Huge thank you to @Oracle for hosting our team day last Friday. It was good to have a dedicated space for our meeting and just down the road from the hospital! #thankyou
Great to attend the @tvalleychamber Reading Business Networking & Meet the Chamber event yesterday.
Interesting discussions with businesses across the #thamesvalley. People are really keen to understand the need to build a #newhospital & how the market can support. #rdguk

Great to hear from @CliveJonesMP at the @TValleyChamber Windsor Debates today talking about the huge experience in business he brings to the table and his plea to work more in partnership to accelerate growth in the Thames Valley area. As Lib Dem spokesman on trade he was keen to stimulate discussion on building right skills we need from pre-school right through life. Fantastic to have such resource & passion on areas that will impact on prevention health and well-being as one of our @RBNHSFT governors for the next 3 years.
Our CEO @CEO_RBFT was on the final panel today @TheKingsFund which focussed on what needs to be done in next 5-10 years to move care closer to home.
The @RBNHSFT puts this at heart of our clinical services strategy and is actively driving a number of initiatives to make this a reality locally.
Some examples of things we are doing
- 90% of ambulatory /diagnostics within 5 miles of hospital with services delivered across 7 sites
- Strong neighbourhood working through Meet PEET patient engagement and experience team
- Strong vaccination services to support prevention
Underpinning this is partnership.
Steve also talked about having shared understanding on definition of care closer to home across the system but also what it means for patients and discussed the role of the acute trust in prevention. For 185 years the trust has provided care for local community & as anchor institution we have responsibility for health & wellbeing of local population.
Population health management has also demonstrated time & again to impact on prevention & early targeted intervention but requires being built from bottom up & at every level, which takes time and means sharing risk.
Secondary care needs to engage with ‘neighbourhoods’ - what’s around people in localities is what will make difference to their health & wellbeing.

Norway building new hospitals smaller than before more specialised - opening a life science building. There are protests to keep the old hospitals. They will spend £1.7b just on technology
Hospital at home started 2008
30% reduction in people being treated in hospital by 2032
Some projects - blood disease, lung disease and at risk pregnant women which targets younger age group than in uk - which targeting older groups when trying to reduce beds. #digital #newhospitalprogramme #innovation
A huge thank you for telling us what the impact would be if we moved the Royal Berks. We heard from just over 10,000 staff, patient & the community from across #berkshire. We will share the highlights later in the year #newhospitalprogramme#thankyou#community
Our fabulous Health Inequalities Project Manager, Makini was at Hexham Road Community Centre this weekend. She carried out health checks with the @RBNHSFT Meet PEET. We talked about the new hospital programme & asked visitors about impact if RBH moved
