  1. Creating a Sustainable Health and Care System The role of leadership and HWBs David PencheonNHS Sustainable Development Unit 15th Jan 2013 Peterborough

  2. If we want: • A health and care system that is truly fit for the future • A system that is an exemplary leader to meet present and future population needs and demands • A system that is fair, participative, integrated and operates within financial and environmental limits – with more efficiency and adding more value We will need: • Transformation: to revisit the purpose (and develop better models) for a public health system, a health care system and a social care system • Partnership working, engagement, measurement and governance • Profound leadership

  3. Sustainable healthcare? “Healthcare that meets the needs of the present… …without compromising the ability of others, in future or elsewhere now, to meet their own needs” - Adapted from the Brundtland Commission

  4. To improve health and deliver high quality health care to the public and patients To behave within environmental limits – not prejudicing the future Maintain financial viability - Barbier, E.,1987.

(2006). "The Future of Sustainability: Re-thinking Environment and Development in the Twenty-first Century."Report of the IUCN Renowned Thinkers Meeting, 29–31 January 2006.

  5. Why / how does change happen and what is the role of leadership? • Burning platform • Curiosity > Opportunities > Competitiveness • Organised efforts of society / laws / policies • Technological advances • Social/cultural tipping points • Reaction to sudden events? • King’s Cross Fire, 9/11

Unprecedented heat-related deaths during the 2003 heat wave in Paris: consequences on emergency departments Jean-François Dhainaut, Yann - Erick Claessens, Christine Ginsburg, and Bruno Riou.

  7. Current drivers in health/care • Demographic – growing / ageing • Long term, mutiple conditions • Technology • Growing / changing expectationsof public, patients and staff • Triple bottom line health care • Economic: more value for investment • More health and social outcomes • Within environmental limits

  8. NHS England CO2e footprint 1990 – 2020 with Climate Change Act targets

  11. Who produces the greenhouse gases? The world map reflecting production related to climate change.“Climate Change presents the biggest threat to health in the 21st Century” The Lancet (373;9697  pp 1659-1734, May 16-22 2009).

  12. Who bears the burden? The world map reflecting mortality related to climate change.“Climate Change presents the biggest threat to health in the 21st Century” The Lancet (373;9697  pp 1659-1734, May 16-22 2009).

  13. “What is good for adaptation to, and mitigation of, climate change......is ALSO good for health and healthcare” For the public’s health More physical activity, better diet, improved mental health, less road trauma, less air pollution, less obesity/ heart disease/cancer, more social inclusion/cohesion... For the healthcare system More prevention, care closer to home, more empowered / self care, better use of drugs, better use of information and IT, fewer unnecessary admissions, bettermodels of care… For global health inequalities / social justice Contraction and convergence, technology leapfrogging Health co-benefits:

  14. Why do healthcare organisations take sustainable development and climate change seriously? • Save money • Comply with regulation • Improve resilience • Enhance reputation • Improve health

  15. Priority areas formore sustainable clinical practice? • Helping people eat better and move better • Enabling women to have control over their fertility • Targeting prescribing on those most likely to benefit • Promoting a greater sense of belonging • Helping people manage care before / without / after specialist hospital care • Helping people manage a better death

  16. The journey so far...

  17. Results of Public Opinion Survey: Source: Ipsos MORI http://www.sdu.nhs.uk/healthcheck2012 http://tiny.cc/w7fg5

  18. Views and Values of NHS Leaders • Almost nine out of every ten leaders surveyed in the NHS actively engage with sustainability and believe it is important • 60% believing it is essential to the running of their organisation • Easy things: • Promoting energy efficiency • Engaging with staff on sustainability • Implementing travel initiatives • More challenging: • Improving infrastructure • Ensuring sustainable pathways and models of care • Working with other groups and organisations to achieve more sustainable results Source: RAND survey http://www.sdu.nhs.uk/documents/publications/RAND_Europe.pdf

  19. Five lessons in leading change in this area... This is a journey: Therefore engagement and a call for action is crucial: Leaders need to ask, listen, understand and re-articulate the win-wins, and take exemplary action Don’t focus too much on the environment / climate change – focus on finances, governance, reputation, resilience, ethics and health. Don’t start where you are, start whey THEY are… Focus on positive, win-wins, and align change/incentives with what is driving large scale societal change Measure, compare, track progress, report, reward/award to help embed SD within evolving system-wide governance Work on efficiency and transformational change simultaneously

  20. Regional meetings The Environment Agency, the NHS SDU, and Climate UK are hosting a national programme of local workshops during February and March 2013 to Health & Wellbeing Boards to realise their objectives in a changing climate. • East – 14th Feb • West Mids – 26th Feb • South West – 27th Feb • East Mids – 1st March • Manchester – 4th March • York – 5th March • South East – 6th March • London – 7th March
