JADECARE

Health Services Research UK Conference 2023
2023-07-04 - 2023-07-06 | University of Birmingham, Teaching & Learning Building | Edgbaston, Birmingham, B15 2TT, United Kingdom
The Health Services Research UK’s 16th annual conference will be held from 4 to 6 July 2023 in person at the University of Birmingham. For those who are unable to join in person, it will be offering an online option allowing access to the conference platform and on-demand content.
The conference committee is developing an exciting programme with high quality speakers from across the UK, covering key issues for the HSR community. There will be some great plenary sessions, practical and interactive workshops, HSR learning and development sessions and the opportunity as always to showcase and discuss your research.
The aging population, with the growing burden of chronic conditions and multimorbidity, is constantly increasing the demand for more comprehensive, efficient and smarter personalized care delivery based on innovative solutions. For this reason, the transformation of health systems in Europe with the design, development and implementation of innovative digital solutions, ensuring systems’ sustainability is highly needed.
In this framework, JADECARE, the EU funded “Joint Action on digitally enabled integrated person-centred care”, aims to contribute to innovative, efficient and sustainable health systems providing expertise to assist the European Countries in undertaking health system reforms. It intends to support the transformation of health systems by successfully addressing the transfer and adoption of four “original Good Practices” (oGPs) to 21 other settings of “Next Adopters” (NAs).
JADECARE involves partners from 16 European countries holding different levels of penetration, adoption and maturity of integrated care, providing a complete scenario of different idiosyncrasies. The project started on October 1st, 2020 and ends on September 30th, 2023.
The challenge of this JA is to transfer innovations that have proven to be successful to heterogeneous and complex healthcare environments by adapting the practices to be transferred to the local needs, situation, capabilities, resources, plans, strategies and current implementations of the NAs.
For this reason, great focus has been dedicated to the preparation of the local environments. During the pre-implementation phase the 21 NAs identified more than 150 needs and defined 64 interventions and action plans that will target more than 4 million inhabitants.

Health Services Research UK (HSR UK) is dedicated to the promotion of health services research in policy and practice. The annual conference is open to everyone interested in health and care services and systems research, both based in the UK and internationally, and offers you the opportunity to:

Engage with cutting-edge research. The programme is multi-disciplinary, with a wide range of research presentations and interactive workshops selected for their importance and impact, alongside plenaries from key opinion leaders in research, policy and practice.
Build your networks and hear from the agenda-setters. Throughout the three day event and on our interactive conference platform you will have the chance to build your networks across research, policy and practice communities, form new collaborations, and engage with influencers and decision makers.
Present your own research to the widest possible audience. Participants attend from universities and research institutes, research funding agencies, government, NHS and social care bodies, key peer reviewed journals, industry, consultancy, and the third sector.

Epidemiology for planning the future - Joint Portuguese-Spanish Epidemiology Congress 2023
2023-09-05 08:00 - 2023-09-08 17:00 (Europe/Berlin) | Porto, Portugal, Instituto de Ciências Biomédicas Abel Salazar (ICBAS) R. Jorge de Viterbo Ferreira 228, Porto, 4050-313, Portugal
Epidemiology for planning the future:
XLI Annual Scientific Meeting of the Spanish Society of Epidemiology (SEE) and the XVIII Congress of the Portuguese Association of Epidemiology (APE)
Preliminary Congress Programme incl. registration information
JADECARE’s accepted contribution is titled: Evaluation of the Impact of Joint Actions on Decision-Making in Public Health: A Scoping Review (Speaker: José María Castellano García, Agència de Qualitat i Avaluació Sanitàries de Catalunya – AQuAS)
Background/Objectives: Joint Actions (JA) are a financing instrument under the EU Health Programme that involves the participation of various member states to implement priority actions. Evaluating the impact of any initiative funded by public funds is important for accountability, but it can be challenging. The objectives of this study were to determine the approaches and impact evaluation methodologies used in JAs in public health and to identify the facilitators and obstacles to impact on public policies.
Methods: A rapid scoping review of the last 20 years was conducted, identifying a total of 19 articles on JAs in the Pubmed/Medline (n=13) and Google Scholar (n=6) databases. Additionally, the websites of finished public health JAs (n=40) from 2003 to 2022 were reviewed through the European Commission website.
Results: The results show that, in general, the articles focus more on the project results rather than its impact. The projects that show impact mostly use qualitative evaluation approaches, such as Delphi techniques, interviews with expert groups, consensus exercises, and opinions, rather than standardized quantitative data analysis and indicators. The facilitators for their impact on public policy include articles that provide clear and evidence-based results and evaluation approaches that consider the viewpoints of different stakeholders. The obstacles include less attention to the impact rather than project content, a huge variety of evaluation frameworks, and many qualitative-based approaches.
Conclusions/Recommendations: Efforts should be made to evaluate the impact of projects through data analysis and evaluation that takes into account all project stakeholders. This would allow for clearer and more precise results and ensure greater impact on public health policies.

