The teams have been working together over the past two years to develop an Information Sharing Gateway (ISG), which allows certain organisations to share relevant healthcare information and data safely and securely.
More than 400 organisations in Lancashire and Cumbria, including hospitals, GPs, third sector organisations, police and schools are now using the system which allows them to demonstrate that they are sharing personal information with each other in a safe and efficient way.

A project team at University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust (UHMBT) and partners from the Lancashire and Cumbria Information Governance (IG) Group have been awarded the ‘Innovation’ Informatics Award, sponsored by the North West Coast Innovation Agency.
A project team at University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust (UHMBT) and partners from the Lancashire and Cumbria Information Governance (IG) Group have been awarded the ‘Innovation’ Informatics Award, sponsored by the North West Coast Innovation Agency. The teams have been working together over the past two years to develop an Information Sharing Gateway (ISG), which allows certain organisations to share relevant healthcare information and data safely and securely. More than 400 organisations in Lancashire and Cumbria, including hospitals, GPs, third sector organisations, police and schools are now using the system which allows them to demonstrate that they are sharing personal information with each other in a safe and efficient way.   The organisations who are part of the ISG share data to ensure seamless care for patients wherever they turn up for treatment – whether it be at their GP, their local hospital or another organisation. This helps the clinicians who are delivering care as they have all the relevant information in front of them when they see the patients, and also for the patient as they don’t have to repeat themselves to each clinician they see. Access to health care data is also essential to health research, leading to improved treatments and patient outcomes. All information sharing is carried out with the correct consent and in adherence with Data Protection Act principles. The ISG captures these arrangements and any associated risks electronically. The team gave a presentation to a panel of judges at a Connect conference in Blackpool last month, where they were presented with the award. Kevin Whittaker, Programme Manager for I3, UHMBT, said: “The award win is a real coup for the team. Patients rely on the efficient and safe sharing of their data to ensure that clinicians have access to the information they need - whenever and wherever they access treatment.” Organisations using the system can put Information Sharing Agreements in place with efficiency savings of more than 500%. Kevin added: “The new system has improved and modernised the administration and risk assessment of information sharing between organisations. Patients will also benefit from the improved healthcare outcomes that result from sharing health data in an appropriate way with research institutions and universities.” In the last year, the ISG system developed by the UHMBT team has been adopted by 1,510 organisations nationally and one internationally. Aaron Cummins, Deputy Chief Executive and Director of Finance, UHMBT, said: “This is a fantastic achievement for the team. The ISG system now means that data is able to flow between organisations where there is a justified purpose. This allows a much more seamless delivery of care and provides clinicians with complete and up-to-date information.” Future developments include a system where a patient at a GP practice can find out instantly how their information is being shared. This is subject to an Information Commissioners Office (ICO) grant funding application which, if successful, will make this available within 12 months.

It gives us great pleasure to announce that our Trust has won the Improving Value Through Innovative Financial Management or Procurement award at last week’s Health Service Journal awards We developed a programme of work with a focus on achieving savings in a clinically led, joined up, inclusive way that is being embedded into the DNA of the organisation to balance and complement patient experience and quality delivery.

WINNER
‘Supporting Learners in Practice (project)’ Award as part of the ‘Learning Matters –Awards’ 2017 run by Health Education England North West and partners.
Work around the Supporting Bereaved Relatives workshops.
Recognises the partnership working between Learning and Organisational Development, Bereavement Specialist Nurses and Facilities Departments. The workshops support the work around Improving End of Life Care with a focus on how we support relatives of those who have died.
The Trust has won the ‘Supporting Learners in Practice (project)’ Award as part of the ‘Learning Matters – North West Health and Care Awards’ 2017 run by Health Education England North West and partners, for the work around the Supporting Bereaved Relatives workshops designed and facilitated by Helen O’Neil, Carole Palmer and Lindsay Pinch.
This is fantastic news and recognises the partnership working between Learning and Organisational Development, Bereavement Specialist Nurses and Facilities Departments. The workshops support the work around Improving End of Life Care with a focus on how we support relatives of those who have died. After identifying a gap in training of support staff, in particular porters, a one hour training session was designed around their role in End of Life Care. The training took place as a trial on the Lancaster site and has since been extended to include domestics and other non-clinical staff across the bay. The training has meant working across different staff groups within the Trust. The fear of not knowing what to say to relatives and lack of understanding of what would be helpful in these sensitive circumstances often made the staff unwilling to interact with the bereaved, which in turn could make a bereaved family feel less supported and even more isolated. What was important to us was for the porters, and other staff to feel supported, knowledgeable and confident in their role and as a result bereaved families would also benefit from their understanding and increased sensitivity. Sessions included a range of interactive learning methods around basic theories of patterns of grief, information about support available for the bereaved families and for staff themselves within UHMBT. Importantly we created a learning environment for everyone to feel comfortable sharing their experiences to help in recognising the important role they play in the Trust. Some practical issues were raised during the sessions which have helped to improve processes as a result of changes being made. Evaluation of the sessions all gave positive comments indicating the sessions were worthwhile and had increased their confidence in supporting bereaved relatives and how for some being able to attend the training made them feel valued.
The Award Ceremony took place on Thursday 15 June at Manchester Museum, Oxford Road, Manchester.

