Why I love the Academy
The West of England Academy provides a range of free resources to help users gain knowledge and develop essential skills for innovative thinking and working. The Academy is for all health and care professionals, front line, support services and commissioners, plus innovators living, working or planning to work in the West of England. We promote the use of quality improvement methodologies to support delivery of better patient care. In this video people who have used Academy resources or attended our events share their experiences, and we introduce the range of support we offer.
The Future of Care
The Future of Care events explore the new frontiers of science and innovation set to transform health and care in the future. At these events, we have brought together experts from across the world to discuss implications for the NHS and our local healthcare systems. The events examine the latest breakthroughs in technology and ground-breaking medical research. The first Future of Care event on ‘genomic science: now and future’ was organised with the South West AHSN. In the resulting report and video we capture the cutting-edge thinking and discussions from the event and how genomics will influence the future of care.
