St. Louis Area Business Health Coalition’s Post

If you don't have time to read the 163 page Darzi report on the state of the NHS.. 🎙 Listen to the BBC newscast "How Healthy is the NHS?" (🔗 in the comments) It's a really interesting discussion on why Darzi concludes that the NHS is in "critical condition". I listened to it in the car on the way to P4H England, an NHS procurement event ......................................................... And the event was great! 🔸 From a supplier’s perspective, it was invaluable to learn about the upcoming developments in NHS procurement over the next five years, helping us to collaborate more efficiently. 🔸I listened to plans for building relationships with suppliers, leveraging technology and investing in commercial Learning & Development for NHS staff. 🔸My favourite quote of the day came from the session: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘤 𝘍𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘕𝘏𝘚 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭: "𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞” (said Fiona Hilton, NHS England Director of Commercial Best Practice & Engagement). ......................................................... It shows that even in this digital age, PEOPLE really are an organisation's best asset. ⏲ And guess how long it took for the Darzi report to come up during the event? 3 minutes. ............................................................ How do you prefer to learn—through reading, watching, or listening? Let me know in the comments! ✍ ...………….........................................
