35 years in NHS, latterly with a very forward thinking trust and city council
Centres of deprivation, high smoking rates plus history of BAT factory, docks Low levels of case finding until recently SUHT is regional centre and ‘attracts’ business
New trust formed from 2 PCT provider units Telehealth budget is a started budget – after set up 12 months the service is meant to fund from service budgets by re-aligning budgets The 2 JES look after all the equipment and in Southampton the installer is a joint funded position across telehealth and telecare
As service manager my driver was always – what could you use technology for
This project earned additional funding from the trust to improve the service
Finance is always difficult as telehealth makes savings elsewhere in the system and those people then claim it wasn’t the telehealth so they don’t have to give up budget.
