Content ArticleThis report, by Anna Starling for The Health Foundation, identifies additional implications of the new care models programme for local health and social care leaders embarking on cross-organisational change. The new care models programme is a large-scale experiment by the NHS’s national bodies to develop ‘major new care models’ that can be replicated across England. Introduced by the NHS’s Five year forward view in 2014 and launched in 2015, it aims to break down the traditional barriers between health and care organisations to establish more personalised and coordinated health services for patients. The programme aims to reconcile ‘top-down’ and ‘bottom-up’ approaches to change management. To do this, 50 local vanguard sites were selected to develop new care models, supported by a national programme led by NHS England over 3 years.

Content ArticleThe purpose of this guide is to help leaders and managers in businesses and organisations make their office workspaces safe for staff returning to work and reduce the transmission of the COVID-19 virus. This process begins with putting together a competent team and undertaking a risk assessment and staff survey to inform decision-making. Businesses are encouraged to consider the workplace as a whole system so that in mitigating a risk in one part of the work system, unintended consequences are not created in another. For example, new ways of work lead to increased workload/stress and reduced collaborative working.

Content ArticleDesign is a structured process for identifying problems and developing and evaluating user-focussed solutions. It has been successfully used to transform products, services, systems and even entire organisations. Based on the extensive experience of the aviation, military and nuclear industries, it is clear that effective design thinking can facilitate the delivery of products, services, processes and environments that are intuitive, simple to understand, simple to use, convenient, comfortable and consequently less likely to lead to error and accidents. Confusing, complex and unwieldy designs, which are all too often present in healthcare, are at best less effective than they could be. At worst, they are potentially dangerous to medical staff or the patient - or both. The contribution of design to improving safety in the context of medical systems is an area which remains relatively unexplored. This scoping review is a joint report from the Robens Centre for Health Ergonomics at the University of Surrey; The Helen Hamlyn Research Centre at the Royal College of Art; and The Cambridge Engineering Design Centre at the University of Cambridge to identify how the effective use of design could help to reduce medical accidents.
