• Users and key clinicians are often surprised at the
actual costs
• It has changed behaviour of clinicians and nursing staff
involved (less runners, less product opened)
• Stock takes are accurate and detailed
27. Product Recall – in less than 3 hours
Recent product recall within Cath Labs
• 62 products affected
• 91 serial numbers
Using the track and traceability, Within 3 hours…
- Identified 23 patients which used the products

33. 1. A system is made of parts
2. The system has an objective or aim
3. The parts of the system are related or connected
4. The parts must work together to deliver the aim of the
system
What is a system?
34.
35. • It’s a way of understanding that emphasises
relationships among a systems parts, rather than the
parts themselves
• Helps us to understand who we need to engage
and get on board with improvement efforts
• Be aware of and avoid making assumptions (this
takes away the capacity to collaborate)
• Systems are dynamic, a change in one part can
bring about an unintended consequence in another
• Systems have their own identity which is
reinforced by artefacts such as uniform, language
that are very powerful – to understand this is to open
up opportunity
Why is important in bringing about improvement?
36. 1. Events = what is seen – what happened?

understand the world and how we take
action’
Peter Senge, The Fifth Discipline 1990

Key driver behind the change
Lord Carter’s 2016 report reviewed operational efficiencies in NHS
providers and recommended improvements in the way the NHS chooses,
uses and purchases clinical supplies.
Identified:
• Improvements in procurement efficiency
• Over 600,000 products lines
• Up to 35% variation in product prices
• Adoption of a Procurement Transformation Programme.
Cash releasing saving:
• £2.4 billion
• Investment back into frontline services.
NHS buying power:
• The NHS has the potential, through greater collaboration, to leverage
its purchasing power on a national scale and deliver value for money
for NHS trusts and the taxpayer.

HOW DO WE ACHIEVE OUR SAVINGS TARGETS
Excellence in Supply Awards - 17 October 2019
52. 52
• There are 6 known issues with a net financial impact being worked on now
• In total, the impact is small. Fixes are expected to increase savings by 0.1%
• 2 issues have an estimated impact on total results >£1m
• Additional resources have been assigned to ensure all issues currently identified
will be resolved by year end
We ask all trusts to continue to work with us while we resolve these issues.
An interim incremental savings report is currently being tested by sample of trusts,
UCLH, Tameside, Salisbury, Aintree, Shrewsbury, Barking and Sheffield. All
responses/queries were fed back to us On Friday 4 October and we are working
through that feedback now.

Value Based Procurement
Excellence in Supply Awards - 17 October 2019
In October 2018 a panel comprising of Senior Representatives from Healthcare and the European
Medical Device Industry agreed that Value Based Procurement could be defined as:
‘An approach that delivers tangible, measurable financial benefit to the health system over and
above a reduction in purchase price; and/or a tangible and measurable, improved patient
outcome derived through the process of procurement (tendering, contracting, clinical
engagement and supplier relationship management).’
The management function of the NHS Supply Chain have invested funding in a project to consider the
potential benefits and practicality of a complimentary procurement approach known as of Value Based
Procurement (VBP).
Over the coming months the project will be engage with NHS clinical, financial, commercial and industry
stakeholders to undertake a series of small-scale pilots to generate test and refine the method of delivery
and capture the tangible results delivered.
If successful, this would provide an additional methodology which could be adopted by Category Tower
Service Providers, as a means of driving sustainable increased savings and improved patient outcomes
across the NHS.

86. Innovation Exchanges
Innovation Exchanges are an Office for Life
Sciences (OLS) funded and AHSN-coordinated
initiative, delivered through the 15 AHSNs.
Innovation Exchanges exist to identify, select and
support the adoption of innovations which have
the potential to stimulate the economy and
transform the lives of patients.
Innovation Exchanges will help drive the spread
and adoption of innovations, to ensure the latest
technologies reach patients quicker and at a lower
cost to the NHS.
By utilising the skills and knowledge of the AHSN
Network, Innovation Exchanges will provide a
central point of reference for innovators and
healthcare professionals.
87. The Innovation Exchanges
Innovation Exchanges are delivered through four core pillars:
• Needs Articulation: Working with NHS colleagues from across the system to
identify unmet needs or challenges that could benefit from innovative change
• Innovator Support and Signposting: Working with innovators to identify
innovations which could address the unmet needs and challenges faced by the NHS
• Real-World Validation: Testing innovations in real world settings to develop
evidence which can enable quicker uptake
• Spread and Adoption of Supported Innovations: Supporting the adoption of
innovations identified in the AAC, ITP/ITT and others identified across the Network
88. The AHSN Network offers a framework
of support to innovators via the
Innovation Pathway, which offers
bespoke assistance at every
stage of the innovation
lifecycle.
