This latest episode discusses population health across our area and the importance of improving health outcomes.
Her guests this week are: Emma Tatlow CEO of Active Lincolnshire, Rima Chauhan Head of Pharmacy, Integration and Place at Derby and Derbyshire ICB, and Vivienne Robbins, Director of Public Health and Communities at Nottinghamshire County Council.
Subjects discussed include how to increase healthy life expectancy, the use of population health management, making the best use of our population data and successful preventative interventions.
Kathy said: “I really enjoyed hearing about the progress we’re making. Our job as part of the commissioning landscape is to do all we can to improve healthy life expectancy. We need to move further, faster and align the resources and enablers.”
In this podcast series, Kathy talks to people working in a range of organisations across the DLN system from hospitals to the local authority and voluntary sector. Kathy leads discussion on the challenges and opportunities of providing healthcare, what’s already working well and how best we can work together to improve our population’s health.
