Healthcare Roundup 16 October 2020

16th October 2020 - Healthcare Roundup

The English government spent the week arguing with council leaders over tier two and tier three lockdowns, and then announced that London would move into tier two from the end of the week. Against this background, NHS leaders started to shut down elective activity or warned that they would need to as Covid-19 cases rose.

Matthew Gould, the chief executive of NHSX, revealed a few more details about his plan to have ‘basic shared care records’ in place across England by next September, and Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Foundation Trust went live with Epic. Plus: we interviewed Roy Lilley about Fab Change Day 2020 next week, which we are proud to be supporting.

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).
