In other sectors, companies are developing what they call “job corridors” to rapidly upskill their staff into new roles, why can’t we do this? Workforce plans need to be more closely aligned with digital plans or they will continue to be grossly inaccurate. Professor Britnell was most recently a vice chairman at KPMG UK and previous roles have included director general at the Department of Health, Member of the NHS Management Board, and member of the World Economic Forum Global Health Council.

Scholar said: "If government is planning a major reform of the NHS, people will want to know if it is worse afterwards or not. These statistics are very important in reaching a rational view." Communities can be carers. The radical experimentation in Germany that allows older patients to pay relatives or friends (once trained) to become home carers has resulted in greater patient satisfaction and reduced hospital admissions. One of the standout examples of doing it right I’ve seen is in Singapore, which in 2013 placed the management of all its public providers into six clusters, under the direction of a reshaped hospital at the centre of each. Under the leadership of the Agency for Integrated Care, this change was just one milestone in a decade of reforms – all with the aim of bringing care closer to home. Transform organisations from bureaucratic hierarchies to flat, agile learning organisations. Digital disruption will call for new team-working and staff re-education.

As a member of the Global Agenda Council on the Future of the Health Sector for the World Economic Forum, how important is teaching management skills to students for the future of the health sector and what impact could this have? I’ve written and published two books. The first book in 2015, “In Search of The Perfect Health System” sold in 109 countries. My second book, “Humans: Solving the Global Workforce Crisis in Healthcare”, was published two years ago and sold in 100 countries. Dealing with life and death, as we’ve seen during the pandemic, healthcare is arguably the most important sector. Of course, we need to professionalise management in healthcare. That’s been going on for over 40 years, but this is the next stage in evolution, where we’re producing uber-modern managers and leaders to face the many challenges in healthcare for the future. London 20 March 2019 – A shortfall of 18 million health workers by 2030 will have a devastating impact on the world’s healthcare sector unless swift action is taken, KPMG Global Chairman for Healthcare Dr Mark Britnell has warned. Is this just the beginning of a global workforce crisis? Is there a global workforce crisis? Vize, Richard (11 June 2009). "Mark Britnell quits NHS for private sector". Health Service Journal .

By reframing the productivity debate, reimagining clinical services, changing national investment strategies, empowering patients and harnessing the power of technology and AI we can avoid the inevitably bleak future we face if we carry on as we are,” he concluded. Following the success of Britnell’s award-winning debut book In Search of the Perfect Health System, which sold in 109 countries, Human shines a much-needed spotlight on a fundamental global issue, and is a must read for anybody who cares about the future of health around the world. Mark is the author of In Search of the Perfect Health System, published by Palgrave Macmillian. The book has sold in over 109 countries, including translations into Mandarin, Korean and Portuguese, and was recognised by Chinese Medical Doctors Association as best health book in China in 2017, and in the UK by the British Medical Association, 2016. Mark’s new book, Human: solving the global workforce crisis in healthcare is published by Oxford University Press in March 2019. There’s a growing life science and genomics industry, where we’re thinking about precision medicine and what that means for individual care.

His early career included various management posts in the NHS, a spell with the Australian health service, a year in the civil service fast stream during which he was sponsored by the Australian College of Health Service Executives to work in Melbourne and Sydney before being seconded to the NHS Executive in 1992. Britnell joined St Mary's Hospital in London as a General Manager before being appointed as a Director at Central Middlesex Hospital (now part of North West London Hospitals NHS Trust) in 1995, when he was named Project Director for an Ambulatory Care and Diagnostic (ACAD) Private Finance Initiative (PFI) scheme - the first of its kind in the UK. [4] He became chief executive at University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust. [5] having been chief operating officer there, and led the organization from 1998 to 2006. It became an NHS Foundation Trust in the so-called 'first wave', and a PFI hospital rebuild, including a Royal Centre for Defence Medicine in partnership with the Ministry of Defence. [6] In 2006 he was appointed as chief executive of the NHS South Central strategic health authority (covering the area from Oxford to the Isle of Wight). He was Director-General for Commissioning and System Management for the National Health Service (NHS) of England (July 2007-September 2009). [7] During this time he oversaw the development of the World Class Commissioning policy, the creation of the Cooperation and Competition Panel and reforms to primary care, patient and public engagement, integrated care and community services. [8] It really appealed to me, and I was delighted to be offered the position of visiting professor. I believe we need more flexibility and agility between the public and private sector, working in now what is one of the biggest employment sectors, and crucially one of the most important sectors in the world. Reframe and reposition the debate about workforce planning to one of productivity, health and national wealth creation. In this respect, Singapore is developing advanced joined-up strategies. Your profile mentions you masterminded the largest new hospital build in NHS history. Can you tell me more about this and how important business or management skills were in the success of this?

Encourage the large-scale adoption of new models of care that can boost productivity by 16%. The integrated system in Clalit, Israel is delivering results because the HMO is technologically savvy and joins up primary and secondary care. Dr Mark Britnell KPMG Global Chairman for Healthcare Dr Mark Britnell, cautions how healthcare is “on the brink of a global workforce crisis” – how prepared is the healthcare sector for these shortages? In his new book, Human: Solving the Global Workforce Crisis in Healthcare, Britnell, KPMG’s Global Chairman for Healthcare, confronts the all-important question: How will we provide adequate healthcare for 8.5 billion people by 2030? UCL welcomes global healthcare expert Mark Britnell as a Professor at GBSH. In his new role, he will make a teaching and careers advisory contribution to our MBA Health programme. The health service has the richest most complicated supply chains in the world. We’d also expect some to become logistic experts. As you can see around the world, infrastructure still needs to be built and developed, so there are opportunities there in construction and architecture.

New integrated— or accountable— care organizations will become the norm, especially when it comes to coordinating care between hospitals and referring physicians and clinicians with the help of artificial intelligence in combination with disease management for patients with chronic ailments. However, the government’s new health and care bill seeks to give the health secretary much enhanced “powers of direction” over NHS England, thus curtaining its boss’s independence. Mark Britnell is one of the UK’s most knowledgeable health management professionals, with boundless enthusiasm for healthcare and a mission to encourage countries to collaborate for the benefit of patients and citizens in general. In Search of the Perfect Health System is a series of essays based on his observation of health systems around the world, from which he distils the global challenges that we face. This is an admirable objective, and Mike Pym argues that this practitioner’s perspective is both a timely and accessible study for anyone with an interest in the healthcare field. In a move that will pile more pressure on Lansley, the Department of Health last week released the latest Mori poll on satisfaction levels with the NHS. It shows that 66% of people questioned believed the NHS was the best health service in the world, while 37% of the public expected services to deteriorate following the reforms. However, nearly three-quarters said that they knew "not very much" or "nothing at all" about changes that the government plans to make. Health systems around the world are under pressure on many fronts and to bring an international perspective to what is often a myopic national debate is refreshing. It seems almost defeatist to state that the perfect health system doesn’t exist, but this is where Mark Britnell begins, before constructing a theoretical ideal drawn from the best features of healthcare from around the world. His audiences are ‘practitioners that have an interest in policy, and policy-makers who want to support better practice’, rather than the academic community. His ambition is to inform those with influence and encourage collaboration to improve and transform healthcare internationally. 25 concise sketches about national healthcare systems, drawn from Britnell’s wide professional experience, form the core of In Search of the Perfect Health System. They are vibrant with observation and analysis, each one teasing out the critical challenges faced in each country, and all contributing to a series of common themes dealt with in the latter part of the book.
