Investment in the NHS increases THE NHS – SUSTAINED INVESTMENT This year, investment in the NHS will reach a staggering £120bn. The underpinning strategies of the Government’s NHS reform are intended to deliver significant increases in NHS capacity, and cover three main areas: Physical Facilities, the Workforce and Information Management and Technology. As the NHS is providing more care than ever before, it is becoming increasingly complex and specialised, often involving teams working across a number of locations and organisations. The NHS is therefore changing the way it works, with the Government’s vision of a patient led NHS reflected in recent updates to the ten year reform plan. As the NHS broadens the amount of services it provides, an increasing level of involvement from the independent sector is inevitable if waiting list reductions and patient choice targets are to be met. The demands created by this increase in services offer those organisations that supply the NHS and independent hospitals sector unrivalled opportunities. PROCUREMENT IN PRACTICE - LOCAL SERVICES FOR LOCAL NEEDS Effective commissioning and procurement will depend on the relationship between local practices and Primary Care Trusts. Sharing high quality information effectively between teams and organisations will become an important part in providing safer, higher quality, patient-led care. Practice Based Commissioning will give more purchasing power and autonomy at a local level, as every hospital will have an indicative budget from their Primary Care Trust (PCT) to pull services into the community where they are most convenient for patients and provide better value for money.
PHYSICAL FACILITIES - MORE CARE MEANS MORE HOSPITALS The UK is building more new hospitals than all other G7 nations put together, with PFI hospital building schemes accounting for £9.5bn. With the new buildings comes a requirement for security, grounds maintenance, cleaning staff and materials, hospital equipment and consumables. WORKFORCE - THE LARGEST IN EUROPE The NHS employs over 1.3 million people in over 10,000 practices, trusts and PCTs. The investment in HR, training, hospital support staff and agencies has reached record levels, with training investment alone already costing £4 billion per year. Effective HR practices, with a strong emphasis on organisational development, are critical to successful working across the NHS and social care. INFORMATION MANAGEMENT AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY The scrapping of the National Programme for IT has opened the way for Private Sector companies to deal direct with NHS Trusts and PCT’s etc who are now able to source products and services that meet their individual needs - an ideal opportunity for companies to gain new business.
