Healthcare Roundup 04 September 2020

4th September 2020 - Healthcare Roundup

Health and social care secretary announced a £500 million investment in fast, mass Covid-19 testing, in the hope that this might enable “more of the things that make life living” to resume. NHS England/Improvement pushed ahead with the roll-out of ‘talk before you walk’ access to A&E, despite concerns about the model and whether NHS 111 is up to the job.

Dame Fiona Caldicott issued her final report as NHS data guardian and warned that the pandemic should not lead to the permanent abandonment of information governance rules. The Health Service Journal saw a report paving the way for the LHCRE programme to be ditched. And former McKesson trusts re-entered the EPR market place, five years on from the end of NPfIT in the NME.

Lewis Barraclough

Lewis studied Business and Management at the University of Central Lancashire. After graduating in 2019, he landed his first role in health tech, working for an acute and primary care software provider in an administrative role, processing orders and trouble-shooting issues with patient data extraction.

During his time at university, Lewis discovered a keen interest in marketing and communications and proactively looked for business opportunities in these areas. He worked with a salon to increase its revenue and with a clothing start-up that needed a website and social media presence. He grew the company’s social media from nothing to 600 followers in three months, while building an e-commerce website that quickly started generating sales.
A little bit about Lewis:
  • I am enthusiastic about physical fitness and the portion of my spare time that isn’t spent eating is usually spent in the gym or doing parkour
  • I play guitar and produce electronic music from time to time, with the goal of eventually producing something that I can listen to and consider to be of a professional standard
  • My secret superpower is being able to tell the number of letters in any word faster than anyone else in a room (it gets hard around 12 letters though).
