SUMMARY:HEALTHCARE SCIENCE IN SCOTLAND: REDEFINING OUR WORKFORCE
DESCRIPTION:This publication sets out how we will now define our healthcare science (HCS) workforce in\nScotland\, enabling it to be more visible and valued so that it can be better considered and\nutilised in the planning and delivery of services and therefore support improved outcomes for\nour population. \n\nHealthcare scientists play a vital role in delivering safe\, effective\, and innovative care across\nNHS Scotland. This paper details the areas where healthcare science can be better aligned\nwith wider health policy\, such as the Scottish Government’s Service Renewal Framework. It\nrecognises the role of the profession in advancing prevention\, digital transformation\,\npersonalised care\, and population health planning and underlines the need for greater\nvisibility and understanding of the profession to deliver on the commitments for NHS\nrenewal. \n\nView Paper HERE

SUMMARY:June Edition of National Physiological Science Transformation Programme Brief
DESCRIPTION:National Physiological Science Data Collections \nOur national Gastrointestinal (GI) Physiology and Urodynamics data collections are open until Friday 4th July.  To date\, 46% of GI  and 26% of Urodynamic services have completed or made a start. We encourage all services to participate. \n  \nDuring May and June 2025\, we have hosted a number of webinars to share analysis from the Cardiac Science\, Respiratory and Sleep\, Vascular Sciences and Neurophysiology data collections.  A webinar to share the key messages from the audiology stocktake is scheduled for September 2025. \nOur physiological science dashboard can be accessed from here. If you would like to request access to view our dashboard\, please complete this form – Dashboard access form (please allow up to 10 days for the team to grant access). \nOur physiological science reporting dashboard now includes data collected from the adult and paediatric audiology collections. \nThe Ophthalmic Diagnostics and Imaging national collection will be open from Monday 15th September to Friday 10th October 2025.  Work is currently in progress to identify contacts who will be submitting data on behalf of NHS trusts.  We’ll be hosting a webinar on the 27th August to provide a technical walkthrough of the data collection and share more information about the data that is being requested. \n  \nPlease refer to our FutureNHS Collaboration Platform for information\, webinar recordings and updates relating to our national data collection  – https://future.nhs.uk/PhysiologicalMeasurements/groupHome \n  \nCapital Funding \nIn April 2025\, ICB’s submitted outline capital investment proposals for diagnostic services\, against the national capital allocation to support the return to achieving NHS constitutional standards. Approximately £29 million of capital investment for Physiological Science services has been indicatively approved – with business cases now being developed for this investment to be allocated to provider organisations. Trusts are encouraged not to delay submitting their business cases for physiological science equipment and facilities schemes\, so that funding can be released and equipment purchased. \n  \n  \n  \nPaediatric Audiology Services \nRecent national communication to ICB’s asks them to submit updated trajectories on the recall and reassessment of those patients identified as requiring a follow-up assessment. The letter also asks ICB’s and provider organisations to support mutual aid between providers in a system or Network. \nNational Audiology Improvement Collaborative \nExpressions of interest are now open for the second Audiology Improvement Collaborative\, which will commence in September 2025. Up to eight providers will be supported by NHS Elect to use a range of improvement methodology and local data to identify\, develop and test improvements within their service. The expression of interests will close on the 28th July 2025. \nListen to the recording of the webinar here. Expressions of interest can be submitted using this form. \nNHS Elect are hosting a shared learning webinar on the 8th July which will include learning from the providers who participated in the first Audiology Improvement Collaborative. Register here: \n  \nPhysiological Science Networks \nWe participated in a diagnostic workshop looking at how diagnostic networks including Physiological Science Services can become sustainable in the future. There is still lots to do to show the benefits of integrating physiological science services within Networks. Whilst PS networks are in their infancy compared to Imaging and Pathology networks\, there is a need to ensure the work of networks is operationally value adding and short-term opportunities to deliver savings from integration (e.g. through better procurement) are realised. \n  \nSite Visits \nThe team have been involved in providing advice and support to the Kings College Hospital Echocardiography service and will be involved in visits to the Lancashire Teaching Hospitals Echo service and the Chesterfield Hospitals Audiology service over the coming weeks.\n  \nIQIPS Webinars\nThank you to all the presenters who presented in our IQIPS webinars. All webinars can be accessed here. A new schedule of IQIPS webinars will return in September. \n  \nAI in Echocardiography Webinar\nCardiologic will be discussing their Us2.ai\, an AI-powered software solution designed for real-time\, automated reporting of echocardiograms. It connects to any echo device and provides fully automated reports. With full AI automation\, US2.ai generates a complete patient report\, including editable annotations\, in under 2 minutes. Register to here to join \n  \n  \nCase Study request \nIs there something about your service you are proud about? Have you reduced your waiting lists\, made improvements to staff and/or patient satisfaction?  We would love to hear from you so we can build our collection of case studies. Contact karen.pearson30@nhs.net \n  \n  \nCoffee with Keith\nIf you would like to have a virtual discussion with Keith Pearce\, National Speciality Advisor for Cardiac Science\, as a way to help promote ideas\, share solutions/best practice\, promote\, and celebrate success\, please e-mail england.psprogarmme@nhs.net \n  \nContact us. \nIf you have any questions for the national team or anything to feature in the next newsletter\, please get in touch with the team – england.psprogramme@nhs.net    \nFor more information on the National Physiological Science Transformation Project please visit our NHS Futures Page – Physiological Science Programme – FutureNHS Collaboration Platform
