Konica Minolta East: working in partnershipto deliver cost efficientprint solutionsKonica Minolta East have beenproviding print, copy and scanningcapable devices to NottinghamshireHealthcare for many years and ourrelationship with the Trust hasalways been based upon apartnership, working together, asopposed to that of just a supplierand customer.

More recently, Konica Minolta wonthe Trust’s competitive tender forprint, copy and scan; againdemonstrating a continuedcommitment to working inpartnership withNottinghamshire Healthcare.

Since becoming the Trust’stender supplier we have beenassisting in the delivery of theTrust’s Print Strategy. The aimsof the Strategy are to providethe Trust’s workforce with amodern, managed, reliable, costefficient and right sized print,copy and scan fleet.

We have been engaged with theTrust in a number of activities; fromsite and department audits to fleetmanagement meetings and planningactivities. During November andDecember, last year, and January thisyear, we were working in partnership totest our technology and cost efficiencymodel within the Trust. Thisculminated in a successful ‘Proof ofConcept’ (POC) within severaldepartments, at Trust Headquarters atDuncan Macmillan House. The aims ofthis exercise were to prove that thetechnologies, use and financial savingsidentified by Konica Minolta could beintegrated in to, and realised by, theTrust.

The departments that have beeninvolved in the POC have made somesignificant savings using the solutionand their experiences will be used tosupport the wider rollout.

Elaine Hayes is Post Graduate CentreManager at Duncan Macmillan House:

“We are printing less and theproject has certainly

prompted a changein processes e.g.paperlessinvoicing. Theimpact of shared

printers was notas detrimental as

first thought andactually collecting

your printingprovides anopportunity to havea short break awayfrom the PC.

We can already see the potential costsavings due to the shared facility andprint reduction and it’s great to havethe scan to email facility.”

As ever, Konica Minolta looks forwardto continuing our commitment tosupport Nottinghamshire Healthcare inthe forthcoming year. The year aheadfor us as print partners of the Trust willbe an exciting one as we and the Trustmove forward with a planneddeployment of new equipment andtechnologies to support the PrintStrategy. This will ultimately deliver amore modern and robust fleet ofequipment for staff; whilst makingsignificant savings for the Trust.

Developing collaborationinto new services –the long game

Nottinghamshire Healthcare and BarchesterHealthcare started working together in acollaborative way in May 2008, following aworkshop attended by staff from bothorganisations.

It was agreed that by working together onspecific service developments and using theexpertise of both organisations, an improvedexperience for people and their families couldbe provided, organisational and leadershipdevelopment would be supported and bettervalue for the public purse would be ensured. Aformal Board was established to supportdifferent projects and service developments.Jointly chaired by Steph Palmerone, Directorof Strategic Initiatives at Barchester and SimonSmith, Nottinghamshire Healthcare’s ExecutiveDirector, Local Services, the Board onlyconsiders ideas and projects that can supportthe quality, innovation, productivity andprevention agenda.

Projects that have been developed include:

The project that has taken the longest to plan,but will provide a truly integrated service isthat which is being developed on the Forest sitein Mansfield. The Forest is currently beingtransformed into a 50 bed hospital for peopleaged under 65 with Working Age Dementia,alcohol related brain injury and Huntington’sDisease. The Trust and Barchester will work inpartnership to provide high quality intensiveand rehabilitative care with a focus onpersonalisation and community living.

Andrea Ward, General Manager, MentalHealth Services for Older People,Nottinghamshire Healthcare and RichardHardman, Barchester’s Director of ServiceDevelopment, have been working together tomake the idea a reality.

Andrea Ward said: “Each organisation bringssomething different to the table, which willcome together to create something special forservice users and carers. The Trust has anationally recognised expertise in Working AgeDementia developed by Tracey Wilkinson andher team. The development of the hospital andthe forthcoming appointment of a Chair indementia will allow the Trust to build on thisexpertise and develop a comprehensivepathway throughout the service user’s journey.By including services for those people withalcohol related brain injury and Huntington’sin the hospital, we hope to work with

colleagues across all sectors to develop the samequality pathways across these services.”

The new staff team at the Forest reflect theshared values of both organisations and thebenefits of true partnership. For while themanager of the site and one of the unit leaderswill be Barchester employees, the modernmatron and the other two unit leaders will beseconded from the Trust.

Commenting on the collaboration RichardHardman said: “Colleagues fromNottinghamshire Healthcare will be withBarchester for two years and during this timewill be entered onto the Barchester leadershipprogramme from which they have theopportunity to take a Masters degree. Inaddition psychiatric support, psychology,Occupational Therapy and speech and languagetherapy will be provided by the Trust on aservice level agreement.
