In this episode of The Healthtech Podcast, Dr James Somauroo sits down with Declan Hadley, healthcare lead at Cisco, who draws on over three decades of experience within the NHS and health informatics. The conversation covers the evolution of healthcare technology, the critical role of digitisation, and how AI is shaping patient outcomes. Declan makes a compelling case for deeper collaboration between startups and established healthcare organisations, argues for local ownership of AI, and tackles the challenges of ensuring safety as technologies move faster than governance can keep up. He also shares a personal reflection on his journey - including an unexpected detour into Fantasy Premier League via his son.

A rich, wide-ranging listen for anyone interested in how technology and the NHS can work better together.
