Dr. David Maddams

– The Thoughtful Leader with Mindy Gibbins-Klein

Episode 034 Thoughtful Healthcare with Dr. David Maddams

The National Healthcare System, NHS, in the UK has been admired around the world for how it serves its citizens. As with all healthcare, it has gone through changes and faces more challenges as demands on the system become greater. Witnessing these changes is David Maddams, a retired General Practitioner who was with the system for 32 years and retired at age 60.

Dr. Maddams reflects on those changes in his book The Doctor Can't See You Now: Reflections of a Retiring GP. In our conversation, he speaks frankly on how thoughtful leaders can work to improve the NHS, especially after all the mental health challenges workers face because of the pandemic.

Dr. Maddams advice is valuable for the NHS and all healthcare systems. We discuss:

The pressures that General Physicians and Nurses face at the NHS.

The mental health issues of witnessing so many daily deaths during the pandemic.

Thoughtful leaders should look at the outcomes that the NHS wants to achieve.

The mixed messages on policies and negative press language.

Addressing the medical shortages and specialty training logjams.

How patients can support health care staff.

Here's to your Thought Leadership Journey!
