Excellence in Supply 2021 podcast - Sir Jim Mackey

Collaborations between NHS organisations and their suppliers have resulted in some remarkable examples of innovation as shown by the shortlist for the NHS in the North Excellence in Supply Awards.

They include innovative health and wellbeing checks for health staff in York; the creation of a regional hub in the north east to supply vital PPE; the use of digital tablets to provide music for children, their families and staff at Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital; and a shop continuing to supply wigs for patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Innovation has been at the heart of response to the pandemic.

In his keynote speech to attendees Sir James Mackey, Chief Executive of Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and Chair of the NHS Customer Board for Procurement and Supply, will tell the NHS in the North Excellence in Supply Awards that he hopes the spirit of collaboration and cooperation will continue.

Hear his assessment of the value of procurement partnerships over the past year and his hopes for the future in this podcast:
