Jordan Sollof, reporter at Digital Health News, is joined by Lloyd Price and Mohammad Al-Ubaydli to talk about procurement and why the NHS is so difficult to sell to. From their own experience, Price, a healthtech founder, mergers and acquisitions advisor and non-executive director for various digital health companies, and Al-Ubaydli, founder and chief executive of digital health social enterprise, Patients Know Best, shine a light on the main issues that can make selling to the NHS a challenge. The pair discuss success stories of startups which have successfully sold to the NHS, before assessing whether companies and suppliers need to take more care in ensuring they are pitching the right solution to the right organisation. They give their views on whether the NHS procurement process has become overcomplicated, a point raised in a session at Rewired 2024, and speculate whether the forthcoming Procurement Act (which was originally due to come into force in October 2024, but has been delayed until February 2025) will solve some issues and make it easier for those selling in the health technology sector. Finally, the guests predict what they anticipate will happen in the coming months and years, including whether the NHS will become a simpler system as a whole to sell to or if we will still be having the same conversation about difficulties selling in a few years' time. Guests: Lloyd Price, health tech founder, mergers and acquisitions advisor and non-executive director for various digital health companies Mohammad Al-Ubaydli, founder and chief executive of Patients Know Best  

Tammy Lovell is joined by Victoria Betton, director at Peopledotcom and Hassan Chaudhury, commercial director at DATA-CAN, to talk about how to overcome racism and discrimination in the digital health sector. Along with NHS doctor Ayesha Rahim, Betton and Chaudhury are founders behind the creation of an Equity Charter, which aims to put anti-racism guiding principles for the sector in place. In the podcast, they discuss how the idea for the charter was formed at Digital Health Rewired in March 2024, following racist remarks made by TPP founder Frank Hestor, reported in The Guardian. This led Rahim, Betton and Chaudhury to publish an open letter online condemning racism and discrimination in digital health, which has had more than 1,000 signatories. In July 2024, the three founders held a summit at The King's Fund in London, attended by around 30 stakeholders, to discuss what should be included in an Equity Charter. In the podcast, the pair discuss how the views expressed by NHS suppliers can affect patient care and what needs to happen to make sure that everyone in the supply chain adheres to equality, diversity and inclusion policies. Chaudhury also highlights how anti-racism in digital health goes further than procurement, and why some NHS organisations and employees are choosing to leave X because it no longer aligns with their values. You can find out more about the Equity Charter and sign here. Guests: Victoria Betton, director at Peopledotcom Hassan Chaudhury, commercial director at DATA-CAN and head of commercial at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust

I love watching someone so good at their craft. Whether it's an artist, or a great lawyer, watching someone in their element always leaves me feeling in awe of their dedication, experience and tenacity to get great at something.    Nobody feels that way about their doctor.    In today's episode, I want to address the trend of “doing your own research” for your medical care. The general distrust in medicine and the lack of appreciation about what goes into making a medical decision (combined with the internet) has left people feeling like they are actually more capable than their doctor at reading research. It's left people feeling like there are un-read articles that only they can find (and their doctor won't) and even that their doctor wants to choose something for them that is not the best answer (on purpose).    Reading research, synthesizing difficult concepts, communicating those concepts and helping people make value based and pragmatic decisions about their health care is my absolute super power. But put it in the ring with blogs, podcasts, DIY health programs and people's overestimation in their own research capabilities and I'm left going toe to toe with an accountant over their hormone dose, or a teacher over their nutrition needs.    This episode isn't about discouraging you from being interested in your health - quite the opposite. But being informed and interested is not the same as being a good researcher. I share my top strategies for “doing your own research” if you want to try, and when to trust the information that's being offered to you by your health care team.  For the first time, I've created a DIY program for patients with endometriosis that helps you “do your own research” with guided videos, handouts and the real evidence on how to lower your pain.

If you've spent 10 minutes on social media, you've probably heard the term insulin resistance. If you've spent 11 minutes on social media someone has probably scared you into feeling like your blood sugar is a problem, and you need a special solution to manage it.  In today's episode, we talk about what the term insulin resistant means, and why everyone needs a basic understanding of blood sugar regulation to achieve better health. With diabetes being one of the most important (and most common) health consequences of aging, understanding your personal risks and how to manage them is a massive step in the right direction toward diabetes prevention.  And, in true Women's Health Unplugged fashion, Jordan outlines the myths about blood sugar, why you don't need a CGM (continuous glucose monitor) even if your favourite Instagram account wears one and what practical considerations look like to reduce your future risk of diabetes.  In this episode, we cover:  What the definition of insulin resistance is Which lab tests you could consider to better understand your blood sugar Practical steps that help lower the risk of insulin resistance and diabetes The myths and claims you can ignore  If you're a practitioner and a member of The Confident Clinician, we'll see you this weekend at our 12-hour insulin resistance advanced training. This course is free for all current members and will provide you with all of the resources you need to better support your patient population.  If you're not a member, you can add your name to the waitlist for our July 2023 member drive. We only add clinician members twice per year. You can learn more at http://www.confidentclinicianclub.com

