34: NHS at 75: The huge promise of technology – with Navina Evans and Penny Pereira

The Health Foundation podcast

In our series marking the NHS’s 75th birthday, we’ve been setting out the big challenges and opportunities ahead for the health service.
In this third and final installment, we ask how the potential of technology might be unlocked to benefit patients, the public, staff and the taxpayer. We also share initial reflections on the recently published NHS Long Term Workforce Plan.
To discuss, our Chief Executive Jennifer Dixon is joined by:

• Navina Evans, Chief Workforce Training and Education Officer at NHS England. Navina is a doctor and a specialist in psychiatry, and was involved in the new NHS Long Term Workforce Plan.
• Penny Pereira, Q Managing Director here at the Health Foundation. Penny is an expert in process and system redesign and health care, having worked in these areas for many years, both at the Foundation and previously within the NHS.
