Welcome back to another episode of the Community, Health and Capital podcast with Dr Jonny Currie, NHS GP and Co-Director of 19 Hills CIC.

Joining us in this episode is Professor Sally Lewis, GP, former National Clinical Director for Value-Based and Prudent Healthcare in NHS Wales, founder of the internationally recognised Welsh Value in Health Centre and author of a new book, Implementing Value-Based Healthcare: an Insider's Guide to improving patient outcomes and creating sustainable systems.

Sally walks us through how she went from GP in an area of deprivation in south Wales to advocating across the NHS in Wales and Welsh Government to make healthcare planning and spending more based on data about what is working well, around how patients and the public feel their treatment is working and based on financial value. Sally shares how surprised patient associations and groups are when they learn this is isn't always the case, while describing some insights from other countries she has worked in in recent years.

Sally's book is available at https://kintsugi-international.com/book and you can contact her at sallylewis@kintsugi-international.com if you are interested in how her organisation, Kintsugi International can help you achieve excellence in value-based healthcare.

Welcome back to another episode of the Community, Health and Capital podcast with Jonny Currie and Matt Thorne, NHS primary care clinicians and Co-Directors of 19 Hills CIC. Joining us in this episode is Dr Lisa, Newport GP, specialist lifestyle medicine doctor, (new!) author and creator of Revive Prescribed, an online platform promoting holistic and patient-led approaches to improving health.

Recorded at a venue kindly provided by Dan Harris, Managing Director of Focus Shift Films and member/creative lead on our 19 Hills Partnership Board, we speak to Lisa about her journey into lifestyle medicine, starting with some personal events in the health of her family, and how these experienced shaped her response while leading a COVID-19 field hospital in the early phase of the pandemic.

Lisa berates those who claim lifestyle or wellness approaches have no place in areas of greater deprivation, describing some of the many impacts she has had, going on to talk about her Calm Belly method for people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome and lots of the emerging science coming out about the gut microbiome and how this could be transferred into practice.

Joining us in this episode is Paul Miller, Managing Partner and Chief Executive Officer at Bethnal Green Ventures (BGV). BGV started in 2012, with social innovation camps aiming to bring together people at the sharp end of social and environmental challenges with some of the best tech talent in the UK.

The founders drew on learning from the success of accelerator programmes in the US and started with the idea of Europe's first 'tech for good' accelerator programme.

The group have since 2012 raised over £50M from investors which they continue to put into a rolling programme, offering £60,000 investment to handpicked projects who receive 6 weeks mentoring and wider support.

Hear about how the programme has grown, what has motivated companies to invest, whether well-intentioned tech can mitigate the sometimes harmful impacts of other technologies and how interested listeners can apply.
