The Provider Podcast - The Digital Shift
12 June 2025
Introducing The Digital Shift, our new podcast mini series! 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.
Digital
In episode one, our host Chris Fleming (a partner at Public Digital and delivery partner of our Digital Boards and Digital ICS programmes) is joined by Lara Sampson, a digital transformation and product management expert and partner at Public Digital.
Lara led the product development of Universal Credit from its inception in 2013 through to six million users in 2021. She talks about the role of a senior leader in delivering digital products and services – even if they have little hands-on experience in this area or limited knowledge of technology. Listen for tips on how to enable good practice, and which questions to ask to avoid common pitfalls.
