Walking the Frontline: A low or no cost change leading to significant financial savings-Lawrence Tallon’s story

“I had two main reasons for getting involved” explained Lawrence Tallon, Director of Strategy, Planning and Performance at University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust.

“We are responsible for all the A&E services in the city. The people who most frequently present at A&E mirrors the client group of the Lead Worker Peer Mentor Service. I wanted to understand, how, if at all, we should adapt our approach to them.

“My second role is Strategy Lead for the Birmingham & Solihull Sustainability and Transformation Parternship, a partnership between the NHS and local authorities. My job is to take a forward view, with a particular focus on tackling inequality. I wanted to know what works best for engaging this group.”
