How are healthcare systems looking differently at their population to deliver better care and what does this mean for future decision-making? How might the NHS re-imagine the hospital? What benefits can we expect from novel technologies, and can the NHS develop system resilience to improve healthcare outcomes?
Dr Phil Webb (Chief Executive of Respiratory Innovation Wales) joined Tom Clarke (Director, Mtech Access) to explore all this and more in our live webinar on Friday 17th September. This episode explored specific examples of how the Welsh Healthcare System is pushing itself to better care for the people it serves and where the obstacles to delivering change lie.
In our September #WhispersWordsofWisdom webinar, Tom Clarke was joined by Dr Phil Webb to explore how NHS healthcare systems are looking differently at their population and how they deliver care. Re-imagining the hospital, investing in novel technologies, and developing system resilience to improve healthcare outcomes were all discussed.
Phil also shared specific examples of change in the Welsh Healthcare System. As Chief Executive of Respiratory Innovation Wales, Phil has a remit for re-imagining care for people across Wales. He previously held roles within the Welsh Healthcare System responsible for Innovation and Service Development, and has commissioned services at national and local levels. Also having worked in Industry, Phil’s academic background includes health economics, epidemiology, statistics, and a doctorate in molecular biology.
As such, we were interested to hear Phil’s perspective on everything from driving innovation in the NHS to the obstacles facing NHS systems, and how Pharma and Medtech can best help. This webinar is a must-see for anyone with an interest in how care systems are evolving further and faster than we could imagine, not just in Wales and respiratory care, but across all clinical and geographic areas.
We were delighted to welcome Phil to the Whispers’ Words of Wisdom webinar series.
This webinar forms part of our monthly Whispers’ Words of Wisdom series, in which we have in-depth, comprehensive conversations with senior colleagues from the NHS. We explore what their immediate priorities are, what they see as the greatest challenges currently faced by the NHS, and how the NHS might respond to these challenges.
