In this landmark episode of the Next GenCast, Dr. Nish Manek sits down with Professor Sir Steve Powis, just weeks before he steps down as National Medical Director of the NHS in England after more than seven years in the role.This is not just an interview — it's an unfiltered, powerful reflection on leadership under pressure, told by the man who stood at the helm of the NHS during one of its most turbulent chapters: the COVID-19 pandemic.In a conversation recorded live at NHS Confed Expo in June 2025, Sir Steve opens up in a way few senior leaders ever do.He talks honestly about the terror of those early pandemic days, what it really felt like to stand at the podium during Downing Street press conferences, and the emotional toll of knowing the NHS could collapse under his watch.But this episode is about far more than crisis leadership. It's a deeply personal insight into what makes a great leader — from the power of relationships and kindness to handling imposter syndrome at the very top. Sir Steve also shares the most important lessons he's learned, what he hopes for the next generation of clinical leaders, and how he wants to be remembered.**Highlights03:00 – "I didn't set out to be a leader"06:00 – “I caught the bug” – enjoying policy and strategy08:00 – Early mentors, first impressions, and learning to manage a unit11:00 – Becoming a Medical Director and then National Medical Director14:00 – The Simon Stevens sofa interview16:00 – Imposter syndrome, confidence, and doubt21:00 – Pandemic prep and the moment it became real26:00 – Behind the scenes at Downing Street press briefings30:00 – Media gaffe: “I didn't hear the question…”32:00 – Communicating in a crisis: “You're never speaking to just one audience”37:00 – The emotional toll and the moment that broke him43:00 – Watching The Repair Shop in tears48:00 – Working with politicians: “See the world through their eyes”52:00 – Legacy and pride: Royal Free, North Middlesex, and the NHS model59:00 – Quickfire round: cartography, Springsteen, and shoemaking1:03:00 – Final leadership advice: “Kindness.

I'm honored to have Dr. Richard Bermudez, the National Medical Director at Brainsway, joining us. Dr. Bermudez is a pioneer in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a groundbreaking treatment for mental health conditions like depression and anxiety. With years of expertise in neuroscience and psychiatry, he has made it his mission to expand the accessibility and efficacy of innovative mental health therapies. Today, he'll share his journey from electrical engineering to medicine and how it shaped his passion for non-invasive brain stimulation treatments. We dive into the science behind TMS and how it differs from traditional mental health treatments like medication and talk therapy. Dr. Bermudez explains the evolution of TMS technology, including its ability to stimulate specific brain networks through advanced coil designs. We'll also discuss the transformative outcomes TMS provides for patients, as well as its potential for treating conditions beyond depression, from obsessive-compulsive disorder to nicotine dependence. Whether you're a clinician, a mental health advocate, or simply curious about this cutting-edge therapy, this discussion promises to be both educational and inspiring. As we explore TMS, Dr. Bermudez highlights its safety, versatility, and unique role in fostering neuroplasticity. He compares TMS with other emerging treatments like ketamine therapy and discusses the collaborative innovations underway at Brainsway. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in mental health, neuroscience, or the future of non-invasive treatments. [03:32] We've had great success with TMS at Camelback Integrated Health and Wellness. [04:14] Dr. Bermudes started out as an engineer and ended up switching to biology in college. [05:38] He worked in a physiology lab doing neurophysiology research and brain stimulation. He learned that the brain was an electrochemical organ. [06:22] He ended up going into medicine and psychiatry. He became clinically interested in non-invasive brain stimulation. [08:44] Brainsway is like a family with a very collaborative culture. They want to transition into a true neuroscience technology company. [10:03] It's an exciting time for the organization and for neuroscience. [13:23] How TMS differs from traditional medications or therapies. Transcranial means it's across the skull but it's not invasive. They use a high-powered magnet to induce a small electrical current. [15:40] Brainsway developed their technology in conjunction with the NIH and their coils are what are called complex coils. [16:47] 8 out of 10 patients have had a clinically significant change in their depression score. [19:07] There are three brain networks responsible for our mental health and Brainsway has three different helmets and coils. Each one modulates a different network. [21:47] TMS is safe and good for all of our brains. It induces neuroplasticity. [23:22] Deep TMS and standard TMS. Deep TMS stimulates more areas of the networks. [26:54] Functional MRIs and studies related to TMS. [28:33] Neurological changes that TMS produces in the brain. TMS belongs with the other pillars of substance abuse treatments. [30:01] We learn about conditions that TMS is cleared to treat. [39:58] There are different targets or areas of the brain that need to be modulated to affect different brain networks. There's not a lot of evidence that TMS would work for bipolar mania or autism or ADHD. [43:22] We learn about the typical TMS protocol and how long it takes to start to see results. [51:20] Dr. Bermudes talks about accelerated protocols and the use of TMS and ketamine. [55:00] Avoiding toxic conversations and watching the news. You don't want negative experiences on your plastic brain. The patient experience is important and it's good to have a calm, safe, welcoming environment. [57:17] TMS and psychedelics like ketamine. They both have glutamate which is our excitatory neurotransmitter. [59:06] Things to think about when deciding between TMS or ketamine. [01:03:22] Safety profiles of TMS versus ketamine. Safety concerns for TMS include not having any metal in your head and likelihood of having seizures. [01:12:00] Misconceptions about TMS. [01:14:11] Accessibility and insurance cost for TMS. [01:20:34] A device based treatment that doesn't require a doctor or a psychiatrist will help address the shortage of psychiatric prescribers. [01:21:53] It's surprising how many research articles about TMS are available now.

In this episode of Quality Matters, host Andy Reynolds is joined by Dr. Tiffany Inglis, National Medical Director for Women's and Children's Health at Carelon Health, to explore the Elevance Health Obstetrics Practice Consultants program. A winner of an NCQA Health Innovation Award, the Elevance Health program breaks new ground by bringing value-based care to obstetrics, a field where value-based strategies remain rare. Dr. Inglis discusses the program's focus on improving maternal health outcomes by addressing racial disparities and providing practitioners with insight and know-how. By emphasizing collaboration and data-driven support, the program improves the care of mothers and babies. The conversation further examines the growth and impact of the program since its inception in 2015. Dr. Inglis highlights measurable indicators of success, including double-digit reductions in low birth weight and preterm births. The discussion addresses implications of integrating value-based care into obstetrics, showcasing how this model not only improves outcomes for mothers and babies but also fosters an effective, sustainable health care system. Key Quote: “For me, the surprise has been the impact you can have by taking this approach of value-based care, tied to quality, and then aligning it to provider supports. The member gets better care, the provider gets their value-based care contract stuff taken care of, and the plan gets a better outcome for mom and baby. It's the triple win, a good outcome for everyone. And I think the thing that caught me most off guard was just the scale at which we can improve outcomes and see better care.”Dr. Tiffany Inglis Time Stamps:00:43 Elevance Health OB Practice Consultants Program's Impact on Maternity Care01:45 The Role and Growth of OB Practice Consultants05:10 The Relationship to Other Quality Initiatives 08:36 Challenges and Misconceptions in Value-Based Care12:17 Tips for Implementing Value-Based Care Links:Connect with Dr. InglisNCQA Health Innovation AwardsNCQA Birth Equity Accountability through Measurement (BEAM) Program

Martha Mills was 13 years old when she died in hospital two years ago, after failures by doctors to spot and treat her sepsis. Her mother Merope previously spoke to Today and called for hospitals to implement 'Martha's Rule', where patients and their families would be given the right to an urgent second opinion, if they feel their concerns are not being taken seriously by medical staff. The Health Secretary Steve Barclay then said in the House of Commons that he was looking at introducing a Martha's Rule to the NHS. Labour responded to our interview by saying if the government doesn't act, they will write the rule into the NHS constitution. Today's Mishal Husain speaks to NHS England's National Medical Director, Professor Sir Stephen Powis, responds to that interview by Merope Mills and her call for 'Martha's Rule'.

Thomas Cornwell MD of Village Medical at Home Dr. Thomas Cornwell, National Medical Director of Village Medical at Home, has made more than 34,000 house calls. That's astounding considering that home-based visits haven't traditionally been considered to be a profitable service line. Nothing has been shown to reduce hospitalizations on the sickest patients in society as much as home-based primary care, but the economics haven't added up until players like Village Medical have found a place for it in their value-based care models.

Medical students are taught about and examined a lot on clinical guidelines. What is best for patients overall, as recommended in guidelines, may not be appropriate for individuals. Blanket recommendations, rather than a menu of options or recommendations for shared decision making, ignore patients' preferences. So what do guidelines mean in practice? When do we deviate from them when your clinical acumen is telling you that guidelines may not be the best fit? Expert guest: Dr Liam Loftus is a GP trainee and a National Medical Director's Clinical Fellow who has worked with the Personalised Care Institute.
