In this episode of Health on the Line, Matthew Taylor is joined by two Australian healthcare leaders working at opposite ends of the globe.

Frances Diver is a well-known and respected healthcare executive, having held senior leadership roles for more than 20 years in Victoria, Australia.

She is currently chief executive officer at Barwon Health, a major regional health service in Victoria that includes a tertiary hospital and a wide range of community-based services.

Professor Lesley Dwyer, is chief executive of Norfolk and Waveney University Hospitals Group and has over 30 years of healthcare management experience in Australia and within the NHS.  

Together the trio discuss the Australian model of care, how it is more decentralised, and Frances’ work as part of the Health Round Table, a membership organisation of over 200 hospitals across Australia and New Zealand that collects, analyses and publishes extensive data on comparative performance.
