  • I’m thrilled to share the latest episode of our podcast with you. This time, I had the honour of sitting down with Dr Raj Patel MBE.


    I worked with Raj when he was Interim National Medical Director of Primary Care for NHS England. Before that he was Medical Director for the North-West, and has held numerous senior clinical leadership positions in his career.


    But it was after reaching what he thought was the pinnacle of his career, that things took a turn for the worst.


    Imagine working across the road from a doctor, being asked to counter-sign his cremation forms for years - and one day realising that there were just too many forms for this to be normal. We’re talking about none other than Dr Harold Shipman, one of the most prolific serial killers in modern history. Not only did Raj experience the chilling reality of this discovery, but in this episode he reveals the personal and professional battles he encountered as he helped uncover the truth.


    From humble beginnings in Leicester to becoming a trailblazer in medical leadership, with stints as a TV doctor, advisor to the Department of Health, and stand up comedian along the way, Raj’s journey is nothing short of fascinating.

  • I am SO excited in this episode to speak to Tara Mohr, an expert in women’s leadership and well-being, and an author, educator and certified coach. Her book, Playing Big: Practical Wisdom for Women Who Want to Speak Up, Create and Lead, is one of my favourite books, and I am constantly recommending it to people.


    It provides real, practical tools to help women quiet self-doubt, identify their callings, “unhook” from praise and criticism, unlearn counterproductive "good girl" habits, and begin taking bold action.


    In this episode, Tara explains what she means by "playing big", and sheds light on why being more loyal to our dreams than our fears can shift our life's trajectory.


    We tackle the pervasive influence of the inner critic, debunk myths around imposter syndrome, and offer practical strategies to harness the wisdom of our inner mentor...and much more.

In this episode, Nnenna opens up about profound life lessons and the challenges she faced, including imposter syndrome and being the only person of colour in many leadership settings. 


    Drawing from her rich cultural background and the influence of her parents, she emphasises the critical importance of mentorship, support networks, and the balance of striving for excellence with being a present mum.

  • This episode is with Dr Agatha Nortley-Meshe, a practising GP and Regional Medical Director for Primary Care, for NHS England. 


    She has extensive experience in urgent care, having previously been Medical Director the London Ambulance Service, and Clinical Governance Lead for Croydon NHS 111. 


    As one of very few black female leaders in a senior NHS leadership role, Agatha opens up about how hard it can be to shake her imposter syndrome, and how important it is for leaders from minority groups to have their seat at the table.

  • This episode is with Ben Francis MBE, the founder and now the CEO of Gymshark, the global gym brand that is worth billions.


    Gym Shark started here in the UK in Birmingham, when Ben was in his 20s and working for Pizza Hut.

    This is a conversation I have looked forward to for such a long time- there is no one like Ben in the UK, that has built such an iconic company in his 20s. His net worth is over billion dollars, and at the age of just 31 has been named the UK’s youngest billionaire.


    His story has a real rags to riches theme and on paper he’s the epitome of success…and yet he talks so openly about realising when to step back as a leader, constantly learning from others and working on his weaknesses, and being fully transparent about all of this in the hope that it might inspire other young leaders.

  • This episode is with Shellye Archambeau, former CEO of MetricStream.


    You may not have heard of her, but I think you’ll be glad you did when you’ve listened. 


    I love hearing leadership stories of people outside the NHS, and I think this one in particular gave me lots to think about. 


    I stumbled across Shelleye on another podcast, and read her book Unapologetically Ambitious- and it blew me away.


    From being the oldest of four in a modest American family to becoming one of the first black female CEOs of the tech industry and creating “the most stunning Silicon Valley turnaround,” Shellye knows how to create success on her own terms, and through her book and her videos, she’s now made it her mission to teach others to do the same. 


    She’s been featured frequently in Forbes, the New York Times Business Inside, and more, is subject of a Harvard Business School case study on becoming a CEO, and has been on lots of big podcasts around the world. She’s currently a Fortune 500 board member, and now spends her time talking about her leadership career and lessons she’s learnt.

    Her journey (4 mins)Where her conviction came from (7 mins)Imposter syndrome (11 mins)Having a goal whilst staying flexible (17 mins)Broadcasting your intentions (24 mins)Self-care (30 mins)Taking risks (34 mins)Negotiating in a new job (37 mins)Lessons she learnt at the top (46 mins)Adopting a mentor (54 mins)

  • This episode is a media training masterclass, with Max Prangnell.


