ESPAÑOLIX INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP FOR HEALTH CARE LEADERS
August 28 to September 1, 2024 | Harris Manchester College, University of Oxford | United Kingdom
Emeritus Director: Prof. Bernard Crump FRCP(UK) FFPHM MB ChB
Academic Course Director: Prof. Pedro Delgado
Directors: Prof. María Adela Contreras / Enrique Mario Schiavon MD, MHA
The University of Oxford is the oldest university in the English-speaking world and the world’s second oldest surviving university. While its exact founding date is unknown, there is evidence that teaching took place as far back as 1096.
Located in and around Oxford’s medieval city centre, the university comprises 44 colleges and halls, and over 100 libraries, making it the largest library system in the UK.
Students number around 22,000 in total, just over half of whom are undergraduates while over 40 per cent are international, representing 140 countries between them.
Called the "city of dreaming spires" by Victorian poet, Matthew Arnold, Oxford has the youngest population of any city in England and Wales: nearly a quarter of its residents are university students, which gives Oxford a noticeable buzz.
Oxford has an alumni network of over 250,000 individuals, including more than 120 Olympic medalists, 26 Nobel Prize winners, seven poets laureate, and over 30 modern world leaders (Bill Clinton, Aung San Suu Kyi, Indira Gandhi and 26 UK Prime Ministers, among them).
The university is associated with 11 winners of the Nobel Prize in chemistry, five in physics and 16 in medicine. Notable Oxford thinkers and scientists include Tim Berners-Lee, Stephen Hawking and Richard Dawkins. The actor Hugh Grant also went to Oxford, as did the writers Oscar Wilde, Graham Greene, Vikram Seth and Philip Pullman.
Oxford’s first international student, named Emo of Friesland, was enrolled in 1190, while the modern day university prides itself on having an ‘international character’ with connections to almost every country in the world and 40% of its faculty drawn from overseas.
As a modern, research-driven university, Oxford has numerous strengths but cites prowess in the sciences, having recently ranked number one in the world for medicine (Click to see ranking) (if its medical sciences division was a university in its own right, it would be the fourth largest in the UK) and among the top ten universities globally for life sciences, physical sciences, social sciences, and the arts and humanities.
This course will be held at Harris Manchester College
BACKGROUND
A programme for Latin American healthcare leaders has been held in the UK most years for the last decade, with only the Covid pandemic interrupting these. Most have been held at Harris Manchester College, University of Oxford; the University of Warwick has hosted on two occasions. This year have been admitted leaders from Latin American and the Middle East.
The programme typically begins at around 1600 on the Wednesday (in this case 30th August) allowing those who have flown in overnight to arrive and settle into their accommodation. We have three full days of programme content on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, finishing with an end of course ceremony on Saturday evening, with participants leaving on Sunday morning. Provisionally, on this occasion, we have planned to pause academic content at 1500 on Thursday so that the participants can visit another of Oxford’s historic Colleges which accepts visitors at this time.
An important feature of the programmes to date has been the opportunity for participants to showcase some of their own projects in areas relevant to the programme. They submit an abstract of a poster they may wish to present, and the Course Director and organisers choose those which will be displayed and presented. We set aside a couple of hours for the presenters to speak to their poster as others, and the judging team, circulate. Three, typically are then chosen and the presenter makes a short plenary presentation on their work to the group as whole, typically in the last formal session from 1500-1630 on the Saturday; the judges choose a winner.
We have simultaneous translation of all plenary sessions; so far this has been into Spanish alone. Whilst most attendees are knowledgeable of English, the translation can help both attendees and presenters with more technical content, and during Q&As etc.
The College is an historic building and provides a marvellous atmosphere for learning and for networking between participants. The buildings do provide some constraints, which we have worked around successfully. The foremost of these is that there are limited spaces for small group working. We have agreed with the College authorities some opportunities, for some sessions, to use additional rooms at times, so some of the sessions can feature discussion in smaller groups.

They have organized more than a hundred international courses in the United States, Spain, Costa Rica, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and the United Kingdom.
FACULTY
Contact has been made with a number of faculty contributors who would make a very valuable input on some of these topics. These include:
Prof. Michael Drummond
Mike is Professor of Health Economics. His particular field of interest is in the economic evaluation of health care treatments and programmes. He has undertaken evaluations in a wide range of medical fields including care of the elderly, neonatal intensive care, immunisation programmes, services for people with AIDS, eye health care and pharmaceuticals.
He is the author of two major textbooks and more than 700 scientific papers, has acted as a consultant to the World Health Organization and was Project Leader of a European Union Project on the Methodology of Economic Appraisal of Health Technology. He has also served on the Boards of Directors of the International Society of Technology Assessment in Health Care and the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research.

INTRODUCTION TO THE 2023 PROGRAMME
Dr. Bernard Crump MD

Healthcare across the globe has to confront a number of common challenges; Which innovations should we support? Will digital innovation deliver the benefits expected? How will countries resource the growing costs and find the necessary workforce? In this programme we will learn about solutions that are being adopted and share experiences that can shape our response to these challenges.
Our plan to date for this year had been to spend time looking at some of the key Global Challenges facing health services. Loosely, we had seen this falling into four overall categories:
- Resources, including the key resources of Finance and Workforce, with a special time to discuss Innovation centred Funding in Health Care to advance UHC
- Digital Transformation, including the potential for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning as an enabler for better outcomes for patients, discussing the data impact for identifying and measuring efficiencies through data base decision making.
- Engagement, both of service users and citizens in the design of services, and of healthcare professionals, who are not always in tune with the strategic direction being followed by the managers of their organisations, and
- Complexity, as many countries, including the UK, move to more networked governance solutions for the organisation of their health and care services, with a stronger focus on collaboration of the public and private organizations, which can lead to tension with those accountable for individual parts of the system.
OUTLINE PROGRAMME
Given the focus on finance, Prof. Bernard Crump will lead some sessions on alternative approaches to healthcare finance. He has developed case studies on two of the most interesting alternatives; the funding of healthcare in Singapore and in the Netherlands, and these would lend themselves to a case study approach with some small group learning on the lessons, and on the potential for these to inspire alternative innovations.
Given the interest in Digital Transformation Prof. Bernard Crump has materials which could be very valuable, both in exploring the potential for digital but also in exploring why it is proving so difficult to deliver digital transformation at scale. Prof. Crump leads an MBA module on Digital Innovation for the Healthcare Services.
