Real-Time Location System (RTLS) Project – Barts Health NHS Trust 

Barts Health NHS Trust implemented a hybrid RFID/Bluetooth tracking system across five hospital sites to manage 45,000+ medical devices. This automates medical device audits, ensuring 100% compliance with safety standards and reducing clinical risk, improved accountably for safety notices and identification for regulator requirements. Enhanced visibility ensures the right equipment is serviced and available at the point of care. Now transitioning to business as usual, it offers a scalable Scan4Safety blueprint for other NHS trusts.

London Ambulance Service’s Medicines Modernisation Programme, launched in 2020 to introduce a dedicated pharmacy department, purpose-built packing facility, and digital track-and-trace systems. Controlled drug losses fell to zero, medicines recall tracing time reduced from four days to under one hour, and monthly packing productivity nearly tripled while delivering approximately £200,000 annual savings.  Medicines governance, workforce development, and medicines supply resilience have all improved. Now a national benchmark, LAS’s Chief Pharmacist leads the group developing medicines assembly standards for ambulance and defence medical services across England.

CHILDS – Child Health Integrated Learning and Delivery System – Evelina London 

Evelina London’s CHILDS model delivers neighbourhood child health teams and proactive early intervention nursing across GP practices in south-east London. Since 2021, over 8,000 children have been discussed by a CHILDS team, and have received quicker access to specialist advice without the need for hospital appointments.

Through the model, children have avoided unnecessary hospital appointments, A&E attendances for those discussed have reduced by 27%, and 90% of children with uncontrolled asthma showed clinically significant improvement following early intervention. The model has expanded across south-east London boroughs and attracted international interest from Boston Children’s Hospital and Sydney Children’s Hospital Network.

South East London ICB Women’s and Girl’s Health – NHS South East London Integrated Care Board 

South East London ICB’s Women’s and Girls’ Health Hub launched in 2025 and is shaped by engagement with nearly 1,700 women, providing one-stop multidisciplinary care for women and girls aged 13+ across Lambeth, Greenwich and Bexley. Most patients are triaged within one week and seen within four weeks. Self-referral routes, community ambassadors, and materials in 10+ languages ensure the service reaches women who do not routinely access NHS care. 

Harrow Psychotropic and Physical Health Clinics – Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust 

Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust redesigned their depot injection and clozapine clinics in Harrow serving 400+ patients, using existing resources and no additional funding. Driven by patient feedback and serious incident learning, improvements included protected clinic capacity, standardised pathways and enhanced psychosocial support. The project received a CNWL Safety Improvement Award and is being expanded across other clinics. 

North West London Sleep Medicine Services & Imperial Health Impact Lab – North West London Integrated Care Board 

Spearheaded by the sleep medicine service in Charing Cross Hospital, patients in North West London now experience a novel postal home-testing service using AcuPebble, a reusable AI-enabled wearable for diagnosing sleep apnoea, developed by Imperial College. The waiting list has drastically fallen, median diagnosis time dropped, and plastic waste reduced by 99%.

The pathway saves an estimated 12.6 tonnes of CO₂ per year while improving health equity by removing travel barriers for lower-income patients and reliance on racially biased technologies. Now routinely commissioned care in North West London, the model is expanding to five other NHS regions and into paediatric and learning disability services. Initially funded through support from Imperial Health Charity (secured by Dr Patrik Bächtiger at the Health Impact Lab), the pathway has evolved through visionary clinical (Dr Brendan Milanes) and managerial (Alice Moore) leadership to exemplify the three-shifts of the 10-Year NHS Health Plan. 

Kofoworola Abeni Pratt Fellowship – Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust 

Established in 2021 at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, the Kofoworola Abeni Pratt Fellowship tackles the underrepresentation of global majority nurses, midwives and allied health professionals in senior leadership. The fellowship offers a Chief Nurse’s Office secondment providing development, sponsorship, mentorship and strategic project leadership, which has led to 64% of fellows securing promotion within six months of completion.

The fellowship has influenced leadership behaviours and structural processes by challenging the status quo.  Coupled with purposeful professional development conversations, fellows have encouraged greater participation in CPD among global majority colleagues, contributing to an increase in representation within one internal programme from 19% in 2017 to 59% in 2025. Now embedded as business as usual, the model is being shared nationally with organisations including NHS Blood and Transplant, with a formal university evaluation under way to support wider NHS adoption. 

Stroke Rehabilitation Programme – NHS and Football Club Foundation Partnership – London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust 

London North West University Healthcare’s Stroke Rehabilitation Programme delivers post-stroke therapy in community venues, including Watford FC and Chelsea FC Foundation facilities, rather than traditional clinics. Co-designed with stroke survivors and carers, it combines supervised physical activity, health coaching, peer support, and bilingual staff to enhance community outreach.

As a result, 95% feel confident exercising independently, 85% maintain activity at three months, and participants increase weekly physical activity by an average of 240 minutes. Many go on to support peers and lead community exercise groups. Nominated for an LNWH Staff Excellence Award by patients, the programme plans to expand across London and develop an integrated cardiac, renal, and metabolic rehabilitation model using the same community-led approach. 

Gypsy, Roma and Traveller (GRT) Engagement Project – NHS North East London Cancer Alliance 

NHS North East London Cancer Alliance trained 13 Health Champions from Roma, Irish Traveller and New Traveller communities to address cancer inequalities through peer-led outreach, working in partnership with the Friends, Families and Travellers and the Roma Support Group. Champions completed Royal Society for Public Health training alongside culturally adapted cancer awareness sessions, using their lived experience and community networks to encourage screening, support GP navigation and reduce cancer stigma. Cultural awareness training was also delivered to 90+ healthcare professionals across 12 sessions.

Evaluation showed Health Champion awareness of health services rose from 25% to 92%, confidence discussing cancer screening from 58% to 92%, and healthcare staff awareness of GRT communities increased from 5% to 56%. Early community impacts included relatives attending appointments and making healthier lifestyle choices following everyday conversations with Champions.