NEW: “Health systems in crisis: Countering shockwaves and fatigue (dedicated Eurohealth Journal Edition)
JADECARE Consortium Article: Accelerating the path to digitally-enabled integrated care in Europe

About the conference: Health systems in Europe were facing significant problems pre-COVID, from underfunded primary and social care to workforce shortages and inequities in access to care, while addressing growing challenges such as ageing populations and the rise in non-communicable diseases. The ensuing permacrisis – including an ongoing pandemic, the war in Ukraine, the cost-of-living crisis, and the climate emergency – have only exacerbated the situation, stretching health systems, and in particular the health and care workforce, to their limits. Many workers have lost their lives, while others have suffered fatigue, exhaustion, and burnout. Join the conference to discuss how to ride out the current shockwaves and explore how crises can help catalyse the development of new approaches to health system problems. Together, let´s co-create long-term sustainable solutions that support health and well-being!

Join us onsite or virtual and get ready to be inspired by some of the leading voices in the healthcare industry as they share their insights and expertise during the hybrid conference.

16th European Public Health Conference 2023: Our Food, Our Health, Our Earth: A Sustainable Future for Humanity
2023-11-08 - 2023-11-11 | Convention Centre Dublin, Spencer Dock, N Wall Quay, North Dock, Dublin 1, Dublin, D01 T1W6, Ireland
Our Food, Our Health, Our Earth : A Sustainable Future for Humanity
Over the next decade we will all make choices which will determine the future of our advanced technological society. The COVID-19 and monkeypox pandemics, through which the world is now living, are as graphic an example as could be desired of the instability of our model of life, and the need for action on One Health. In Europe, we have paid a high price for our belief that we were safe from infection, that we could dismantle our public health systems, and get away with it. Other countries to whom COVID-19 spread from Europe have suffered more, and paid even higher prices.
We have now run out of road on climate emergency. 2021 was the warmest year on record, and 2022 and 2023 are likely to beat that record. The global climate is changing rapidly. Building a future, any kind of future, for us and for our children, demands a new attention to sustainability. It’s tempting to despair, to give up. Let’s not.
This conference hopes to open up part of this discussion, with a focus on health, and health care. We will look specifically at gender and health, at health care delivery generally, the use of digital tools, and the necessary staffing and skills to provide good care. We will, in line with the overall conference theme, look in depth at the climate emergency, and very specifically at the human food supply. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine poses serious risks to global food security that will require a range of responses from governments and international organizations. The unfolding crisis in Ukraine will push up already-high food price inflation, and have serious consequences for low-income net-food importing countries, many of which have seen an increase in malnourishment rates over the past few years in the face of pandemic disruptions. The Ukraine conflict not only exposes the evil of the current Russian government, but also our failure to create a resilient sustainable global food supply. We can do better, and we have to do better.
We look forward to seeing you all in person, in Dublin. Dublin is well known as a literary city, but our long history of public health in Ireland is less well known. These two elements of our history intersect strikingly in one man, William Wilde, society doctor, hospital founder, apprentice to Abraham Colles, husband to Jane Elgee, herself better known as ‘Speranza’, the poet of revolution, father to Oscar Wilde, who needs no introduction, and Willy, an alcoholic and a journalist. Sir William, as he became, wrote extensively on eye surgery, Irish antiquities, Irish folklore, and on the health of the Irish population. You may yet have a chance to discover his city, in all its brightness and darkness, as well as learning something more about making and sustaining our futures.
