Send us a text
In this episode, David tells us how doctors can get into positions of influence, what they can do there, and why doctors are well placed to influence the broader context. He outlines that our profession already has much influence, and shares tips for anyone aspiring to make changes in their immediate environment or the wider healthcare system.
Professor David Oliver is a Consultant in Geriatrics and General Internal Medicine and a former clinical vice president of the RCP and past-president of the British Geriatrics Society having also been its honorary secretary. David is a visiting fellow at the King's Fund, alongside his clinical job as an NHS consultant in geriatrics and general internal medicine at the Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust, where he was also lead clinician and clinical director. He has been a trustee of the Nuffield Trust since 2019.
A hospital doctor since 1989, David was a consultant and clinical director at South London NHS Trust from 1998 to 2004 and was the Department of Health national clinical director for older people from 2009 to 2013. He spent 3 years as specialist clinical adviser for the NHS Emergency Care Improvement Partnership, visiting and working with over 30 acute hospitals and healthcare systems.
David has written a weekly freelance column, ‘Acute perspective’ in the BMJ, which has been shortlisted for the 2017 PPA columnist of the year award. He has written for several other professional and general publications, and has published more than 120 research papers, reviews, book chapters and editorials.
In addition to his medical qualifications and research doctorate, David has master's degrees in health leadership, healthcare ethics and law, and postgraduate diplomas in health service management and medical education. He was recently named in the Health Service Journal's top 100 clinical leaders and top 50 integrated care leaders lists.
