My focus is on developing the field of Value Based Procurement, creating new Industry-NHS partnerships to deliver the true potential of today’s technology and pave the way for tomorrows.

For a number of years now I have been directly leading the creation and implementation of new Partnerships with the NHS while also driving the organisational change required to allow a successful transition to a Value Based approach. It’s been a great journey to date, very rewarding and a lot has been learned. New roles, new contracts and new metrics all in a new language and aiming to deliver the behavioural drivers that facilitate partnership and outcome creation between two parties that were traditionally adversarial. To hear from both sides that not only is the day job now way more interesting, but they can’t see any other future makes the last few years so worthwhile.

Mechanisms for scale and the ability to deliver via various supply channels are the current challenges I’m involved in. At a local, regional and national level, change is required and change is happening.
