I believe that as we continue to seek new ways to tackle these challenges, adopting innovation will need to be at the heart of each and every discussion.  \nIn my time as a physician and clinical pharmacologist, and later in my work with the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE), I have had the opportunity to see the excellent results that can be achieved in environments where innovation is encouraged and fostered, but also the need to ensure that this does not result in variations of practice in different areas.  \nFollowing the introduction of Innovation Health and Wealth, and the structural changes within the NHS, there has never been a better opportunity to seek a radical, consistent and permanent change to the culture of innovation. I believe that with forward thinking leadership in the NHS, with the support of the Academic Health Science Networks, and with new proactive relationships with industry, we are on the verge of great things.  \nIn the spirit of this new mindset, I would like to introduce Preparing for joint working and the Seven Steps: A guide for NHS organisations, which I hope will offer some practical support to NHS organisations looking to work with the pharmaceutical industry.  \nSir Michael Rawlins  \nChairman of the Eastern Academic Health Science Network  \nPREPARING FOR JOINT WORKING AND THE SEVEN STEPS  \nINTRODUCTION  \nIn December 2011, Sir David Nicholson, Chief Executive of the NHS in England, introduced Innovation Health and Wealth, Accelerating Adoption and Diffusion in the NHS, to outline both the challenge and response to how services are delivered, and innovation adopted, within the NHS. The report, and the new mindset defined within it, has gone on to affect the strategic considerations of every NHS organisation, creating an innovation-oriented language that was often missing in many sectors. Two years, and one structural overhaul of the NHS, on, we are now beginning to see this vision take shape and some outcomes being realised.  \nOne clear example of the national drive to deliver this agenda is with the introduction of the Academic Health Science Network, tasked to provide a systematic delivery mechanism to work across a range of partners to fast-track and spread innovation within the NHS. As these organisations continue to develop, and establish programmes of work, the adoption of the vision of Innovation Health and Wealth will become more ingrained within NHS operations at every level.  \nThis toolkit, developed by the PrescQIPP NHS Programme, working in partnership with the Eastern Academic Health Science Network, offers practical support for NHS ","cbCaionMBwauLr9J","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaionMBwauLr9J","pdf",1046456,33,"English","# Foreword\n## Introduction\n# Perspectives\n## Working with the pharmaceutical industry: Then and now\n## Establishing a joint working project within your organisation\n## First steps\n## Checkpoint: Is this actually a joint working project?\n## Summary\n# Further reading and useful resources","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of Preparing for joint working and the Seven Steps for NHS organisations?\",\"answer\":\"It provides practical support for NHS organisations to undertake joint working projects with the pharmaceutical industry, including preparation, guidance through the process, and improved understanding.\"},{\"question\":\"Which process does the guide support for joint working with the pharmaceutical industry?\",\"answer\":\"It supports the ABPI Seven Steps joint working process, endorsed by the Department of Health and the NHS Confederation.\"},{\"question\":\"What should NHS organisations do before starting a joint working project?\",\"answer\":\"Follow the early steps and the checkpoint to confirm whether the proposed work is actually a joint working project before proceeding.\"}]","Preparing for joint working and the Seven Steps - A guide for NHS organisations | PDF"]