    You never know as a leader when you might be thrust under the media spotlight, and it's always better to be prepared. But good, affordable media training is hard to come by.... so we've brought an expert to you.


    Max has been the Director of Communications and External Affairs at the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges for the last twelve years, for the most part combining this with running a successful media training and crisis management company, Millbank Media which counted five Government departments as its main clients. 


    Before that he spent twenty years as a print and broadcast journalist starting on the Sunday Times and ending up as programme editor at ITN via daytime telly, late night chat shows and a stint as a regional news reporter.


    He's done lots of training over decades with people in the NHS and in the civil service, including Prof Helen Stokes Lampard- whom many of you will know.

  • This month we are re-releasing one of our most popular episodes- a conversation with Sir John Timpson, Chairman and owner of Timpson.


    Many observers can't understand how a firm of shoe repairers can keep its staff happier than some of Britain's richest companies. 


    The answer lies with the chairman of Timpson and his no-nonsense approach to management. John has ensured they do more than cut keys- they also have a culture of cutting out policy and processes so people can do the job to the best of their ability, and they embody some of the most progressive thinking in the business world. That ethos is even more remarkable when you learn that around 12% of their employees are ex-convicts. 


    Sir John’s son, James Timpson, has just released a book about the Timpson approach called The Happy Index , where he describes the essence of the Timpson culture: Turn up on time. Trust your team. Do your work.


    *Highlights:

    His early journey (4 mins)"Upside-down management" (5.5 mins)What the culture looks like in practice (7.5 mins)Giving staff autonomy on the front line (15 mins)Why they have a 'Director of Happiness' (19 mins)Looking after staff mental health and wellbeing (21 mins)The Timpson recruitment strategy (26 mins)Performance mangement and the 'Happy Index' (29 mins)Recruiting from prison (34.5 mins)His reflections from fostering over 90 children (39.5 mins)What the NHS can learn from the Timpson culture (43 mins)A book, a role model, and top tips (45 mins)

  • Our 2024 season kicks off with Dr Claire Fuller, who is the National Medical Director of Primary Care for NHSE, a role she's held since September 2023.


    Prior to that she was Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System Chief Executive, having previously been the Accountable Officer for the CCG. She's been a practising GP in the area since 1995.


    In November 2021, Claire was invited by NHS England Chief Executive Amanda Pritchard to lead a national piece of work looking at primary care within integrated care systems, to identify what was working well and why. The output became known as the Fuller Stocktake, and was co-signed by all 42 ICS Chief Executives who committed to the recommendations.


    She was HSJ Clinical Leader of the Year in 2017, and is regularly named in the HSJ list of most influential people in the NHS.


    Claire has spoken at Next Gen GP programmes before, and she’s always full of energy, very honest (as you’ll see!), and a strong advocate for young leaders.

  • After a bit of a break, The Next GenCast is back with some amazing guests for you...


    And that starts with this episode, which is with our most requested guest since the podcast started- Professor Michael West. 


    Michael West is officially Professor of Work and Organisational Psychology at Lancaster University, but he’s known to many as the guru on compassionate leadership for the NHS. He’s worked tirelessly to develop cultures of high quality and compassionate care in health services over the last 35 years with a strong focus on the wellbeing of staff. 


    Amongst a myriad of achievements, he led the development of the NHS National Staff Survey, and recently co-chaired the two-year independent inquiry on behalf of the UK General Medical Council into the mental health and well-being of doctors. He was appointed a CBE in 2020 for services to compassion and innovation in healthcare.

  • This is our Next GenCast Christmas Special!


    We've done something different for this one: instead of hearing from a leader, this episode is with the utterly brilliant best-selling author and journalist, Oliver Burkeman. His latest book "Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals", was easily my best read of 2022, and might give you lots to think about over the Xmas period.


    The average person has about 4000 weeks on planet earth, which doesn't sound like much does it? But I promise this isn’t a pessimistic episode about how short life is, or full of cliches about living in the moment- in his book, Oliver Burkeman shares an amazing philosophy to overcome overwhelm when it comes to choosing how to spend the rest of your four thousand weeks. 


