In this episode of the Unprescribed podcast, hosted by Jacob Haddad, we’re joined by Tara Donnelly, a leading voice on tech-enabled models of care at home and former Chief Digital Officer for NHSX.
Tara’s NHS career spans more than 30 years – from ward housekeeper at the Royal Surrey, to Director of Operations at the Whittington at 30, to Chief Executive of West Middlesex University Hospital, to leading the Health Innovation Network for South London. At NHSX, she helped build the first tech-enabled virtual ward in the NHS in April 2020 – a model that today supports around 9,000 people every day. She now runs Digital Care, an advisory firm helping health systems and innovators scale digital care at home.
For anyone looking for a hopeful, grounded view of what digital can change in the NHS – and whether the system really can – this one’s worth your time.
