Oxford University Hospitals, with circa 14000 employees, is one of the largest healthcare providers in England. It offers secondary, tertiary and quaternary to the people of Oxfordshire, the Thames Valley and beyond with a million patient contacts each year. The Covid-19 pandemic exposed healthcare teams to novel challenges that required changes to their practice. This has been the most volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) times in healthcare. Following the experience at Oxford University Hospitals, Dr. Meghana Pandit, Chief Medical Officer at Oxford University Hospitals, will describe the critical factors that support leaders to respond to VUCA situations. Dr. Pandit will describe actions that make healthcare organisations more resilient and innovative and talk about the next steps to recovery of clinical care and of its workforce. During a panel discussion, Dr. Fung-Kee-Fung will discuss how this resonates with the Champlain Regional Cancer Care strategy.
