What Norway Can Teach the NHS About Patient Flow

Across the NHS, patient flow is struggling because demand and care pathways now operate system-wide, while operational flow is still often managed locally through fragmented processes and disconnected systems. Hospitals depend on many digital systems, but patient care and day-to-day operations rely on how well those systems work together.

Leading healthcare systems such as Norway have taken a different approach. They do not treat patient flow purely as a hospital challenge, but as a real-time coordination challenge spanning the entire care pathway.

Come listen to Paul Hinchley present What Norway Can Teach the NHS About Patient Flow where he explores how connecting people, workflows and operational data improve coordination, unlock capacity and support safer, more efficient care delivery.
