Dr. Ronan Glynn, former Deputy Chief Medical Officer and Health Sector Lead at EY Ireland
Dr Ronan Glynn, the former Deputy Chief Medical Officer of Ireland, and current Health Sector Lead at EY Ireland, was writing in the Irish times about the healthcare debates taking place across the country, and believes we are too focused on the wrong things.The problem solving within the HSE is for immediate issues, rather than long term problems…Ronan joins guest host Jonathan Healy to discuss.
Key leaders from across the public sector are to come together at the University of Galway's J.E. Cairnes School of Business and Economics to share insights and explore how lessons from crises can be used to deliver future reform. The event - Leading Change in the Public Sector: Using Crisis to Deliver Future Reform - is part of the School's Thinking Beyond thought leadership series. Former and current public sector leaders will take part in the event on Wednesday, November 13th from 8.30 am to 11 am, in the O'Donoghue Theatre at the University of Galway. Ireland has experienced two of the most significant crises over the past two decades. It has been 14 years since then Taoiseach Brian Cowen announced that the EU-ECB-IMF troika would oversee Ireland's economic affairs due to the financial crisis. Some 10 years later, the highest level of movement restrictions was imposed due to the novel COVID-19 virus. The Irish economy has rebounded on the back of both crises and the event will examine the lessons learned, as well as the ongoing cultural and structural transformation in process across the Defence Forces. Former Secretary General at the Department for Enterprise, Trade, and Employment, Dr. Orlaigh Quinn, who worked in Government through both the seismic events will deliver the keynote address. A panel discussion is also being hosted with Dr Quinn; Dr Ronan Glynn, the former Deputy Chief Medical Officer and current Health Sector Lead and Partner, EY; Elizabeth Canavan, Assistant Secretary General at Department of the Taoiseach; and Brian Molloy, Defence Forces Head of Transformation and President of the Camogie Association. The event will be chaired by Alma McCarthy, Professor of Public Sector Management and Dean of J.E. Cairnes School of Business and Economics, University of Galway. Professor McCarthy said: "Ireland's public services employ more than 370,000 people with an annual budget of over €90 billion in 2024. Effective leadership of our public services significantly impacts every single citizen in our state." "Our speakers all have extensive public sector management experience with responsibility for overseeing and delivering wide-ranging change and extensive reform programmes. I am looking forward to hearing how learnings from recent crises can be harnessed to continue to deliver public sector reform."
Sir Jonathan Van-Tam, or ‘JVT' as he's arguably better known, first came to widespread public attention in his role as Deputy Chief Medical Officer during the Covid-19 pandemic.But even before that, Jonathan had built an impressive career based on a long-held fascination with respiratory illness and infectious diseases. He's worked across the public and private sectors, contributing significantly to improving our understanding of influenza and treatments to address such viruses.It's hard to believe that back in his teens, JVT – the man who advised the nation on pandemic precautions and helped make the UK's vaccine roll-out possible – nearly didn't get the grades he needed to go to medical school. But early challenges aside, Jonathan went on to discover a love for both medical research and public speaking: making complex public health messages easier to digest – not least by using analogies relating to his beloved football.Speaking to Professor Jim Al-Khalili in the first episode of a new series of The Life Scientific, Jonathan discusses his life and career: from academic emphasis in childhood and imposter syndrome at medical school, to pandemic pressures around Covid-19 and big birthday celebrations.

Whatever we are doing on health, it isn't enough to prepare for the wave of morbidity that is clearly in sight. Recent Health Foundation modelling estimates 1 in 5 will be living with major illness by 2040, mostly because more of us will be older. But it's not just about age. A record 2.5 million working-age people are already not in work due to ill health. So what can be done to improve the state of nation's health?

After two-and-a-half years of Covid rampaging across the planet, causing millions of deaths and transforming billions of lives, everyone is keen to move on. But this week the head of the World Health Organization warned the public that the pandemic is “nowhere near over” and that with cases rising 30% over the past fortnight we must collectively “push back”. This assessment comes after many governments have pulled back on testing and removed restrictions such as the requirement to wear masks in certain public spaces. England's former Deputy Chief Medical Officer says the lethality of Covid-19 is now getting closer to that of the seasonal flu, so how should we adapt to the next phase of the pandemic? Vaccines have prevented many people from getting seriously ill and dying, but only in countries with ready access to jabs and high vaccination rates. The UN estimates roughly 72% of people in high income countries have received at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine, but the figure for low-incomes nations is roughly 18%. How much progress has been made in the fight against Covid-19 and what will the next phase of the pandemic look like? Paul Henley is joined by a panel of expert guests. Producers: Ellen Otzen and Paul Schuster.

When you want to understand vaccines, you go straight to the woman in Nova Scotia, if not Canada, who understands their impact the most. Superwoman, I have never cried on a podcast before.

Many thanks to Donnie Bell, MD, a neuro-interventional radiologist and Deputy Chief Medical Officer for New York City Health and Hospitals in New York City, NY, for chatting with me today. Dr. Bell is a co-author of a recent article published in the Journal of the American Medical Association along with Michael Katz, MD, that speaks to the necessity of modernizing the medical licensing and credentialing process due to time-wasting redundancies and inefficiencies. Dr. Bell has first-hand knowledge of these issues from personal experience and overseeing his institution's medical staff credentialing process.Dr. Bell confirmed that delayed and cumbersome credentialing experiences commonly occur across the country. This chronic problem disproportionately affects physicians who practice locum tenens and telemedicine, who often maintain more than one medical license and credentialing at multiple institutions. Locum tenens physicians often carry five or more state licenses, and I have heard of telemedicine physicians with thirty or more. In New York City, the bureaucratic obstacle to clinical care of licensing and credentialing became acutely apparent during the COVID-19 pandemic when additional providers were needed emergently. Even though regulatory bodies lifted some restrictions using “disaster” mode, many practitioners had to wait far too long before they could assist in desperately needed patient care. These barriers affected not only physicians but other health care providers as well.Dr. Bell discussed the pros and cons of a national medical license, which would facilitate physician movement throughout the country. A common physician database, which already exists in the form of the National Provider Identifier (NPI) identifier, could facilitate the process. As proof of concept, the Veterans Health Administration, the largest health care system in the United States, only requires its physicians to maintain a single state license. An international medical certificate would further increase physician mobility and access to care.Dr. Bell suggested that one hypothetical consequence of abandoning state medical board jurisdiction is that disciplinary action against physicians might be more difficult to enforce. According to Dr. Bell, it is too early to determine whether the relaxation of licensing and credentialing during the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in any patient harm. According to Dr. Bell, the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact (IMLC) is “the best of both worlds.” Unfortunately, the IMLC still requires physicians to obtain and pay for each state license. Physicians must also adhere to each state's continuing medical education (CME) requirements, which can vary significantly from state to state. Dr. Bell suggested that the Federal Government is “best positioned” to streamline the state-dominated system.“The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner” appears twice monthly.
