Focus on Ambulance Leadership Forum 2016 LEADERSHIP THE KEY AT ALF 2016 A sense of optimism at a time of great challenges for the urgent and emergency care system merged with the resounding message that UK NHS ambulance services will need stronger leadership than ever to survive and thrive in the future, were two of the key themes to emerge from the highly successful Ambulance Leadership Forum (ALF) 2016 held in February. The event - produced annually by the Association of Ambulance Chief Executives (AACE) - is now the major place for senior ambulance staff and their colleagues in industry and from across the wider NHS and academic landscapes to meet, network and discuss the topics that are topping the agenda for today’s UK ambulance service leaders. ALF 2016 was held in Leicester and attracted over two hundred delegates over the two days, drawn from all UK NHS ambulance services and their key partners from across the health sector. The first day saw a busy series of conference presentations that sparked some lively debates across the floor. Chair of the conference – award-winning BBC and Channel 4 journalist Liz MacKean - was able to persuade the participants to provide insight and share knowledge and ideas on a range of ambulance management topics. Never far from the debate, though, was the spectre of the unprecedented and growing demand for ambulance services, combined with the stark reality of the genuine pressures being felt throughout the whole urgent and emergency care system. Spring 2016 | Ambulancetoday Prof. Paresh Wankhade, one of the main speakers. Professor Keith Willet discussed this in detail and outlined what NHS England are doing to combat these issues, while simultaneously urging ambulance leaders to be brave and to adopt innovative approaches to managing their resources. Privately some audience members may have been forgiven for wondering how much more they could do and how much faster they could go to implement changes, although the mood in the room remained upbeat and Professor Willet was, as always, a most welcome and informative speaker. Regrettably, the Secretary of State Jeremy Hunt was a last minute cancellation and the audience was instead played a recorded message from Lord Prior of Brampton, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for NHS Productivity (Minister responsible for Urgent and Emergency Care) who thanked ambulance services for the hard work being done to continue to save lives and treat patients in such challenging times. The evening saw a magnificent gala dinner - kindly sponsored by the ALF AACE Chair Anthony Marsh thanks outgoing NWAS Chief Bob Williams 2016 main sponsor Ferno ® - where the AACE Outstanding Service Awards were presented to high performing staff from across England. Two other features of the evening were a charity auction that raised over £1,000 in aid of The Ambulance Services Charity (TASC - www.theAsc.org.uk) and an amusing and light-hearted send-off by AACE chair Anthony Marsh for North West Ambulance Service Chief Executive Officer Bob Williams who is retiring after 36 years in the NHS. Day two provided a series of workshops where the topics were as follows: ‘Our Workforce,’ ‘Technological and Digital Enablement’ and ‘Vanguards and Innovation.’ These workshops sparked more healthy debates and delegates left with new ideas and renewed vigour to take back to their trusts. The event finished with meetings of the national groups. A full report on ALF2016 and the full workshop presentation slides are available at: AACE.org.uk/ambulance-leadershipforum 75 3
