1:30-1:55pm: We will be joined by Tony Kelly, National Speciality Advisor for Maternal and Neonatal Programme at NHS England to advise on Managing system deterioration effectively: don’t try to fix the wrong thing!

Tony will present an oversight of the complexity of managing deterioration within perinatal services, focusing on where care failures contribute to poor clinical outcomes. Tony will highlight how we can sometimes focus on simple technical interventions in a bid to solve complex problems, often ignoring the impact of culture within these care settings; he will focus on how we need to combine both improvement and cultural approaches to ensure care improves. 

Tony is the National Speciality Advisor for the Maternity and Neonatal Programme in NHS England, has been working at national level since 2016 and has gained experience working with a range of stakeholders across the whole of the perinatal system. Tony has led and supported programmes of work that cover the development of the new national maternity early warning score tool and the national culture and leadership programme. Previously he was the Director of the Patient Safety Collaborative in the KSS Academic Health Science Network for two years. Prior to this Tony worked in a regional capacity on quality improvement for a number of years. From 2010 to 2014 he was the Associate Medical Director for Quality and Innovation at Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust. Tony has worked in the field of clinical effectiveness and quality improvement for over 25 years, and specifically within safety and quality for the last 15 years. Tony is a clinician at heart and has been a Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist at University Hospitals Sussex in Brighton since 2003. He is one of several obstetricians providing high risk intrapartum care. Tony is a passionate cook and enjoys entertaining and travelling and takes his frustrations out on both the golf course and his ageing knees when running.
