UK health chiefs have underlined the need to protect a treasure trove of medical data as the industry embarks on a new digital era, amid the growing threat posed by cyber criminals to hospitals and their patients.
Speaking at the Arab Health conference in Dubai, senior NHS officials said there was huge potential in vast amounts of data mined in UK hospitals and clinics, every day.
Health data could be used to improve patient care, and the way they interact with treatments and medications, while also helping hospitals operate with greater efficiency.
Health care is an area where when you do your job well, someone else's life is better - If we get it right for them, it really is life changing
Matthew Trainer,
NHS Trust chief executive
“Our inability to transfer data is a problem to us and continues to be a problem,” said Ged Byrne, NHS director of global health and a surgical oncologist.
“We have 76 years of unfiltered data for the largest and oldest universal health public system in history. The amount of data that could potentially be useful if cleaned is limitless, and could potentially have a very positive impact on world health. That is for shaping healthcare response, pathway spend and governance. We've got data on just about everything you can possibly think of. It's genuinely big and extraordinary.”
Data-sharing challenges
Challenges include how to store huge volumes of data, and share it securely with other health systems around the world, including the UAE.
Cyber attacks on health systems have impacted millions of patients around the world in recent years, leaking sensitive information from names and social security numbers, to credit card numbers, medical data and sensitive clinical information.
In June last year, NHS England confirmed patient data was stolen in a ransomware attack by a Russian cyber criminal group. More than 3,000 hospitals and GP surgeries were disrupted as criminals attempted to extort money from the pathology testing company contract by the NHS, Synnovis.
“We're doing a million interactions over 16 hours, and our ability to record that in the data is improving, but sharing data is the issue,” Prof Byrne told The National.
“We have not yet developed a safe mechanism which satisfies all parties. There needs to be a much clearer set of standards against which we share data – that's really important, to understand how we leverage that data.”
UK-UAE collaboration
Medical tourism is a major aspect of the UAE's health industry. UK health institutions view the UAE and wider GCC as prime locations to establish outposts of existing hospitals and clinics.
London’s Kings College Hospital has a gleaming centre in Dubai Hills, while Moorfields Eye Hospital also has centres in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
NHS leaders were in the UAE during Arab Health to discuss further collaboration and sharing of innovation, including the greater use of advanced technology.
AI can bring efficiencies
Ayub Bhayat, director of data services and deputy chief data and analytics officer at NHS England, said the use of AI will process the data to speed up care, cut waiting times and find new ways to deliver existing drugs for several conditions.
“We're on a journey to organise all the data assets into one repository, so AI will then do the heavy lifting, making clinicians’ lives easier to focus on the really important stuff,” Mr Bhayat said.
Mr Bhayat was responsible for the largest non-clinical procurement in NHS history – the £330 million ($410 million) Federated Data Platform – and is now leading the strategy of data transformation for the NHS.
The platform is being used to resolve common problems facing the NHS such as elective waiting lists and hospital capacity. It is being used by 71 NHS organisations.
AI can maximise availability in operating theatres, by prioritising patients based on their clinical data. In each hospital where it is used, doctors are seeing 119 extra patients a month, Mr Bhayat said.
Drug discovery is another area due to benefit from improved AI systems and data collection. By locating the right patients for the right trials, it is hoped AI can find wider suitability for certain medicines.
A vaccine for shingles, anti-inflammatory drug Ibuprofen and some antiviral drugs have been found to potentially delay the onset of dementia, in early research.
“These models can be run at speed as well to understand the impact of that drug,” said Mr Bhayat. “Since we've implemented this data platform, there's been a 54,000 additional surgeries taking place – that’s just using existing capacity of existing people. As we get more and more sophisticated, Generative AI will see the models start to self learn even more.”
Staffing and the global health workforce was another topic for discussion with NHS leaders during Arab Health. A long-standing global health worker shortage has gathered pace since the pandemic.
Global workforce shortage
In the US, hospitals heavily rely on foreign workers, with more than 2.6 million immigrants working in healthcare roles.
Meanwhile in the UK, Filipino workers make up 27 per cent of healthcare staff. A shortfall of 10 million health workers worldwide has been predicted by the WHO by 2030, with one in five nurses considering leaving the profession in the UK, Canada, the US, France and Belgium.
Matthew Trainer, chief executive of Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust (BHRUT), employs more than 8,000 staff. At Arab Health, he told The National that competition has made recruitment harder.
“Internationally, we all have the same set of challenges; the ageing population and workforce,” Mr Trainer said. “The pandemic has been a challenge because people have seen what it's like to work at the very sharp end of acute healthcare, and that was a very difficult phase for everybody.
“What we still see coming through in our newer recruits is people are attracted to the values of the NHS, particularly a younger workforce. Health care is an area where when you do your job well, someone else's life is better. If we get it right for them, it really is life-changing.”

Tailors and retailers miss out on back-to-school rush
Tailors and retailers across the city said it was an ominous start to what is usually a busy season for sales.
With many parents opting to continue home learning for their children, the usual rush to buy school uniforms was muted this year.
“So far we have taken about 70 to 80 orders for items like shirts and trousers,” said Vikram Attrai, manager at Stallion Bespoke Tailors in Dubai.
“Last year in the same period we had about 200 orders and lots of demand.
“We custom fit uniform pieces and use materials such as cotton, wool and cashmere.
“Depending on size, a white shirt with logo is priced at about Dh100 to Dh150 and shorts, trousers, skirts and dresses cost between Dh150 to Dh250 a piece.”
A spokesman for Threads, a uniform shop based in Times Square Centre Dubai, said customer footfall had slowed down dramatically over the past few months.
“Now parents have the option to keep children doing online learning they don’t need uniforms so it has quietened down.”

