Today, I bring you a heartfelt conversation with Hannah Beecham MBE, the visionary behind Red January, who shares her story of transforming her mother's struggle with mental health into a nationwide call to action.

We also highlight the importance of supporting mental health beyond our own, with Red January participants raising funds for crucial projects.

Alex Rothwell, Chief Executive of the NHS Counter Fraud Authority, discusses the issue of fraud in the NHS in England. Alex highlights the importance of addressing fraud in the NHS, as any money lost to fraud could have been spent on healthcare outcomes. The conversation explores the importance of fraud prevention and control measures in the healthcare sector, and emphasises the need for a cultural change that prioritises reducing loss to budgets and managing risk. The conversation concludes by discussing the motivations behind fraud and the role of good governance in preventing it. Takeaways The NHS Counter Fraud Authority is responsible for tackling fraud, bribery, and corruption in the NHS in England. Fraud in the NHS is a significant issue, with an estimated £1.2 billion lost to fraud each year. There are different types of fraud in the NHS, including internal staff fraud, corruption, and fraud committed by external individuals or organisations. Preventing fraud is a priority, and organisations should have control measures in place to mitigate risk. Proactive measures, such as checking declarations of interest and identifying red flags, are essential in preventing fraud. Good governance plays a vital role in preventing fraud and creating a culture of transparency and accountability.

In this conversation, Tara interviews Phin Robinson, Founder and director of Pure Physiotherapy. They discuss how Phin scaled his organisation from a small practice to a national business with nearly 500 employees. Phin discusses the role of physiotherapy in primary care and the importance of health and wellbeing. He talks about the Gojo app, which promotes physical activity, and the benefits of team based challenges, and shares insights on growing a service based business in the NHS.
Key takeaways
Passion and values are key drivers in scaling a business and building a strong company culture. Transitioning from a clinical role to a leadership role requires continuous learning and adaptation. Creating a supportive and inclusive environment for the team is crucial for success. Promoting health and wellbeing is important, both for patients and healthcare professionals. Team based challenges, like the Gojo app, can encourage physical activity and friendly competition.

Helen Gillivan & Dr Mayur Vibhuti join Tara to discuss their work in adult social care and primary care, as well as their collaboration on an innovation project.
They share their experiences with leadership development programmes and the importance of continuity and sustainability in these programmes.

"Run your own race." Dr Dan Bunstone joins Tara this week, discussing his career journey and his current role at Etcetera Health. Dan explains the concept of lifestyle medicine and the importance of empowering individuals to manage their health, where they have onboarded and treated hard-to-reach patients, resulting in controlled blood pressure and potential savings of heart attacks and strokes. Tara finishes the episode by asking Dan to provide advice for primary care networks, healthcare professionals, network managers, and tech companies.. Dan & Tara's key takeaways: Lifestyle medicine, focusing on exercise, good diets, and sleep patterns, can have a powerful impact on health and is often more effective than medication. Running your own race and not comparing yourself to others is key. Finding time for exercise is crucial, even for busy healthcare professionals. Collaboration and proving cost savings are essential for primary care networks. Engaging with primary care as a tech company requires choosing the right partners and demonstrating clear benefits. Building a personal brand involves staying on message and being genuine.

Building on from episodes 312 & 314, Tara returns to discuss the importance of considering outside help from consultants for healthcare leaders facing challenges. Tara provides a list of important questions for leaders to reflect on and determine if they would benefit from external support.. Tara's key takeaways: Consider hiring a consultant if you consistently miss targets, have the same recurring issues, lack clarity on strategy, or face staffing and morale problems. Be ready and committed to investing time and resources to improve the situation before seeking outside help. Think about the potential impact of resolving the issue and consider if it can be resolved internally or if outside help is needed. When looking for a consultant, seek referrals from trusted sources and prioritise expertise and experience over cost. Consultants should deliver on the agreed scope of work and stay focused on the brief.

Jemma Bella joins us on The Business of Healthcare podcast to share her experiences of living with long covid.
What is long COVID? Most people with COVID-19 feel better within a few days or weeks of their first symptoms and make a full recovery within 12 weeks. For some people, symptoms can last longer. This is called long COVID or post COVID-19 syndrome. Long COVID is a new condition which is still being studied.
Jemma and I discussed:
Mental Health
Stigma associated with the condition
Feelings of blame, guilt, acceptance and the importance of control
Access support via the NHS
The importance of community
Mindset
What it means to be healthy
The purpose of the long covid collective
The support from her family
Financial considerations moving forward
