Session A: Re-mobilise, Recover, Re-design – the Framework for NHS Scotland

The National Centre for Sustainable Delivery was established recently to drive national re-design and transformation programmes and enable a sustainable health and care system. This session will introduce the Centre and will showcase examples of established programmes that come under its umbrella. Delegates will hear about the approaches that will continue to be championed to support the recovery, re-mobilisation and re-design of health and care services.

The session will focus on:

Cancer Recovery and Early Diagnosis – how clinical collaboration and ‘once for Scotland’ working were crucial to a swift national response in limiting the impact of COVID-19 on cancer patients.

Re-design in Orthopaedic Services – how data has been used to drive service re-design and improve efficiency and patient outcomes.

Re-mobilise, Recover and Re-design of Endoscopy Services – an overview of the impact of the pandemic on the provision of Endoscopy Services and the implementation of new pathways and innovative technologies to support remobilisation.
