“When we hear the phrase the return on investment, there is a predilection to jump towards cash returns on cash investment. Actually, what we invest is more than cash: we invest better knowledge, we invest better relationships, and we return not just cashable savings, but the value that is returned is more joined up care for residents.”

Dr Andy Knox and Dr Sakthi Karunanithi from Lancashire and South Cumbria talk to us about making the case for population health management to improve population health and reduce inequalities. They discuss how using PHM and collaborating beyond the usual care deliverers can help systems to get upstream to help alleviate pressures.

Population Health Management bitesize #3: Making the case for PHM

We recorded this podcasts as part of our work to mark World Patient Safety Day 2023, to celebrate its theme of ‘engaging patients for patient safety’. It is part of a series of podcasts recorded with the Patient Safety Partners that work with the National Patient Safety Team, who play a vital role in providing a patient’s perspective to support our work to improve patient safety.
In this podcast, we speak to Khudeja, a patient safety partner who is also a CEO of a Women’s Centre supporting communities from black, Asian minority, ethnic deprived areas of Leicester and Leicestershire to address health inequalities. Khudeja talks about her experience as a Patient Safety Partner and why it is so important for patients to be involved in patient safety.

The Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF) is a new approach to learning from patient safety events in a way that leads to improvement in care. It was published in August 2022 and mandated in the NHS Standard Contract in April 2024.     

In this podcast, Tracey Herlihey from NHS England’s national patient safety team talks with Jenny Coverley from Middlewood Practice in Cheshire about her experience applying PSIRF principles in general practice.    

If you would like to get in touch about the content of this podcast, please contact us on patientsafety.enquiries@nhs.net.

Applying PSIRF in general practice

Your GP record suggests you may not have had 2 doses of the MMR vaccine. You need both doses for long-term protection against measles, mumps and rubella. 

It's now quicker and easier for you to catch up. You can book an appointment with your GP surgery, or you may be able to get your free MMR vaccine at some community pharmacies in certain areas. You can check if pharmacies are offering MMR vaccine walk-ins in your local area using the links at the top of this web page.  

You do not need to do anything if you’ve already had 2 doses. Please check your vaccination history in the NHS App, or you can contact your GP surgery if you’re not sure. 

The NHS offers MMR vaccination because these infections spread easily between people. They can lead to serious problems including meningitis, blindness, hearing loss and risks during pregnancy. It’s important you get fully vaccinated because measles cases are increasing in England. MMR vaccination is the most effective way to protect yourself. It also helps protect people who cannot be vaccinated, such as unborn babies, newborn babies and anyone with a weakened immune system.  

Find out more about MMR vaccination at www.nhs.uk/mmr. Information is also available in easy read and other languages and formats on this web page.
