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.
