Targeted support and development programme for systems and networks implementing INTs

Chart showing the programme of learning

The Context

  • A health and care system that is uncertain about how to move from reacting to the scale of demand to proactively meeting population health needs fairly. 
  • Where there is the opportunity to provide personalised care with more continuity for people with complex needs, which has the potential to reduce demand, and improve job satisfaction, but where that opportunity cannot be realised without headroom. 
  • Which in turn requires collaboration through experimentation and learning through doing real work together, rather than didactic traditional approaches.
  • All this is set within the national trend for PCNs to move away from the delivery model that dominated in the pandemic (a funding post box) to the original conception of PCNs as networks that provide support to secure resilient general practices, and that collaborate with services and communities to meet needs that can’t be met by general practice alone. 
  • This will meet the intention of the Fuller Stocktake to create the opportunity for collaboration with wider partners to meet complex needs.

Tony Hufflett

Tony Hufflett

Tony is a data activist and communicator who helps organisations get the most from the data available to them. In healthcare this is both a growing challenge and huge opportunity. Working with a team of marketing science experts and researchers, he brings analytical tools, creative thinking and communication skills to bear on healthcare data. These might include text analytics, data visualisation, machine learning or many other approaches. They will always include direct conversations and sense-making discussions.

His experiences range from complex multivariate work through to qualitative work, but is always anchored by a patient perspective in healthcare, and rests on a clear mission to get to ‘approximately correct rather than precisely wrong’ every time.

Tony has previously lived and worked in the USA, Japan and France. After graduating from Imperial College London, Tony trained and worked for the global branding and market research company Novaction (later part of IPSOS) in Paris and Tokyo and then established a successful office in Boston and worked in the USA for 10 years.

He subsequently joined the management consultancy ‘MaPS’ (Marketing and Planning Systems) in Boston as an equity partner. MaPS became part of the Kantar / WPP global advertising group. His clients were worldwide consumer organisations such as Unilever, American Express, VW Audi, Coca Cola, Disney, Apple Computer and many other household names.

Refocussed on the public sector and healthcare in the UK since 2010, Tony set up Datasyrup and has now worked in primary and acute care for many different general practices, PCNs, ICS, CCGs, federations and trusts. He works in a space that blends together data analytics and pragmatic improvement.