We know you've likely had information about protein shoved down your throat (pun intended) but do you really understand the WHY?   Things change during ageing and the menopause transition that affect how people's bodies incorporate dietary protein, and the impact on this is far-reaching. From lower muscle mass, changes to change in satiety (how full you are) and a reduction in energy expenditure (how much we burn in a day), protein affects a lot.    We review what catabolism is, and how eating the same protein you've always eaten doesn't provide enough building blocks to prevent muscle breakdown as you age.  In this episode we'll talk through:  Why is protein the most important macronutrient in menopause? What happens if you don't hit your targets (and it has to do with appetite)? The impact that both aging and menopause have on metabolism and protein needs (they aren't the same) Why women have different needs than men.    We'll also cover how to increase your protein intake to meet your needs and what you might notice if you increase your protein levels up to the targets we discuss.    We've released our new Women's Health Unplugged App on the App Store and Google Play this month, with our first on-demand course being on endometriosis and menstrual cramps. You can download the app and get ready for our subscriber-only content for the Women's Health Unplugged podcast when we release it later in 2023.

The discussion then moves onto how CCIOs and CNIOs can balance responsibilities of mentoring whilst managing their own professional development and the common misconceptions they face when it comes to mentoring. Finally, Amy and Peter give their thoughts on whether there are enough mentorship programmes and clear pathways of support for nurses, before sharing some success stories and examples of how mentoring has helped them or other mentees in their career.

Lastly, the panel discuss the future digital opportunities for digital and clinical informatics learning, and top tips for developing those already in CNIO or similar roles.

The news team gather in person for the latest episode of Unplugged as they discuss the ongoing Advanced cyber-attack story and the current lack of national policy around cyber defence. Junior news reporter Jordan Sollof hosts and is joined by editor Hannah Crouch and Digital Health's CEO and editor-in-chief Jon Hoeksma. The trio discuss the entire Advanced cyber-attack saga from when the news first broke in early August up until Jon's most recent stories in October, one of which revealed that client data had been exfiltrated in the attack. The other highlighted that the NHS is struggling to recover electronic patient records (EPRs) for a group of 12 mental health trusts following the cyber security attack. The news team then debate whether cyber security is taken seriously enough in the NHS and why there is a lack of movement on national policy. *This episode was recorded on Tuesday 18 October 2022 and therefore some of the discussion may now seem outdated as the UK has since changed prime minister and health secretary.*

When a friend of mine signed up for her period tracker app, it asked her for her partner's email address. Several times a month he would receive an email about the state of my friend's menstrual health. "You partner is in her luteal phase. You may want to tread lightly and carry a big stick". Well, that's not what the emails said exactly, but it was something to that effect: "During this time in her cycle she may need warm tea, cuddles and chocolate". Whenever they'd get into a fight he'd go, "What's the meaning of this? I didn't get an email." Have you noticed that, if you're a menstruating person, or transitioning into menopause, there are moments, days or weeks where you're ready to run for Prime Minister (or President), and other weeks you're a puddle on the floor of your closet, trying to figure out what pants to wear? When you talk to your doctor you might be prescribed an anti-depressant, told your birth control, peri-menopause or periods have nothing to do with it. And yet, you still suspect that your hormones are playing a role in your mental and emotional health. In this episode I talk to Dr. Jordan Robertson, a naturopathic doctor and women's health expert about Feeling Hormonal. What role do hormones play in our mood states and what can we do about them? We talk about hormones link to mood, the truth about hormone replacement therapy, how progress is better than programs when it comes to improving lifestyle and nutrition, how your hormones hate restriction, and how to talk to your doctor and seek help for the hormonal mood changes that are so common in those who menstruate. Dr. Jordan Robertson is a naturopathic doctor with a practice in Burlington, Ontario. She is owner of Clarity Health, the host and creator of the Women's Health Unplugged podcast, and the CEO of i-Med Research Hub, an online portal for integrative medicine practitioners to hone their research skills and stay up to date on the current knowledge. She is the author of the best-selling book on miscarriage "Carrying to Term: How to get tested, stay pregnant and carry a healthy baby to term".
