January 26, 2022 Dame Jackie Daniel: ‘Rinse and repeat’ won’t wash for dealing with the backlog
Newcastle Hospitals received the UK’s first coronavirus patients in January 2020. Two years on and with the NHS dealing with the biggest backlog it has ever faced, the trust’s chief executive, Dame Jackie Daniel, explores why bolder thinking is needed to tackle spiralling waiting lists. Sitting down with Matthew Taylor, Dame Jackie gets candid about the challenges of her role, striking the right balance between central and local leadership, and why the health sector needs to ‘lean in’ when working with local authorities. Speaking shortly after the debut of the Channel 4 documentary Geordie Hospital, she shares why letting the cameras in was so important.

January 19, 2022 Uday Bose: Medicine is incredibly important, but it's the ecosystem around the patient that you need to address.
Vaccines have proved a vital lifeline in the fightback against COVID-19, with our collective safety largely reliant on the efficacy of vaccines developed by pharmaceuticals companies. For the pharmaceutical sector, as in the healthcare sector, innovation has been the byword for the pandemic response. But what have been the lessons? And how might the NHS and pharmaceutical sector work in partnership to confront pressing healthcare challenges?

Uday Bose, country managing director and head of human Pharma at Boehringer Ingelheim UK & Ireland, sits down with Matthew Taylor to consider the issues. Uday, who also chairs the European Medicines Group, also explores how pharmaceuticals are increasingly working with patients and taking account of patient experience.
