Dr Tracey Vell MBE, chief executive of Manchester LMC, clinical director of Health Innovation Manchester and associate lead for primary care at the Greater Manchester Health & Social Care Partnership, joins us in the studio for our first NHE podcast, giving us exclusive insight into the health environment and innovation going on in Greater Manchester.
This timely half hour episode takes a deep dive into the roles of Dr Vell, discussing NHS frustrations, health innovation and why there needs to be fewer meetings.
Meaningful change in NHS leadership is a hot topic of the episode, with a couple of "this is quite controversial..." moments, Dr Vell gives us an unfiltered and honest opinion to the current health care sector and why she wants to start a new conversation regarding NHS' "falling workforce."
Find out how she thinks that the use of digital will bring about better access into healthcare and why digital innovation is everywhere.
With a medical quiz taking her back to her training days and her call for "disrupting culture", this debut NHE episode is not one to be missed.
Can you guess who she would invite to her dinner party? I'll give you a clue - he divides the nation.
