The LinkGov event was chaired by Sir Muir Gray, co-director of the NHS QIPP Programme’s Right Care Workstream at the DH. He said: “Revolutionary things are happening in the NHS by individuals, not by bureaucracy. This QIPP Awards & Conference is a celebration of individuals.”
In his talk, Sir Muir said a shift in both language and thinking needs to take place in the NHS, away from hierarchies and the divisions between primary / secondary / community care, and towards concepts like ‘system’, ‘network’, ‘pathway’ and ‘programme’.
Other speakers included The Association of the British Pharmaceutical
Industry chief
executive Stephen Whitehead, who said 10% of NHS spend goes on medicines, less than most assume, and that the UK is the slowest adopter of new medicines in Europe. New medicines allow

Another speaker, Joanna Timmerman, managing director for procurement at NHS Supply Chain, explained how it aggregates wider NHS demand to get a better price for all, before delivering to individual wards or departments. She said NHS Supply Chain has got £2bn of NHS spend, when it could be £5bn. She said: “Imagine the scale, the aggregation, the immense purchasing power the NHS has – and [the NHS is] not quite optimising it.”
Nusrat Latif, chief executive of organisers LinkGov, told NHE: “The NCB will be driving QIPP delivery over the next couple
financial settlements for the NHS in the next spending round, they will probably be leading the next phase of QIPP too. QIPP has been quoted as a concept, a brand and the only show in town for a sustainable NHS; with that in mind we look forward to working with senior leaders throughout 2013 to showcase the next round of work plans from those organisations who continue to hold QIPP as part of their modus operandi, like NHS Derbyshire.”
David Hill, director of Oka- Bi, a first-time exhibitor, said afterwards: “The networking was excellent – an interesting cross section of the NHS and its suppliers. We hope to return in 2013.”
