HOW CAN RESEARCH IMPROVE QUALITY EXAMPLES FROM MATERNAL & CHILD HEALTH John Wright on behalf of the researchers and clinicians in the Maternal and Child Health CLAHRC

CLAHRC maternal and child health Develop communities of practice Identify information needs Establish accurate and reliable data collection Link data to provide useful intelligence Feedback timely and accurate data and evidence to practitioners Promote professional change Bringing together researchers with practitioners from the NHS and Local Authorities to:

What difference does it make? Improved detection of gestational diabetes: 2%-7% Development of a regional congenital anomalies register Increase in Vitamin D supplementation: 10-90% Improvement in smoking cessation support Changes to the red book! Informing national policy for child health outcomes Evidence based computerised prompts for GPs

How did we do it? Align research and practice priorities Communities of practice – time and space Quality improvement techniques Strong partnership between NHS and universities Strong public engagement

CLAHRC goes to school

information absent from implementation/transformation decision making: Part I - economics Carl Thompson Professor TRiP-LaB, University of York

when the costs of “changing behaviour” are included in the implementation of even “cost effective” technologies… Sometimes… It just isn’t “worth it” “Ensuring this large scale adoption takes place is the task of every person working within the NHS and those accessing its services - we must all contribute $. ” $
