In episode four of our podcast mini-series, The Digital Shift, you’ll hear from Tom Loosemore, one of the founders of Public Digital. Tom started and scaled the UK’s Government Digital Service, led the creation of GOV.UK and wrote the first Government digital strategy.
Digital
Tom Loosemore, reflects on the tactics (or ‘levers’, as he calls them) that helped him and his senior peers to push the Digital agenda forward in the UK public sector and ultimately, deliver digital services that are simpler, clearer, and faster for everyone. Tom explores ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ levers how and when senior leaders within the health sector can apply them.
This podcast series is delivered by NHS Providers in partnership with the NHS Confederation and Public Digital, and supported by NHS England as part of their NHS Digital Academy, the series explores how senior leaders in the health sector can confidently lead their organisations in the shift from analogue to digital.
