Formed 60 yeasts ago, Ramsay Health care work across many health care sectors and within many continents of the world. In the UK they operate 37 hospital units after entering the UK healthcare market 15 years ago.
Nick Costa has worked in healthcare for 17 years and previous had roles in the logistics, retail and manufacturing sectors. His approach and interest is in providing a great customer focus and making a difference. The company works as a partner with the local NHS organisations - UK wide it is responsibility for 3% of NHS elective activity.
Ramsay bases itself on clinical excellence; focus on logistics and ensuring it support to staff well. In the recruitment phase clarity on roles and expectations is important; recruit for behaviours and values base and include into the team environment within the recruitment process to ensure a great âfitâ. Operating across so many units and a large geography, maintaining a good culture in the organisation needs: 1) team events to bring people together. 2) ensure customer feedback is provided to each operating unit. 3) support local leadership teams to lead with clear expectations. 4) ensure the executive team are visible and out and about. 5) cluster units together to provide leadership and operational support 6) ensure everyone is aligned through the strategic intent, down to units and personal objectives 7) great communication 8) keep hierarchy flat
Nick describes his leadership approach, what has supported him and what helps him keep a healthy balance to sustain himself.
Looking ahead, Nick describes how we need to break down the barriers between the NHS and the independent sector. The independent sector must and wants to, train more and provide the space and activity to ensure that happens. The IS world can do more to share great practice and extend what is does on behalf of the NHS.
Finally Nick describes how accountability and responsibility in our organisations and the NHS needs to be strengthened.

Keith started his career as a Dr working working in primary care, hospitals and anaesthesia for 15 years focusing on cardiac and neuro specialisms followed by stints in the private sector and the World Health Organisation.
Intrigued by partnership models in insurance models he worked in roles that were based around behavioural change and rewarding people for making changes in their lifestyles. Premiums are lowered for those who make changes - evidenced by data and analysis.
Vitality have experienced that it takes 7-10 weeks to break a habit and make change in lifestyles.
The applicability of this approach to the NHS would be:
Offer health checksTrack their physical activityUse prompts to make lifestyle changeThe approach to supporting staff to be healthy revolves around incentivising them to make change and achieve âgold levelâ. The same approach could be used in the NHS.
Why donât Boards report on how they are supporting staff to be healthy - not just their core workforce statistics on absences etc.
Reflecting on the differences between the independent sector and the NHS, Keith defines - innovation, flexibility and standards. Consultants sign up with the clear knowledge that they will be judged against patient feedback, and data on clinical outcomes - therefore consultants are chosen to work for them on best outcomes, which minimises cost to the insurer.
As Keith looks to the future and steps down from the Managing Director role in not too distant future, he reflects on what he is likely to be spending his time doing.

Founded 35 years ago by a Physio, GP and podiatrist Connect Health has grown and developed considerably over the years. Now solely providing NHS contracted care, the organisation provides MSK care; pain management services, and rheumatology support.
After being awarded a NHS contract outside of their âhomeâ patch in 2010, attracting investment, forming a new Board and leadership team, the form has gone from strength to strength. Now employing nearly 900 people, the organisation stays small, focussed and niche.
The value base and ethos is very similar to NHS organisations with a clear focus on people, quality, being dynamic and pioneering. They have partnered with academia and have diversified their service offer.
Andrew describes his hands on leadership approach. Recently he signed 75 birthday card for staff, is visible at âwelcome to connectâ events, and has a sharp focus on employee support.
As a business owner and he has learnt from other business leaders; sought the challenge from investors and surrounded himself with talented individuals to drive innovation in the organisation
Andres reflects on advice to future leaders- be resilient, have fun, be yourself, have courage, do things the right way.

