Why bother? 3

4 To improve care for patients!

Where have we come from? 5

Early clinical audits and enquiries… Professionally (medically) led and run Small scale, pen & paper exercises Unsophisticated methodology The only “audience” was medical Mechanisms for change relied on feeding results back to individual clinical teams or on one-off national reports 6

What’s changed? A multi-million pound investment by the NHS The complexity of patient care and clinical practice Scientific methodology Public attitudes and expectations Professional attitudes and expectations IT and the internet Twitter, Facebook etc 7

Those able to influence patient care are varied and multiple… 8 Improving patient care Policymakers Politicians Local NHS leaders; CEOs etc Press Patients Public Professionals & their teams Regulators Commissioners

So outputs have to be varied and multiple…

Common myths A compelling case will inevitably attract additional resources Improvement will happen if; –We just show people the data –NHSE, HQIP, CEOs, the Colleges etc say it should –We attach money to it –We attach penalties to not doing it 10

More myths CEOs/policymakers/politicians are just interested in the money The press are only interested in bad news The press are out to get us Clinical experts intuitively know how to improve their own services Those who can write research papers can also write other stuff 11

Communicating messages to clinicians 12

Communicating messages to clinicians; preaching to the choir? 13

2013 national lung cancer audit 14

2013/4 stroke audit 15

Link it to quality improvement 16

Politicians, policymakers, NHS leaders, CEOs, MDs, Trust Boards 17

Politicians & policymakers have.. Very limited time Numerous competing pressures Lots of people like us trying to get their attention (Probably) an intrinsic suspicion of Colleges & professional bodies An enhanced sensitivity to the press, public opinion, current news and priorities 18

CEOs, MDs, Trust Boards have… Very limited time Numerous competing pressures Lots of people like us trying to get their attention (Probably) an intrinsic suspicion of Colleges & professional bodies Sensitivity to local issues A fear of negative press, especially locally 19

So they need….. 20

So they need….. Bullet point headlines An interpretation of “what this means” about the service in lay terms An indication of where we stand in comparison to peers Examples of good practice internally and externally Offers of more detail or expert comment 21

The press? 22

23

The press Most journalists are good, hardworking people trying to do the right thing Their perspective, pressures and timescales are very different from ours They assume that vested interests (that’s us!) are trying to hide something from them They can be a powerful vehicle for getting you message across 24

The press Their communication style (headline, sub- headline, detail) is almost exactly the opposite of a traditional clinical one Their deadlines are very tight They like human stories to put around reports Social media gets their attention as does HSJ, BMJ, Nursing Times, local papers etc. 25

Suggestions for dealing with the press Get media training Know who your strongest performers will be; –Verbal, visual, print Be proactive –Ready-made press releases –Twitter –Provide human (patient and professional) stories –Provide them with good news stories 26

Suggestions for dealing with the press Have 3 key messages; lead with these Use the right phrases (“I have 3 key messages”, “as a doctor…”) Use numbers sparingly and present them in an easily understood fashion Consider getting a professional writer to help 27

Summary For maximum impact our work needs to reach a range of audiences One size does not fit all; use different styles and techniques for different groups Consider getting professional help –Media training –Professional writers –Social media experts 28
