Dr Tom Monks puzzles the opportunities and pitfalls of modelling large parts of the health care system and how this might help patients waiting to leave hospital.
I work as a modeller for CLAHRC Wessex. In part that means I spend a lot of time speaking to health care professionals and commissioners about their priorities and teasing out if modelling could help. More and more often I am asked “can we model the whole health care system?”.

It’s the end of our first year in CLAHRC Wessex, we have been thinking about our progress in involving patients and the public in our work (or PPI as it’s called), and reviewing where our focus should be for the coming year. We have settled on five strategic aims:
Develop our capacity for patient and public involvement (PPI) in research and implementation programmes
Promote our CLAHRC Wessex activities to the wider public (public engagement)
Evolve and measure ways to include patients and the public to identify research priorities
Develop a group of patient and public researchers
Measure the impact of patient and public involvement within CLAHRC Wessex
