GOSH DRIVE

🎉 This month marks 5-years of digital innovation at GOSH 🎉 To reflect on our impact so far, we've published a new report packed with information, case studies and some great photos, of course! In 2018, our secure digital research environment launched across GOSH and University College London. This set the foundation for the Data Research, Innovation and Virtual Environments unit. Since then, we've completed more than 300 projects! Find out more in our report https://buff.ly/45ImyLe

Meet our CIRP PhD students! ✨🎓 In the first instalment of our new ‘Get to Know’ series, we sit down with Anne Alarilla, a PhD student being supported by our Clinical Informatics Research Programme (CIRP) at GOSH DRIVE. CIRP was established to support clinical informatics research at GOSH in partnership with Higher Education Institutes across the UK and has supported 27 PhD projects to date 👩🔬 Our goal is to help develop the use of data and technology to transform delivery of care, for the benefit of patients at GOSH and the wider NHS. Anne is based at UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health and has been working with us for a year and a half. Her project looks at how we can make better use of Patient Report Outcome Measures (or PROMS) at GOSH. Watch the video below to find out a bit more about Anne and what she’s been working on!  You can find out more about CIRP on our website: goshdrive.com/academia

Last week we had the pleasure of attending the Roche Innovation Day event 🙌 GOSH has an ongoing collaboration with Roche UK, which aims to advance our data science capabilities and enable more personalised care for patients. We enjoyed the opportunity to present posters on 3 exciting data science projects we have been working on, which use a type of AI called Natural Language Processing (NLP). The NLP pipelines we have developed can securely and rapidly scan through PDF reports and present the relevant information in a way that is easy for clinicians and researchers to use to improve care. A process that would otherwise take an expert weeks or months to complete! ⌛ So far, we have successfully tested these techniques to three clinical areas, showing the potential for significant time savings: 🧬 Genomics ❤️ Cardiology MRI 🔬 Histopathology All projects undertaken within the partnership are conducted within GOSH DRIVE’s secure digital research infrastructure. No patient data is shared between the organisations or outside of GOSH. The event also gave us the opportunity to hear from other organisations, Roche teams from across the globe and delve into the importance of collaboration in healthcare advancements.

Join the PHEMS Meet-Up Series! 🙌 GOSH is one of six leading European paediatric hospitals that make up the #PHEMS project. The project aim is to overcome important barriers that currently hinder collaboration on health data between different countries, by developing a decentralised health data ecosystem. 🌐 This will revolutionise how paediatric health data is managed and used across Europe while ensuring patient’s rights and data privacy remain protected. 🔒

Introducing you to our new Service Manager Nadlyn 👋    Nadlyn has over ten years NHS operational management experience, including project management, service transformation, leading teams and improving outcomes for patients.    She has worked for a number of NHS Trusts ranging from the implementation of the Tele-Dermatology Service at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, to streamlining the skin cancer pathway and improving utilisation for the Plastic Urgent Care Centre at Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust.    She is committed to the continuous improvement of quality outcomes and experience for patients.     “I am excited to be taking on my new role at DRIVE and look forward to facilitating and participating in new and innovative ways to improve treatment and care for young patients” - Nadlyn.    Join us in congratulating Nadlyn and welcoming her to the team in the comments below 👇

As an Intelligent Research Hospital, GOSH has a legacy of leading cutting-edge research with our partners. 🚀 In this article, Professor Andrew Taylor, Director of Innovation at GOSH talks about our exciting research partnership with TORTUS and the great potential that Artificial Intelligence holds for supporting our clinicians and improving care for our patients. ✨ “Our vision is to change the way that we use data and technology to improve the outcomes and experience for children and young people and their families, and better support healthcare staff. We have built an exceptional team with a broad range of expertise, but we know that when we work in collaboration, we can achieve even more.” Intelligent Health.tech #PaediatricInnovation #HealthcareInnovation #NHSInnovation #ArtificialIntelligence #partnership https://lnkd.in/ezx3nha5

Say hello to our new team member Jaskaran Singh Kawatra 👋    Jaskaran joins the GOSH DRIVE team as a Machine Learning Engineer.     Jaskaran holds an MSc in Computing Science from the University of Glasgow and has experience in Natural Language Processing (NLP), specifically deploying Large Language Models (LLMs) and smaller language models in resource constrained environments. He also has experience in building Machine Learning infrastructure both on premise and cloud to support AI capabilities within an organisation. His interests lie in being able to use advancements in NLP and Computer Vision to deploy ethical and effective healthcare solutions to augment human decision making.     His role at DRIVE will initially involve building the machine learning pipelines for DRIVE's NLP projects and working on deliverables as part of our NHS-Industry collaboration with Roche.    Welcome to the team Jaskaran! We look forward to working with you 🎉

Did you know? Patients at research-active hospitals have better outcomes, more confidence in their care, and feel more informed - even if they don't participate in studies themselves! 🏥🔬 At Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), we see research making life-changing differences daily for the children and young people in our care. For those with rare or complex diseases, increased investment in #ChildHealthResearch is crucial to their care and future. Professor Sir Terence Stephenson, Co-Lead of our NIHR (National Institute for Health and Care Research) Great Ormond Street Hospital Biomedical Research Centre Career Development Academy, recently addressed this research need in the Global Paediatrics Journal. Curious about the future of paediatric research? 🤔 Read a summary of Professor Stephenson's reflections in our recent article ⬇️ #AcademicMedicine #HealthcareInnovation #NIHRResearch Alt text: A GOSH scientist in a lab coat working with samples using a centrifuge machine in the Zayed Centre for Research into Rare Disease in Children (#ZCR), with fellow scientists in the background.

Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) is a standardised way of recording physical characteristics that are linked to disease, and holds exciting potential for disease discovery and diagnosis 🧬 It was a pleasure to host the insightful day of talks and discussions at the #GOSHDRIVE unit. Thank you to all of the brilliant speakers and to everyone that attended! #ClinicalInnovation #HealthcareInnovation #HPO #HumanPhenotypeOntology

Meet the GOSH DRIVE Innovation Officers! 🌟 Today we are introducing you to our newly appointed Innovation Officer Emer O'Reilly. Emer is a Clinical Research Physiotherapist at GOSH. "As a Clinical Research Physiotherapist, my work spans clinical care and research around patient outcomes. Data-driven care is a large part of this role, so working with the Innovation team is an exciting opportunity to not only harness data for improvements to healthcare, but also to optimise workflows and systems. As an Innovation Officer I am excited to contribute to the GOSH DRIVE team and Clinical Intelligence Unit to further bridge the gap between data and clinical care to support the delivery of efficient patient-centred care at GOSH." #GOSHDRIVE Innovation Officers act as ambassadors for innovation and help to bridge the gap between the DRIVE data teams and clinical and operational teams in the hospital, helping DRIVE to understand the needs of the hospital and develop new tools to support staff and patients 📊👩⚕️ The Innovation Officers were onboarded as part of our ongoing collaboration with Roche to identify better ways to care for children and young people with rare and complex diseases. Welcome to the team Emer! You can find out more about our Innovation Officers on our website: https://lnkd.in/g9r4-UmR #HealthInnovation #ClinicalAnalytics #OperationalAnalytics #PaediatricInnovation
