  1. Healthcare ScientistsLeading Science in Health Jane Blower East Midlands SHA December 2011

  2. Quarter more over 85s by 2015 The cost of new drugs is increasing Diseases of modern lifestyles Rising consumer expectations The NHS is facing increasing pressures

  3. Semiconductor Microchips The Smart Band Aid Imaging Innovation and TechnologyThings are changing and new technologies are emerging…………. Engineering Structural Tissues

  4. Healthcare scientists - a unique role Work at the interface of basic science & clinical practice, initiating research to answer a clinical need Advance science & technology leading to new diagnostic or therapeutic interventions Generate and develop new ideas & knowledge Capture research outcomes and translate discoveries into practice Innovate to drive quality and productivity in delivery; Ideal position to introduce technologies to benefit patients.

  5. National Lead Scientist Programme DH funding for SHA Lead Scientists Secondment of scientists 2 days per week Already have professional networks with SHA Lead’s for AHP’s, pharmacists, audiologists National Lead Scientist group meets monthly at the DH

  9. To have a world class workforce that : • Raises the profile and awareness of contribution of scientific services to improving outcomes • Are active contributors to science in health and society • Continually evaluates clinical practice and care delivery models • Delivers excellence in knowledge creation, innovation and service improvement • Has the right skills and capabilities working in new and innovative roles to deliver high quality care • Works in partnerships with patients and other professionals, including as clinical leaders The vision for healthcare science

  10. What is the future for Healthcare Science? Achieving patient-centred outcomes Changes in the way we deliver diagnostic interventions and therapies. Become professional leaders Motivate others The establishment of healthcare science networks Driving innovation in service delivery Encouraging engagement in Modernising Scientific Careers

  11. Healthcare Science Events-Get Involved

  12. How Can we achieve the vision? Create and refresh networks Get involved Accept changing cultures Drive change Become leaders We need to work together Scientists have more recognition and influence amongst policy makers within the NHS than ever before but we do need more expertise and leadership from within our ranks to shape our future.
