Recorded at Evidence Based Perioperative Medicine (EBPOM) in London last year this presentation is the third of a series of four sessions under the heading: "Implementation – what works and what doesn't?".

This piece is the third talk in the series, the first is here: https://topmedtalk.libsyn.com/joyce-yeung-why-dont-we-implement-trial-results-ebpom-world-congress

Next week we will release the panel discussion.

In this talk we get an NHS leader's perspective on the challenges and obstacles in implementing new innovations within the NHS. Drawing from his extensive experience, David Probert highlights the impact of funding reductions, increasing waiting lists, and strict performance metrics on healthcare delivery. He uses case studies, including robotic surgery, to illustrate successful strategies for gaining approval for innovations, emphasizing the importance of aligning proposals with leadership priorities, utilizing first-mover advantage, and integrating patient care systems.

Presented by David Probert, Chief Executive Officer at University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
