Jay Banerjee Consultancy Ltd
Director
Acknowledged internationally as an expert in emergency care for older people, Jay has been at the forefront of developing Geriatric Emergency Medicine in the UK through collaborations, leadership, teaching and research.
Jay has applied his learning and expertise in improvement as an alumnus of The Health Foundation (UK) and Institute for Healthcare Improvement (USA). He is also a qualified coach with a Diploma in Coach mentorship to European Practitioner level and utilises this approach to supervise, mentor and support staff to deliver clinical effectiveness and quality improvement.
Jay has collaborated on local, national and international initiatives to develop best practice guidance, evidence-based practice and major publications that have influenced healthcare policy and practice in the English NHS and elsewhere. He helped set up the UK’s first Emergency Frailty Unit, the country’s first “frailty friendly” emergency department and training curriculum for Geriatric Emergency Medicine and prehospital frailty to improve person-centred care of older people living with frailty and dementia. This has been a labour of love with continuous personal learning, despite the challenges in an over-stretched health system.
Jay is a clinical academic with an NHS contract, a Honorary Professor in Emergency Care and a Visiting Professor in Safety Sciences. He has been a co-applicant on successful health services delivery and research grants, teaches on a master’s course in quality improvement and co-supervises PhD students. He has collaborated with colleagues across the world and published widely, and peer-reviewed journal papers, research grants and university promotions. He led the multi-disciplinary group in the UK that produced the Silver Book (2012), edited the Silver Book II (international version, 2021) and chaired the multi-national group for developing the “standard older person’s outcomes dataset” (International Consortium for Health Outcome Measurement). More recently, having done his LLM dissertation on the role of systemic and human factors in the judicial deliberation of gross negligence manslaughter, Jay has developed a framework for clinical decision making to support defensible medical practice. He also led on developing and delivering the "Non-technical skills for leadership" and medicolegal modules for NHS England's national Patient Safety Course with colleagues from Loughborough University, HSSIB and NHS Resolution.
