  1. Trust, Medical Error & the Future of Clinical Care

    28 AVR.

    Trust, Medical Error & the Future of Clinical Care

    Trust in healthcare has fractured between patients and clinicians, clinicians and institutions, and across society more broadly. In the wake of COVID, public health messaging, misinformation, politicisation and time poor consultations have left many patients sceptical and many clinicians defensive. Where did that erosion begin? And how it shows up today: in misdiagnosis, in eight minute consults, in ego, and in incentive structures. The panel asks whether a clinician AI partnership could help rebuild trust by extending time, improving accuracy, making evidence transparent, and shifting medicine away from paternalism toward shared understanding. Key Topics: COVID-era public health messaging and the long tail of mistrust Medicine as a “special club” vs. transparency in the digital age Misdiagnosis, dismissal, and why patients feel gaslit Medical error and the “Swiss cheese” model of harm prevention The eight minute consult and the limits of factory style care Asynchronous follow-up and extended time horizons in care Ego, hierarchy, and cultural resistance to AI Antibiotics, incentives, and the tension between doing right by the patient vs. the system Meeting patients where they are including digital platforms Relevant Links and Resources: Connect with us: Find all things Heidi at heidihealth.com Connect with Heidi on LinkedIn Connect with Dr Tom Kelly on LinkedIn Connect with Christina Farr: LinkedIn Second Opinion Media website Lifers Podcast Twitter/X Instagram Check out Christina’s book 'The Storytellers Advantage'.

  2. Regulation, Incentives & the Systems Driving Modern Healthcare

    14 AVR.

    Regulation, Incentives & the Systems Driving Modern Healthcare

    Regulation is designed to protect patients. Incentives are designed to drive behaviour. When they misalign, the whole system distorts. What happens when 20 year approval cycles collide with startup timelines, when “wellness” blurs into medicine, and when payment models reward activity over outcomes?  Technology moves fast. Regulation and funding move slowly. The friction between the two is shaping what healthcare becomes next. Key Topics: Regulation as trust infrastructure 20-year pathways from innovation to reimbursement The wellness vs medical grey zone Fee-for-service vs value-based care Quantity metrics vs quality outcomes Prevention and population health 30% healthcare waste Whether AI lowers costs or drives them up Relevant Links and Resources: Connect with us: Find all things Heidi at heidihealth.com Connect with Heidi on LinkedIn Connect with Dr Tom Kelly on LinkedIn Connect with Christina Farr: LinkedIn Second Opinion Media website Lifers Podcast Twitter/X Instagram Check out Christina’s book 'The Storytellers Advantage'.

  3. Capacity Collapse: Can AI Save Modern Medicine?

    Capacity Collapse: Can AI Save Modern Medicine?

    Healthcare systems are operating under sustained pressure. Expanding the workforce has not translated into improved access or stability. In some regions, increasing training places has exposed deeper infrastructure gaps,like placement bottlenecks, geographic mismatches, funding constraints and outdated care models that no longer reflect the burden of modern disease. How does capacity strain show up in day to day clinical work and why doesn’t supply alone resolve demand?  The panel explores alternative models of care: task shifting to mid level providers, telemedicine beyond video visits, asynchronous pathways, AI driven follow up agents and technology enabled antenatal support. As patients increasingly seek 24/7 guidance through digital tools, the conversation turns to risk, guardrails and accountability, and how to integrate new forms of care without compounding system instability. Key Topics: Workforce expansion and the limits of “more doctors” Training bottlenecks and infrastructure gaps (including the UK 5,000 GP example) Chronic disease and the limits of hospital-era care models Asynchronous and agentic care pathways Task redistribution across nurses, midwives, allied health and peer networks Clinician burnout and the “leaky bucket” problem Liability and guardrails in AI-enabled care Relevant Links and Resources: Connect with us: Find all things Heidi at heidihealth.com Connect with Heidi on LinkedIn Connect with Dr Tom Kelly on LinkedIn Connect with Christina Farr: LinkedIn Second Opinion Media website Lifers Podcast Twitter/X Instagram Check out Christina’s book 'The Storytellers Advantage'.

  4. The Current State of the Healthcare System

    3 MARS

    The Current State of the Healthcare System

    Rising chronic disease, ageing populations, clinician burnout, and regulatory inertia are colliding in real time and putting healthcare systems around the globe under immense pressure. In this opening episode of Care Beyond Barriers, Christina Farr sits down with Dr Tom Kelly, Dr Hannah Allen and Dr Simon Kos to unpack what’s happening inside clinics and whether artificial intelligence can responsibly support clinicians without replacing them. From the nostalgic “platonic ideal” of a single trusted GP to today’s cognitively overloaded, system-driven care model, the panel explores how the role of the doctor is evolving. They tackle uncomfortable questions around AI accuracy, human fallibility, regulation, autonomous prescribing, and what remains uniquely human in medicine. Key Topics: The global supply demand mismatch in healthcare The cognitive overload of modern clinical practice Why the role of the doctor has fundamentally changed AI accuracy vs. human fallibility and the myth of perfection Regulation, experimentation, and patient safety Autonomous prescribing: inevitable evolution or ethical risk? The future identity of the clinician in an AI-augmented world Connect with us: Find all things Heidi at heidihealth.com Connect with Heidi on LinkedIn Connect with Dr Tom Kelly on LinkedIn Connect with Christina Farr: LinkedIn Second Opinion Media website Lifers Podcast Twitter/X Instagram Check out Christina’s book 'The Storytellers Advantage'.
