Iñigo Ormazabal, resident pharmacist in Alcorcón Foundation University Hospital visited for four weeks in 2014. A final year pharmacy resident from this institution in Madrid visits us each year to observe how we practice medicines optimisation on a day to day basis. He was impressed by the amount of time spent on ‘face to face’ patient contact and how pharmacy is an integral part of the ward multidisciplinary team. Elena Álvaro (not in picture) arrived with us in February 2016 and plans to spend one of her four weeks learning more about antimicrobial stewardship and the enabling technology used.

In the opening speech of the launch event of the Slovenian ECHAlliance Ecosystem the chairman of ECHAlliance Brian O’Connor said: ‘Please applaud the organisers of this event, you’ve prepared a great strategy and plan, and here we are witnessing a great launch event.’ In cooperation with CORAL Europe & HealthDay.si ECHAlliance launched the Slovenian ECHAlliance Ecosystem on 18 February 2016 in Ljubljana. European Connected Health Alliance (ECHAlliance) is an initiative that connects different stakeholders in health and social care in now already 30 ecosystems mainly in Europe, but also in North America and China. HealthDay.si is a community of health-tech companies, startups and other interested organisations that has been organising events and other activities since October 2014 with the aim to help innovative projects and companies in reaching out to global markets.
Integrated care
One of the key speakers was Dianne Gill, ECHAlliance Northern Ireland and Assistant Director MOIC. Dianne explained that in Northern Ireland, where integrated care was introduced to the whole country, positive results are already visible. ‘We have focused on patients not on processes when we introduced our integrated care programs. The results have been very good, the amount of medications used has decreased, hospital stays went down, we are now in better control of waiting times.’ It’s true that their work has been made easier by the support of their government. ‘The ministry for health and ministry for enterprise and trade have signed a memorandum, by which they have exhibited their support for the integrated care projects.’

Prof. Mike Scott and Glenda Fleming presented MOIC at the 2nd Northern Ireland Clinical Innovation Conference, 7-8 October 2015, Riddel Hall, Belfast. The collaborative conference aims to build relationships between Northern Ireland clinical researchers and the pharmaceutical industry with a view to increasing collaborative research and adoption of innovation. Using a cross-sector approach with the needs of our patients at the centre of the plans, the event is aimed at enhancing Northern Ireland’s ability to attract, foster and implement clinical innovation. The conference will build on last year’s successful Clinical Research Visit, which resulted in the initiation of over twenty potential new research collaborations. One year on, the challenge is not only to maintain this momentum, but also to explore how our health and social care system can derive maximum benefit from implementing and adopting clinical innovation at a time of great change and equally great financial pressure.
