How do you unwind outside of the office ?
Spending time with family and friends is really important . Second is getting out on the links , I love a game of golf . I ’ m also a ‘ yes ’ man , which means I ’ m always agreeing to something new ; I jumped out of a plane earlier in the year , I won ’ t do it again . But it certainly helped me to not think about anything else at that moment in time .
What ’ s your go-to productivity trick ?
Get in the office . If you ’ ve got a project that needs fire lighting under it , if you ’ ve got difficult issues that need resolving , if there is a complex challenge to navigate then get your best people in an office to talk , collaborate and share ideas . I always come back from time with colleagues feeling rejuvenated and full of new ideas .
What do you currently identify as the major areas of investment within healthcare ?
At the moment , I have spotted three important major areas of investment for the healthcare sector . One is prevention over treatment , which has been enabled by new devices and technology to proactively identify needs . Another is personalised care for the individual , such as TCA / PNA / Hope ( least intrusive intervention ). One thing that is emerging within wider healthcare is the personalisation of pharmaceuticals .
Finally , population health management , i . e ., capturing good enough data to commission based on populations rather than incidence – per capita pricing models .
What are your predictions about future technologies emerging within the healthcare space ?
There are a few key areas within healthcare that are seeing important technological advances . Intelligent data and AI is an important one as they are unlocking insights and providing the most effective care for the individual .
We will also see greater technology to unlock clinician time , address supply and funding gaps through accelerating diagnosis and directing individuals to the right level of care .
Additionally , I think we will see more technology that focuses on physical and mental health needs , and possibly identify the overlap that can come from both of them . �
