The Business of Surgery: Systems, Scepticism and Hospital Success #Ep.42

In this episode of HealthBeats, host Steve is joined by Rick May, Managing Director at Berkeley Research Group, who takes us through his remarkable path from NASA programmer to orthopaedic surgeon to healthcare leader. Rick explains why surgeries account for nearly 70% of hospital revenues and 60% of margins, making them a cornerstone of financial performance. He emphasises that great doctors alone are not enough, as without the right systems hospitals cannot thrive. Rick also addresses resistance among experienced surgeons, noting that while 20% may not adapt to change, the other 80% can drive meaningful improvement. Listen in for an insightful discussion on why scepticism in healthcare can be dangerous and why hospitals must continually evolve to deliver both quality outcomes and long-term success.

For Women, By Women: Dr. Summia’s Mission to Redefine Healthcare #Ep.41

In this powerful episode, Dr. Summia Samir Zaher, Chief Executive Officer of Women and Children’s Care at Global Patient Care, M42, opens up about her deeply personal journey into the world of women’s health and the systemic gaps she’s determined to change. Coming from a family of doctors, her ambition was sparked early. But it was her discovery of a troubling truth that shaped her purpose: for decades, most medical research, training, and clinical studies have been based on male patients, leaving female health vastly underrepresented. Even cadaver studies, she notes, have overwhelmingly focused on the male body forcing today’s medicine to play catch-up when it comes to understanding women’s physiology. With passion and precision, Dr. Zaher shares what it means to lead for women, by women, and how M42 is paving the way for evidence-based, gender-aware care that recognises and responds to the needs of half the world’s population.

The Primary Proposition: Shaping the Future of Primary Care #Ep.40

In the 40th episode of #HealthBeats, Methven Forbes, Group Chief Executive Officer of Fuller and Forbes Healthcare Group and a global authority in primary care, explores the evolving role of primary care as the “front door” of every health system.Methven discusses how primary care is expanding beyond traditional clinical roles to become the central point of contact between health systems and citizens. He highlights the importance of educating GPs to take on broader responsibilities, leveraging data collection systems, and integrating technology to enable a more proactive, patient-centered approach.The conversation also delves into the global shift from hospital to home-based care, exploring how this transformation impacts primary care delivery, and the systems that enable clinicians to access patient data efficiently. Methven shares insights on the challenges faced by the NHS, barriers to implementing best practices, and whether the UK is keeping pace with innovations emerging in the Middle East.This episode offers a deep dive into how primary care can be fit for the future, supporting healthier populations and resilient healthcare systems worldwide.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
