Radical Reformers ep.98: Caring for the community with Bas Sadiq, Chief Executive of the Homerton Healthcare Foundation Trust and the place-based leader for City and Hackney

In this latest episode of Radical Reformers, Bas Sadiq, the Chief Executive of the Homerton Healthcare Foundation Trust and the place-based leader for City and Hackney, joins me and shares her incredible journey from an outpatient receptionist to leading one of the most iconic hospitals in London.

Bas discusses the unique role of The Homerton as a community anchor and gives us an insight into her leadership approach, which is firmly rooted in relationship-building. Logistics and structures never trump relationships!

We learn about the importance of the innovative neighbourhood teams, which are transforming healthcare delivery in Hackney and the City of London. It is inspiring to hear from an Acute Trust Chief Executive who genuinely sees the bigger picture and understands that the “left shift” towards prevention will require hospitals to cede power to local partners and communities.

If you’re excited by the potential of neighbourhood health and are determined that it doesn’t become a big organisation serving box-ticking exercise, then this is one for you.
