Bedsides & Boardrooms Podcast

Nathan Conradie

Every major healthcare decision gets made twice — once at the bedside, once in the boardroom. This is where those two conversations finally meet. Host Nathan — an Emergency Care Practitioner, academic, and start-up founder — sits down with healthcare executives, clinicians, investors, and policy leaders to unpack the real decisions shaping modern medicine: governance, innovation, growth, risk, and reform. His own path across the frontline, research, and entrepreneurship gives him a dual-lens few hosts can offer — one that understands both what it costs to save a life and what it costs to run the system around it. Built for hospital and health system executives, clinicians stepping into leadership, healthcare investors and founders, and the policy makers shaping the rules everyone else works within — Bedsides & Boardrooms is for anyone whose decisions move both patient outcomes and the bottom line.
