Health Strategy
HP&D work with public and private bodies like the NHS, HSE, government agencies, private healtcare and provider teams to look at effective future strategies for service delivery. We work to identify future needs and to offer an interface from clinical teams to:
- Help identify what, where and how their clinical strategy will improve services
- Detail the types of future service changes & process change via global case studies as EBD
- Work with organisations to facilitate the process flow, logistics, patient & staff flows to ensure efficient operational delivery
- Deliver guidance for the design team on the clinical strategy, scale, size and using our experience & guidance (HBN or similar) that are either Uk Irish or corresponding jurisdictions
- Work with all clinical and design teams to establish the strategy implementation. Conor has performed this role at places like Manchester Hospitals, Karolinska Sweden , St James Dublin, Newcastle Hospitals, Tunbridge Wells Hospital, British Colombia Women’s and Children’s in fact in more than 32 countries. His experience is amongst the very best globally,
- He was one of the main authors of the suite of 4 NHS playbook documents & led the extensive reviews of more than 24 major projects including championing standardisation & single rooms for many years. Conor Ellis was also one of the key authors for drafting the Irish Association of Emergency Medicine of Emergency Medicine (IAEM) good practice on the layout of planning Emergency Department buildings & capacity management published in summer 2024 .
The criticality is planning the full patient, staff and logistic journeys to determine interventions that can make the biggest impact on quality, safety and better outcomes. As can be seen below (1st image)there is too much concentration on design inputs versus operational in-use, with a complete imbalance between healthcare usage for revenue against a single one-off capital investment. Getting demand modelling right is down to understanding the future clinical model, as can be seen in the GPD forecast from Europe, the demand continues to rise, so maximising outcomes is crucial to a sustainable system.
Whilst we firmly believe that agreed system care pathways will enhance and provide sustainable healthcare we recognise that, in consultancy, clients often only need a part of the pathway. Conor has, not only, managed healthcare services involving the A-Z whilst in the NHS, but provided inputs covering primary care, mental health, elective care, Women’s and Children’s, ICU and theatres, Urgent and Emergency care ,Oncology, Staff and patient support facilities ,Research and development, digital platforms and Private Hospitals.
