Since our last London Symposium, we have seen Population Health Analytics rise up the health care agenda as people realise the benefits of this approach. There is a plethora of new challenges – and opportunities – across the NHS, and a renewed will to put the patient firmly at the centre of care. We have also seen examples of how a slightly different approach can positively change health care outcomes.
This April, we’ll bring together a range of experts including GPs, commissioning managers and international colleagues from a range of health care organisations. They will be sharing their experiences of using the Johns Hopkins ACG System to create new intelligence and more importantly how turning that intelligence into action helped improve patient experience and reduce costs.
This unique event, in an iconic venue, will enable you to learn from others in a relaxed and stimulating environment.
If you are clinician or manager involved in the commissioning or delivery of services, this free event will give you valuable insight into how intelligence can be turned into action.
Please note this event is limited to public sector and voluntary organisations due to anticipated high demand.
Registration for this event is closed.

Dr. Jim O’Donnell, GP & Locality Lead, East Berkshire CCG
Dr. O’Donnell is a GP Partner at Farnham Road Practice in Slough and the Locality Lead for Slough within East Berkshire CCG. A former chair of Slough CCG and an active participant and advocate of the work being undertaken as part of the Frimley Health & Care ICS, he says, “Leading my G.P. colleagues and practices into and through Clinical Commissioning is the greatest privilege. I am determined to make the best contribution I can to the system to improve patient outcomes. How do we all become system-focused, leaving our organisation blinkers and shackles behind, putting patients first, and ensuring everyone ‘boards the bus’?”
Dr. O’Donnell qualified at the National University of Ireland, Galway in June 1978 and completed his General Practice training in Portsmouth in 1982.
He worked in tertiary referral medicine in Baghdad, Iraq from 1984 to 1988 followed by a cardiology research post in the UK at Wexham Park Hospital involving the first use of thrombolysis in acute myocardial infarction. This led to a career in the pharmaceutical industry involving novel treatments for ischaemic heart disease.
He continued as a General Practitioner, and was involved in the development of new medicines up to 1998. He then returned to full time general practice in Slough and had a key interest in clinical governance and education in primary care. From 2006 he was involved in commissioning and in 2007 became the Slough Locality Lead.
In 2008 he became Chairman of the Clinical Executive Committee at Berkshire East PCT. Dr. O’Donnell is also a member of the NHS Commissioning Board “Sounding Board” and has been involved in drawing up plans for the Commissioning Assembly.
