#265 Making the best of what you have with Dr Adrian Hayter

The Business of Healthcare Podcast with Tara Humphrey

Dr Adrian Hayter is a GP with more than a quarter of a century's worth of experience within his local Windsor-based practice and is the NHS England's National Clinical Director for Older People and Integrated Person-Centred Care. He is a Non Exective Director for Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust and supports the Frimley Academy with their leadership programmes.

Adrian will also be a featured speaker at Best Practice 2023, who we are incredibly proud to be partnering with as the official podcast partner for the show!

If you are keen for a masterclass in how to overcome challenges (particularly related to change), how you can achieve your goals within an existing and potentially limited pool of resources and how to remain positive and focused at the same time, then grab a pen and paper because this is the podcast episode for you!

Adrian and I discussed:

• His role as NHS England's National Clinical Lead for older people.
• The evolution of general practice and whether it is (and still can be) the 'dream job'.
• How to make the best of the resources you have; knowing when to use what you have and when to push for more.
• The mechanics of policy design; particularly when it is boundary-spanning and at national level.
• What excellent integrated care looks like.
• Why it takes time to effect change.
• The value of shared skills between clinical and non-clinical staff.
• And an example of something that has made Adrian happy, proud and / or excited recently!
