BLOG: staff engagement app gives junior doctors at NELFT a voice
|
|
|
Three healthcare organisations in our partnership have successfully piloted ImproveWell, a smartphone app that encourages and enables healthcare staff on the frontline to make improvement suggestions for their workplace. Our latest blog is from Alana Ahmet, a junior doctor and psychiatric trainee at one of our pilot sites: North East London NHS Foundation Trust.
Alana gives us the scoop on the practical and emotional impact of the pilot and gives us her verdict on whether an app really can increase 'Joy In Work' for junior doctors.

Innovation spotlight
A monthly spotlight on innovations addressing some of the most pressing challenges facing our NHS.
This month we're highlighting an innovation that is helping to speed up patient referrals to specialist care providers.
The innovation, Medefer, is an advanced IT platform that has the capability to virtually triage patients (providing electronic advice and guidance) and deliver a consultant-led specialist outpatient service. Medefer speeds up referrals to specialist care by 95% and delivers a 40% cost saving for the NHS. The product also produces a detailed report, including consultant response times, referral outcomes and provisional diagnosis so GPs can access advice on their patient's pathway much quicker.
Medefer is supported by DigitalHealth.London’s Accelerator programme.