Quick pearls of wisdom
Focus on gratitude: And do so deeply, he says. “Think of one to three things a day that you’re grateful for. It needs to be specific, too, don’t just say ‘air.’ Really think about it. If you’re grateful for, say, what your parents have done for you, that will motivate you to do more for the world.”
Know how to fight: Shetty married his wife, Radhi, three years ago (he met her in a meditation class before he went off and became a monk). He says they’ve had to learn to respect each other’s “fighting styles” – he’s a talk it-out-immediately person, while she needs space to think. “When you’re having an argument, remember, it’s not you against each other. It’s both of you against the problem. When you win, they lose. If you’re on a team you have to win together.”

How the UAE gratuity payment is calculated now
Employees leaving an organisation are entitled to an end-of-service gratuity after completing at least one year of service.
The tenure is calculated on the number of days worked and does not include lengthy leave periods, such as a sabbatical. If you have worked for a company between one and five years, you are paid 21 days of pay based on your final basic salary. After five years, however, you are entitled to 30 days of pay. The total lump sum you receive is based on the duration of your employment.
1. For those who have worked between one and five years, on a basic salary of Dh10,000 (calculation based on 30 days):
a. Dh10,000 ÷ 30 = Dh333.33. Your daily wage is Dh333.33
b. Dh333.33 x 21 = Dh7,000. So 21 days salary equates to Dh7,000 in gratuity entitlement for each year of service. Multiply this figure for every year of service up to five years.
2. For those who have worked more than five years
c. 333.33 x 30 = Dh10,000. So 30 days’ salary is Dh10,000 in gratuity entitlement for each year of service.
Note: The maximum figure cannot exceed two years total salary figure.

Mercer, the investment consulting arm of US services company Marsh & McLennan, expects its wealth division to at least double its assets under management (AUM) in the Middle East as wealth in the region continues to grow despite economic headwinds, a company official said.
Mercer Wealth, which globally has $160 billion in AUM, plans to boost its AUM in the region to $2-$3bn in the next 2-3 years from the present $1bn, said Yasir AbuShaban, a Dubai-based principal with Mercer Wealth.
“Within the next two to three years, we are looking at reaching $2 to $3 billion as a conservative estimate and we do see an opportunity to do so,” said Mr AbuShaban.
Mercer does not directly make investments, but allocates clients’ money they have discretion to, to professional asset managers. They also provide advice to clients.
“We have buying power. We can negotiate on their (client’s) behalf with asset managers to provide them lower fees than they otherwise would have to get on their own,” he added.
Mercer Wealth’s clients include sovereign wealth funds, family offices, and insurance companies among others.
From its office in Dubai, Mercer also looks after Africa, India and Turkey, where they also see opportunity for growth.
Wealth creation in Middle East and Africa (MEA) grew 8.5 per cent to $8.1 trillion last year from $7.5tn in 2015, higher than last year’s global average of 6 per cent and the second-highest growth in a region after Asia-Pacific which grew 9.9 per cent, according to consultancy Boston Consulting Group (BCG). In the region, where wealth grew just 1.9 per cent in 2015 compared with 2014, a pickup in oil prices has helped in wealth generation.
BCG is forecasting MEA wealth will rise to $12tn by 2021, growing at an annual average of 8 per cent.
Drivers of wealth generation in the region will be split evenly between new wealth creation and growth of performance of existing assets, according to BCG.
Another general trend in the region is clients’ looking for a comprehensive approach to investing, according to Mr AbuShaban.
“Institutional investors or some of the families are seeing a slowdown in the available capital they have to invest and in that sense they are looking at optimizing the way they manage their portfolios and making sure they are not investing haphazardly and different parts of their investment are working together,” said Mr AbuShaban.
Some clients also have a higher appetite for risk, given the low interest-rate environment that does not provide enough yield for some institutional investors. These clients are keen to invest in illiquid assets, such as private equity and infrastructure.
“What we have seen is a desire for higher returns in what has been a low-return environment specifically in various fixed income or bonds,” he said.
“In this environment, we have seen a de facto increase in the risk that clients are taking in things like illiquid investments, private equity investments, infrastructure and private debt, those kind of investments were higher illiquidity results in incrementally higher returns.”
The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, one of the largest sovereign wealth funds, said in its 2016 report that has gradually increased its exposure in direct private equity and private credit transactions, mainly in Asian markets and especially in China and India. The authority’s private equity department focused on structured equities owing to “their defensive characteristics.”

'THE WORST THING YOU CAN EAT'
Trans fat is typically found in fried and baked goods, but you may be consuming more than you think.
Powdered coffee creamer, microwave popcorn and virtually anything processed with a crust is likely to contain it, as this guide from Mayo Clinic outlines:
Baked goods - Most cakes, cookies, pie crusts and crackers contain shortening, which is usually made from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. Ready-made frosting is another source of trans fat.
Snacks - Potato, corn and tortilla chips often contain trans fat. And while popcorn can be a healthy snack, many types of packaged or microwave popcorn use trans fat to help cook or flavour the popcorn.
Fried food - Foods that require deep frying — french fries, doughnuts and fried chicken — can contain trans fat from the oil used in the cooking process.
Refrigerator dough - Products such as canned biscuits and cinnamon rolls often contain trans fat, as do frozen pizza crusts.
Creamer and margarine - Nondairy coffee creamer and stick margarines also may contain partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.
