Havering care homes are now able to provide better, joined-up care for local people thanks to an award-winning partnership scheme between The Healthy London Partnership, Accenture and NHS Digital. The organisations combined for a collaborative project with Havering-based care homes to empower social care professionals to digitally connect with the NHS, which has won a Health Tech Award for ‘User-Led Innovation and Experience’.
The project consisted of developing a sector-led set of support materials, as well as a marketing campaign using the voice of the sector to showcase the benefits of digital tools, including NHS Mail. The result was improving and speeding up communication for care providers across Havering, Newham, Tower Hamlets and Sutton at vital junctures, such as between a GP and a care home, with less reliance on old-fashioned equipment. The team’s work has contributed to the number of care providers using NHSmail to surge from 97 providers to over 1,300 since the start of the year.
