Covid & Social Care: Emerging from the crisis & planning for the future: COVID-19 has drastically reshaped social care in just a few months. The long-term impact of this can’t be known at this point but to effectively manage whatever the “new normal” turns out to be, it is critical that local authorities make decisions from a sound evidence base. Birmingham City Council have been working with Affinity Works to assess how analytics and demand modelling platform - Social Care: Landscape - can deliver a detailed picture of changes in the nature of demand as a result of COVID, provide critical insights into likely future demand & supply, evaluate the risks – and even identify opportunities - that are emerging as the immediate crisis eases.

The system also allows the care teams the opportunity to send secure images of wounds and rashes as well as having fully secure video consultations. Catherine and Sarah will discuss the drivers, methods, challenges and outcomes of the implementation.

This policy theme touches on so many areas of the public sector, from the links between social and health care, the impact of public health strategies on outcomes for whole communities, through the interactions and handoffs of responsibilities between Tier 1 & Tier 2 authorities in some parts of the country and not forgetting the implications of education in improving not just career opportunities but long term physical and mental wellbeing.

Transforming public health, a person centred approach:  Southwark Council is leading a digital transformation programme to improve the reach and impact of its health and well-being services in partnership with local NHS and VCS stakeholders. Working with digital service design agency Comuzi, the team have just completed the alpha phase of a digital service that aims to improve well-being and support residents to make sustained changes to their lifestyle behaviours; in order to help with both prevention and management of long term conditions. Central to the design has been to ensure that the approach does not increase inequalities, and has focused on Southwark's more deprived and BAME communities.

SILVER PARTNERS

 NDL

Our goal is clear - "To aid digital transformation in the public sector, for the public good". We believe in the manageable evolution of processes to drive efficiencies, liberate information, and improve experiences for those that both deliver and use our public services. 
NDL’s end-to-end transformation products and services allow customers to free up capacity behind the scenes. This means allowing staff to focus on the tasks that matter, and aiding staff and citizens as they provide or consume frontline services. A true Digital Transformation capability built upon and fully integrated with current systems, boosting the power of existing investments and services.
We’ve watched with great pride as colleagues in NHS Trusts and Local Authorities have used our solutions to achieve years’ worth of digital transformation in a matter of months, responding to the extreme challenges brought on by COVID-19. We remain committed to working alongside our community of public sector customers to make both front end and back end transformation as simple, cost-efficient and accessible as possible.
For Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (BCHC), co-ordinating efforts of 4,500 members of staff in over 200 hospitals, clinics and health centres to deliver over 100 community and specialist services during the COVID-19 outbreak has been vital. The Trust needed to measure the virus’ impact on its services, to allow them to mobilise and galvanise resources such as staff and PPE availability, to meet the increased demand in the most effective way possible.
Because of the investment made by the Trust in 2019, BCHC’s Performance, Contracting, and Information team was able to build on those foundations to respond rapidly to recent events. They created a system to be used across the Trust that allowed the Executive and Management teams to track and visualise capacity across the organisation using NDL’s Digital Process Automation platform.

GeoPlace

GeoPlace LLP is a public sector limited liability partnership between the Local Government Association (LGA) and Ordnance Survey. 
GeoPlace maintains a national infrastructure that supports the address and street information needs of the public and private sectors. Its work relies heavily on close working relationships with every local authority in England and Wales. This relationship has been developed over 20 years, to build the National Address Gazetteer infrastructure and National Street Gazetteer.  Ordnance Survey develops the range of AddressBase products from the National Address Gazetteer and OS MasterMap Highways Network from the NSG. 
The Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN) and the Unique Street Reference Number (USRN) are the unique identifiers for every addressable location and street in Great Britain. They are created by local authorities who have the statutory authority to name and number every street and property and Ordnance Survey who identify objects on the landscape which may otherwise not attract an address.
The Government has now mandated the use of UPRNs and USRNs as the standard way of referencing and sharing information about properties and streets across government. This will help to improve services for citizens, reduce costs, and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of data sharing. From 1 July 2020, these identifiers will be open data.
These unique reference numbers link datasets together and share information with other organisations who also use them. They provide a comprehensive, complete and consistent identifier throughout a property's life cycle – from planning permission or street naming through to demolition.
