Richard Washington and Philip Luce | Bupa | Voices of Care

Episode 98

Monday, May 11, 2026 • Duration 39:55

“It’s probably never been more important for public and private to work together.”

That was the clear message from a recent Voices of Care conversation with Bupa leaders Richard Washington and Philip Luce.

Key messages include:

- The role of employers driving private health insurance: Bupa’s data suggests private healthcare can materially improve workforce productivity, with SMEs gaining the equivalent of weeks of additional capacity each year.

- Connected care pathways. “The big challenge in healthcare is those seamless end-to-end journeys,” Richard Washington noted — from GP to diagnostics to specialist care.

- Need for greater alignment between public and private provision. “I don’t think people should see the private sector as competitors to the NHS,” Philip Luce argued.

Alongside this, Richard and Phillip discussed other longer-term trends including genomics (a “huge unlock” for earlier intervention), role of prevention and growing interest in value-based healthcare.

Taken together, these signals point to a system transitioning toward a more integrated, multi-actor model of care.

The question now is not whether this shift is happening — but how it is shaped.

William Roberts | Royal Society for Public Health | Voices of Care

Episode 97

Monday, April 27, 2026 • Duration 44:09

Many commentators decry the "nanny state" yet a clear message from William Roberts, CEO at the Royal Society for Public Health, in our latest Voices of Care podcast challenges this narrative. As he says: " People want to be healthy, and the public overwhelmingly want their governments to support them to stay healthy" William speaks so passionately about the Prevention agenda and the role that Public Health is and can play to support workers, employers and all communities. He confirms that employers can be more pro-active as "we know that the reason people are dropping out of work is because they have lots of health problems. Perhaps most importantly, as figures show life expectancy falling in our country, he highlights that we need to address the fact that there are stark inequalities in life expectancy. His message offers hope as he highlights the broader public health workforce that could be trained and deployed to address all of the above and invites us all to truly be leaders as " public health is everybody's responsibility" William also covers the role of the NHS, the Men's Health Strategy and much more in an episode you will not want to miss
