Insight – July 2025 - Transformation Partners in Health and Care

Insight
Your quarterly news digest from TPHC

Welcome

Welcome to edition 7 of Insight.

Almost three weeks on from the long-awaited launch of the Government’s 10 Year Health Plan for England, the three headline shifts—analogue to digital, acute to community, and treat to prevent—are already setting the tone for what’s to come.

As I shared in my recent blog, this plan isn’t just about fixing what’s broken—it’s about reimagining care for the future. We’re here to support health and care colleagues to meet that challenge by sharing proven solutions that can be scaled and sustained.

Our recent partnership with North Central London Integrated Care Board and North London Councils, which earned us an HSJ Digital Award last month, is a powerful example of what’s possible:

Analogue to digital – New technology in care homes led to 36% fewer night-time checks and a 52% increase in restful sleep for residents.

Acute to community – We helped reduce avoidable hospital admissions, enabling more people to stay in their own beds, whether at home or in care homes.

Treat to prevent – In one care home, we helped reduce falls from 9% to 0% in just four months.

In this month’s Insight, you’ll find updates from our team and the latest news and resources to help you navigate this transformative period. It includes:

What the 10-year plan means for children and young people, with a focus on preventative work to address dental inequalities in north central London
Learnings from our work supporting a client on mitigating digital exclusion while rolling out a digital first programme
Thoughts from our Head of Digital Productivity on how automation can help solve the NHS productivity crisis, and how our team can help.

We also invite you to share your views on the 10 Year Health Plan by responding to our pulse survey. Responses can be made anonymously and your insights will help us shape a future story on the plan.

We hope you enjoy the read. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you’d like to discuss any of the topics featured—or if we can support you as you adapt to the NHS’s new direction.

This work has delivered significant benefits for care home residents and staff, with:

over 1,000 residents receiving benefits such as early detection of illness or deterioration and reduced time spent in hospital.
care homes with remote monitoring experiencing a 28% reduction in ambulance call-outs and a 15.7% reduction in avoidable admissions
care homes with acoustic monitoring tools requiring 36% fewer physical checks, leading to 52% more restful sleep and helping to reduce falls.

10 Year Plan for Health in focus

Over the coming months we will continue to explore priority topics covered in the 10 Year Health Plan.

What it means for children and young people
Tooth extraction is the leading cause of hospital admissions among children aged 5 to 9 years old, yet it is almost entirely preventable. To address this, the 10-year plan sets out a focus on dentistry and its commitment to improving access to dental services.

We’ve been working with North Central London Integrated Care board to deliver a dental transformation programme that increases access to dental care in areas of higher deprivation and helps children and young people to better understand how to brush and look after their teeth.

How automation can help solve the NHS productivity crisis

The NHS can no longer afford to wait, and with the right tools it doesn’t have to. James Davies, Head of Digital Productivity at TPHC urges the NHS to adopt more automation now to boost productivity and achieve the three strategic shifts of the 10-Year Plan.

Be the first to hear about a new productivity solution that our NHS team has created to support your shift from ‘analogue to digital’, designed specifically to be cost-effective and sustainable for the health and care system.