The awards recognise and reward outstanding work in healthcare human resource management, and BLIC have been shortlisted in the Academi Wales Award for Excellence in Organisational Development.
BLIC was set up to support the collaboration of development and improvement initiatives across the Bay Health and Care Partners – supporting teams and leaders in their work in improving patient care.
In the past year they have set up and held three large scale clinical events for more than 80 clinical staff, including GPs, consultants, senior nurses, Allied Health Professionals and ambulance staff, which have been well-received and focussed on discussions about building a clinical community across the Morecambe Bay area.
The events also explored how different parts of the system can work together more effectively across both organisational and geographical boundaries.
The collaborative has commissioned a 12 month programme of support to Integrated Care Communities (ICCs) which has helped develop the ICCs and supported their leadership teams to support their communities.
The collaborative has also put on training for staff across the healthcare spectrum in the area, including coaching skills, risk-based approach to clinical risk taking, insights discovery, wellbeing and resilience and improvement methodology.
Sally Baines, Director of System OD and Culture Change for the Bay Health and Care Partners, said: “The creation of BLIC has shown to the rest of the Bay that cross organisational working can and does work and brings measurable and demonstrable benefits. It is One Step Beyond organisational development!”
“This shortlisting is a testament to the work undertaken by all the partners within the collaborative and their willingness to share learning with partner organisations.”

The nursing and I3 Clinical Content Team are one of five finalists in the category of ‘Best Nursing Technology’ for the roll out of the Comprehensive Digital Nursing Record across all three of the organisations main hospital sites.
Awards ceremony 31st October 2017
Trust shortlisted for national award for best nursing technology
The nursing and I3 Clinical Content Team at University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust (UHMBT) are one of five finalists in the category of ‘Best Nursing Technology’ at this year’s E Health Insider (EHI) Awards. The nomination relates to the work being done at the Trust with the roll out of the Comprehensive Digital Nursing Record across all three of the organisations main hospital sites.
The UHMBT team will present their projects to a panel of industry leaders during the judging day held on Monday 30 October with the winners being announced at the awards ceremony on the following day at NEC Birmingham.
The EHI Awards, which is in its eleventh year, is  the UK’s only dedicated flagship event within the healthcare IT calendar and recognises innovation and achievements in the healthcare technology sector. The awards acknowledge the exceptional accomplishments and contributions of individuals and organisations from across the industry.
Over the past ten months UHMBT has attracted the attention of national and international colleagues for its work on the clinically led Electronic Patient Record (EPR). Back in the summer the Trust’s Emergency Departments(ED) took a major step towards becoming ‘Paperlite’ by removing the paper CAS Card that was used in ED and replacing it with an Electronic CAS Chart available within the EPR. 
Tracy Carling, Project Lead for the Clinical Content Team, UHMBT, said: “It was a real coup for the I3 Content team to be shortlisted for this National Award.  Clearly the panel were impressed with the excellent progress we’ve made with our EPR with innovations such as the roll out of the Digital Nursing Record, electronic whiteboards and nursing iPods.”
Melanie Waszkiel, EPR Clinical lead, UHMBT, added: “I’m sure it will be quite nerve wracking on the day but we do have a great success story to present to the judging panel. It’s nice that all the hard work that the I3 content team have done in conjunction with the nurses has been recognised and that we’ve been given the opportunity to shine a spotlight on the work we’ve done on a National stage.”
Joann Morse, Deputy Chief Nurse, UHMBT, said: “This is fantastic news and testament to the nurses and I3 team’s diligence and dedication.  During the year we’ve had some really positive feedback from clinical leaders from around the world that have come to visit us at Morecambe Bay.
“To have made the final five in the category ‘Best Nursing Technology’ is some achievement and a further endorsement of the feedback we’ve received.  I know that the work that the team has delivered with Comprehensive Nursing Digital Record Roll Out has really helped the EPR to progress and improve patient care and I wish them all the very best on the night.”

17. Academy of Fabulous Stuff Awards Click to go back to the Cabinet
Nominated in 2 categories
Awards ceremony 23rd November
Please show your support and vote for these two inspiring initiatives at:
Better with you  category
Memory boxes – 4 candles category
The Better with You campaign is up for the 5127 category. Back in September 2016 the Trust launched a six week online and social media campaign aimed at attracting professionals from across the country to apply for hard to fill vacancies i.e. those posts that the Trust finds hard to recruit, both due to national shortages and additional challenges with our geography.
The campaign was made up of numerous visual and interactive methods, including images and quotes from current UHMBT staff shared online with links to vacancies, and Twitter ‘takeovers’ by existing staff – from nurses to divisional general managers – to get an insight on their roles and what it is like to work at the Trust. In addition, three films were created featuring current nurses, consultant radiologists and radiographers focusing on their working life at the Trust and life living in the Morecambe Bay area.
It resulted in 148 additional applications for hard to fill posts in just six weeks.
The 5127 category looks for a campaign that is:
Absolutely committed
Fiercely determined
Brim-full of self-belief
Refusing to compromise and dedicated to perfection.
The winner of the category must show that they have demonstrated all of these attributes refers to the number of prototypes that Sir James Dyson developed before finally marketing his first Dyson ‘Cyclone’ vacuum cleaner. If you have seen a project through from start to finish, hurdled obstacles, converted nay-sayers and delivered ultimate success, then you might be in the running

 Trish Holliday, Ward Manager for the Surgical Inpatient Unit, and her team on Ward 6 at Westmorland General Hospital have been shortlisted for the 4 candles award for their initiative to design and introduce memory boxes to improve engagement between Trust staff and patients with dementia.
The empty boxes are given to relatives to fill with items belonging to the patient such as photos, aromas, toys and letters. This helps to make families feel involved.
The 4 candles award: The 2 Ronnies, featuring Ronnie Corbett and Ronnie Barker, first broadcast their ‘4 Candles’ sketch in It features a shopkeeper, played by Ronnie Corbett, becoming increasingly frustrated by a customer, played by Ronnie Barker, because he continuously misunderstands what he is requesting. At Ronnie Barker’s memorial service in Westminster Abbey, the cross was accompanied up the aisle by four candles instead of the usual two.  The winner of this award must show that it has  relied on an ability to listen and respond to feedback from any source.
