Primary care will look very different in the near future. Once GP resources are integrated with community services a new model will place health and wellbeing in one continuous spectrum.Our system, ROVA, is the first Community Services Platform built in the UK. It hosts hundreds of community groups already, offering opportunities as diverse as smoking cessation, mindfulness, healthy eating, cookery classes, exercise groups and many more. ROVA is an adaptable solution, designed and built over four years. It is now ready to support a new vision of community care that will sustain the NHS for many years to come.

In order to drive sustainable wellness and long-term condition management, patients need to be at the centre of an integrated care pathway, empowered with appropriate access and incentives to manage their own care. This project will assess the feasibility of implementing personal healthcare records, care provider communications and approval processes on to a private Blockchain. Current processes and data flows will be reviewed, improved and converted to Blockchain solution standards. A working prototype will be created and tested to evidence technical feasibility. A short and long term cost benefit analysis will be undertaken, and ability to deliver at scale assessed.

GP services are failing to effectively educate musculoskeletal patients about the importance of self-managing their long-term conditions. Perhaps this is not surprising as research has shown that many patients immediately forget 40-80% of the information discussed in their appointments. MSKnote's new software (Stipo) allows GPs to easily provide each of their musculoskeletal patients with the information discussed in their appointment in engaging text and video formats along with features to access further information, other health-related services and remote reviewing.Stipo aims to improve a patients ability to self-manage, reduce demands on GP/ musculoskeletal services and create significant cost savings.
