Professor Alistair Chesser is Chief Medical Officer of one of the UKs largest NHS Trusts. He was on the frontline during COVID and saw first hand the speed of the health response required. Getting the balance right in health requires navigating the efficiencies of big data while maintaining the trust of patients and the public. Join me in this fascinating conversation focussed on the changes occurring in the healthcare system and what the future in health might look like.

As Health Secretary during the pandemic, Matt Hancock led the UK’s health response to COVID. Join me as we discuss the extraordinary medical research discoveries that helped protect people’s lives. We explore how rising healthcare costs and ageing populations will increasingly require governments to embrace technological opportunities to ensure better health for all.

As the UKs longest serving Health Secretary and now Chancellor Jeremy Hunt is passionate about safer healthcare. In his new book, “Zero”, he argues it’s not just good for patients to drive for zero avoidable deaths but also the financial sustainability of the healthcare system. As a paediatrician turned politician I’m fascinated to know how Jeremy thinks about the future of health. Join me to hear us discuss the role of government in making the future of healthcare better.