The office of the National Guardian was set up following the recommendation of Robert Francis in his seminal review work. The National Guardian and the office covers England and is hosted within the Care Quality Commission. It has/continues to develop processes and cultural improvement to support people speak up about care and quality in healthcare organisations. There are over 1000 guardians country wide with nearly every type of organisation possessing a NHS contract having a guardian in their fold or access to joint guardian arrangements.
Feedback from people who have spoken up or who would have wanted to is that there is fear; concern about individual detriment and a sense of futility - what will actually change and therefor what is the point?
A role of the National Guardian is to speak truth to power and shine a light in areas where staff and data say there are problems - such as the recent report into the culture in ambulance providers.
Looking forward Jayne is eager that culture within organisations is viewed as important as finance or performance dynamics. As more sectors embrace the Guardian approach (police/fire) there is an opportunity to embed this speaking up culture throughout the public sector and ensure we avoid the silences that incur in far too many places.

The General Medical Council is an independent regulator, established in Statute. Charlie has been its leader for seven years. It keeps the register of practicing professionals; undertakes fitness practice assessments; sets training and education requirements for medical schools and increasingly supports organisations to proactive support Drs in employment.
Data and insight is a key plank of the organisational approach. using the national trainee survey it has detailed information of organisations supporting trainees at departmental level. Strategically it is becoming more important to be sharing that information with other national regulators, to enable better insight and drive targeted action.
There are now higher numbers of doctors coming onto the register who were trained outside of the UK, than trained in the country and this has meant the GMC has had to adapt to this reality. They have also developed support for employers on caring and supporting for those who were trained outside the UK to ensure their assimilation and transition into UK healthcare is successful and that cultural and non UK training issues do not drive referrals into the fitness to practice process.
Charlie describes what keeps him resilient as a leader. Learning and depending on a team is crucial; balance in work and home life; regular exercise with dogs and competitive table tennis to keep him sharp!

Following careers in provider leadership and the Care Quality Commission, Andrea has led the NMC for the past five and half years. As the regulatory body for nurses and midwives, there are 848,000 on the professional register.
The NMC protects the public through the standards of registering professional to have a licence to practice; regulates the standards of professional education to terrain our clinicians and quality assures the programmes that are provided in educational institutions.
The organisation has changed alto of the past 5 years - 20% of the register are people that trained outside of the UK; users and professionals are involved as a critical eye and friend in how the organisation works and the use of data/insights is far more prevalent.
By far the largest number of referrals received about clinicians are from the general public, not employers. The NMC has worked hard to ensure they are able to advise and support employees, not be the first reaction to something that could have gone wrong for a registrant.
Andrea described the hard road in making cultural change in any organisation, including the NMC and reflects on her personal impact as a leader.
She leaves the organisation with unfinished business due to her needing urgent and pressing treatment from the NHS that will take some time to recover from. We all wish Andrea well in her recovery.

Michael West is a Professor of organisational psychology and a senior fellow at the Kings Fund.
In the podcast Michael discusses how the NHS staff survey is the longest running staff survey worldwide across all sectors. Designed in 2003, it has 20 years of data and feedback from 600K people per year.
The evidence shows the best predictor of NHS organisational performance is staff engagement - specifically the involvement of staff in decision making (also predicts performance, quality and financial outcomes). Inclusive and supportive staff leadership is one of the most important factors, where leaders listen and are empathetic.
Michael discusses the themes of an appreciative culture; the fundamental importance of team working and the data showing staff workload and burnout being the biggest negative factors and predictor of good patient outcomes.
The importance of using staff survey data intelligently is shown that if you want to understand what will be happening in an individual organisation in the near further - look at engagement; burnout and team working scores. They will predict what outcomes are going to be achieved.Summarising the themes from the series one episodes with NHS chief executives, Matthew and Michael, discussed how good organisations have a clear DNA - based around vision; values; totally linked into objectives and priorities for all. Leaders must be present - not just visible -don't have an agenda and make sure you Listen with fascination. This has a ripple effect as others will mirror this approach.
Michale ends the episode with a reflection that leadership is not a cloak you put on âits authenticity; humility to learn; nurturing our capacity to empathise; compassion is thought; lean into the difficult; being compassionate helps others and helps ourselves; be self compassionate and support others.