    *Highlights:

    The premise of the book (5 mins)Prioritising (14.5 mins)FOMO (19 mins)Work-life balance (25 mins)Making 'enlarging and diminishing' choices (33 mins)Imposter syndrome (36 mins)Inbox Zero (39 mins)Pay yourself first (46 mins) Procrastinating (47.5 mins)

    Sir Michael Marmot's work has changed how physicians, public health experts and governments think about health inequity. His work has been cited more than 250,000 times, and his influential Review has spread from the Eastern Mediterranean in 2019 to Manchester in 2021.

     

    You might have seen Sir Michael’s reports, read his books including The Health Gap, or perhaps you’ve heard him speak. But for this conversation, we wanted to get to know the man behind the title...

  • Continuing our summer re-release series, this episode is with the amazing Dr Laura Neilson. Laura invariably moves our Next Gen audiences to tears and sparks standing ovations, because of her incredibly powerful story of influencing health inequalities from when she was only a medical student.


    Laura is the CEO of Hope Citadel Healthcare CIC, and a director of the Focused Care CIC - a unique approach to managing vulnerable patients in areas of deprivation.

     

    She founded Hope Citadel whilst she was a medical student living on a council estate in Oldham. She noticed the inequality in healthcare for the poorest, seeing the "inverse care law" in stark reality, and decided that it was possible to make a difference – so she set up a GP practice. Hope Citadel now run 11 GP practices in some of the most hard-pressed areas of Greater Manchester, aiming to provide whole-person healthcare to all.

  • Over the summer period we are re-releasing some some of our most popular conversations....


    This conversation is with Karyn McCluskey, chief executive of Community Justice Scotland. I heard Karyn on a podcast a few years ago, and never forgot her story.


    Karyn trained as a nurse in the NHS, but has worked in the police for the last 22 years. She was Director of the Scottish Violence Reduction Unit for the last decade, which proposed a different way of addressing violence in Scotland. They developed injury surveillance, gang intervention and gang exit, and focused on preventing knife carrying and injury. She helps support the Medics Against Violence charity in Scotland, set up in conjunction with the Violence Reduction Unit.


    So how did Karyn get such startling results in a city once known as the murder capital of western Europe?


    Listen to Karyn's story, the lessons she's learnt, and the advice she'd give to any leader with a drive to tackle 'wicked' problems- prepare to have your mind blown!

    More recently, she was asked by the Government to lead the testing aspect of their Covid-19 'Test and Trace' programme.

  • This is Episode 29, with Dr Bola Owolabi, Director of Health Inequalities at NHS England and NHS Improvement,


    COVID-19 has shone a harsh light on some of the inequalities that persist in our society, and Bola has been leading the NHS effort to accelerate progress in tackling this over the last few years in her national role.


    Bola also works as a GP in the Midlands, and has held various leadership roles at local, system and national levels in her career.

     

    Having heard her speak at a few meetings and conferences now, I’ve always come away with an impression of someone who is quietly confident, hugely committed to her purpose of reducing health inequalities, and clearly mindful of bringing other people with her along that journey.

  • Leadership starts with leading yourself, and there is no better person to help us understand ourselves than this week's guest- Hannah Miller. Hannah is one of our most popular speakers at Next Generation GP, and you'll see why!


    She's an amazing coach, supporting emerging leaders from all sorts of backgrounds using a strengths based approach to development and finding purpose. She's a fantastic speaker, and was chosen to receive the Vistage Rising Star Award for speaking in 2019.


    She's introduced a lot of Next Gen GPs to a profling tool called StrengthsFinder, developed by Gallup, which offers personalised insights about what you naturally do best.


    So many Next Gen leaders have been amazed by how accurately it describes them, and how it helps them to understand differences in their teams, what they are really good at, and what opportunities they should decline or pursue as a result.

  • This episode is a podcast takeover.... with one of our wonderful Next Gen GPs in Nottingham, Dr Sarah Armitage, taking on the role of host!


    Dame Helen Stokes Lampard, as she subsequently became known after the podcast was recorded, will be a familiar name and voice to many of you. Whether you’ve heard her in the media, giving speeches in her role as former Chair of the RCGP, or you might have heard her speak at a Next Gen event for us, given that she’s kindly accepted so many of our invitations over the years. 


    She is currently Chair of the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges (AoMRC), Chair of the National Academy of Social Prescribing, and a GP partner practising in Lichfield in Staffordshire.


    Many of you will know her as the former Chair of the RCGP from 2016-2019, during which time she was never far from our radios and TV screens, trying to ensure the ‘voice’ of general practice and GPs was understood and fairly represented. She has been described as one of the most inspiring and influential GPs in the country.
