, has positively demonstrated the benefits of its Bleepa platform as part of the first ever simulation of the Neighbourhood Health Service in conjunction with the UK's leading enterprise management consultancy, PPL.

Designed to generate insights at four levels: neighbourhood, place, system, and national, the immersive two day simulation brought together over 100 representatives from across London's health and care systems to test a model that aims to build healthier communities and improved outcomes for Londoners.

Taking on clinical, patient and public roles within a simulated local health and care system, participants responded to realistic caseloads, operational pressures, and evolving events, mirroring the complexity of UK frontline healthcare..

The transition to integrated neighbourhood teams (INTs) will require a new digital infrastructure that allows multiple services to come together around the patient, both to share information and collaborate. The simulation highlights how well positioned Bleepa is to be an integral part of this.

The Neighbourhood Health Service

The Neighbourhood Health Service is aimed at delivering more integrated and proactive care, moving away from hospital-centric and towards community-based services. This involves strengthening connections between different health and care providers, including GPs, community health services, mental health support, and local authorities.

The goal is to improve health and wellbeing for all Londoners, particularly those with complex needs, by addressing both medical and non-medical factors that impact health.

The plans and delivery involve many key stakeholders, both from a central and local perspective, to work together including NHS England, the Greater London Authority, London Councils, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities, integrated care boards and local authorities across all London boroughs and the voluntary sector.

Simon Morioka and Claire Kennedy, joint Chief Executives of PPL, commented:

"It was thrilling to deliver the first ever simulation of the neighbourhood health service along with our colleagues from across the health and care sector. The feedback from everyone taking part has been "hugely positive with lots of learnings. There is a positive and optimistic sentiment about the new way of working that this model offers. We're excited that this has the potential to improve the health of the nation."

Dr Tom Oakley, CEO commented:

"We were privileged to join the PPL team and the simulation participants during the two-day experience to provide a demo version of Bleepa as the connected digital infrastructure to enable greater collaboration and communication. This simulation demonstrates Bleepa's capability to provide the crucial technology layer to facilitate the transition to neighbourhood delivery and we look forward to further supporting the Neighbourhood Health Service through its inception.

"We were able to get invaluable insights into how services might work across health and care providers and how our technology can help to strengthen those connections, provide one view of resident information, capture clinical decision making, and ultimately improve care coordination."
