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

SUMMARY:PhD Studentship
DESCRIPTION:Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide) \nManchester Metropolitan University and University Hospitals of Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust are sponsoring a PhD studentship\, to develop methodology to measure Alzheimer’s disease biomarkers in the plasma of obstructive sleep apnoea patients. \nAlzheimer’s disease (AD) is pathologically defined by the abnormal accumulation of extracellular proteins/peptides such as amyloid beta (Aβ) and tau in the brain\, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood. Recent methodological advances have enabled the development and validation of plasma biomarkers that are expected to simplify AD diagnosis. The quality and quantity of sleep\, which is significantly disrupted in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) patients\, has been associated with changes in blood AD biomarker levels in cross-sectional studies. Furthermore\, pathological levels of AD biomarkers have been described in CSF of OSA patients\, suggesting that sleep apnoea is a potential risk factor for AD. \nClick Here For More Information

SUMMARY:PGCert Sleep Medicine - Availability for Placements
DESCRIPTION:Can you support our PGCert Sleep Medicine students at UWE Bristol with short placements to aid completion of their workplace portfolios. \n  \nThe PGCert Sleep Medicine is a fast-track programme\, commissioned and fully funded by NHS England\, aimed directly at individuals currently working in NHS healthcare roles who are looking to upskill into sleep to help address the skills gaps evident within the NHS. \n  \nWe know that service pressures and staffing are an ongoing issue for many services\, and you may not feel you can accommodate a placement student at this time. However\, our students don’t need to work in a service for long periods\, they just need short but meaningful learning experiences and clinical exposure (e.g. shadowing\, sitting in on clinics\, professional discussions – either in person or online)\, though hands-on experience is always appreciated. And these students will soon be highly trained sleep professionals who can help to address the workforce gaps in your services going forward. \n  \nWe currently have 32 students on course who are actively completing their portfolio at present\, and will be confirming our October 2025 intake (maximum 50 students) very soon\, and so it would be good to share up-to-date placement information with them. \n  \nI hope you will be able to support our students in the coming year. Please share the link with your networks – the more placement sites we can offer\, the wider range of practical experience we can offer to students and the less burden on a small number of available placement sites. \n  \nYou’ll find further information and entry criteria on our website HERE \n  \nPlease complete the form HERE
