90. 'Digital is not an individual athlete' - LIVE from Re:wired

Episode 90 of THE health and politics podcast, comes LIVE from Digital Health Re:wired!

This episode is sponsored by MASTEK; a company with a 25-year history of working with the NHS and has been trusted to deliver significant national IT infrastructure and data projects across the UK Public Sector.

Former Health Ministers Steve Brine and Lord Bethell are at the NEC among four thousand digital health leaders with very special guests and all the usual insights into how decisions are made.

They begin with the huge response to last week's episode - 'meningitis horror' - and discuss a new vaccine commission getting underway from the Royal Society for Public Health. And the pair consider the new Neighbourhood Health Framework, finally published last week which is the delivery mechanism for the entire ten-year health plan as told to by NHS boss Jim Mackey when he was on the podcast last month.

And they're joined by Sonia Patel - Interim Government Chief Technology Officer (and former NHS England CTO) - as well as Helen Clifton, Executive Director of Products & Platforms at NHS England. Helen is responsible for how the NHS shows up in peoples’ pockets and whether digital actually delivers prevention.

The discussion covers:

• The £7.4 Billion NHS digital investment: Where is the money actually going?
• Martha’s Rule: How one mother’s campaign is saving hundreds of lives from sepsis.
• The Vaccination Gap: Why adult vaccine access is the next big public health challenge.
• Consumer Health: Will the NHS App ever be as good as your banking app or a Whoop band?
• The Neighborhood Health Framework: Is it a delivery mechanism or just a fantasy?
