Mike Pym has a Master’s degree in Politics from Durham University and is now a finance professional with experience in a wide range of NHS settings. Britnell added, “It has been a great honour and pleasure to serve clients around the world. I shall continue as a UK health partner and do occasional global engagements.” The May 2016 Devolved Elections in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and London: Convergences and Divergences And so to England and the National Health Service (NHS), which Britnell knows well having spent much of his working life there. He was also treated for prostate cancer at the comparatively young age of 42, so the NHS has special significance for him. Having seen how the absence of healthcare affects the poor in countries like India, South Africa and Brazil, Britnell is a passionate advocate of universal systems like the NHS. He takes a positive view, pointing out that ‘investment in healthcare for all is a value and not just a cost’. It is not just a moral obligation to improve the lives of the individual poor; there are clear social, economic and political benefits too. The NHS has its problems though, and Britnell has specific criticisms familiar to those working in the organisation: in particular, the endless and wasteful initiatives where ‘more energy is spent in producing national policies than ever implementing them’.

At any one time, KPMG will have hundreds of jobs on the go across the world. I am responsible for the growth of our global health strategy and spend about 80% of my time working with clients and 20% making sure that our internal performance is good and our global network of KPMG professionals are helping each other. The world faces a deficit of 18 million health workers. Overcoming this will be the single biggest challenge for healthcare over the next 10 years. That’s according to author and KPMG’s global healthcare expert Dr Mark Britnell, who has dedicated his entire professional life to improving healthcare all over the world.
He went on to run the NHS region from Oxford to the Isle of Wight before joining the NHS Management Board as a Director-General at the Department of Health, where he developed High Quality Care for All with Lord Darzi. He joined KPMG as Global Chairman and Senior Partner for Health for KPMG in the UK in 2009 and has established a successful worldwide health practice. Professor Britnell was most recently a vice chairman at KPMG UK and previous roles have included director general at the Department of Health, Member of the NHS Management Board, and member of the World Economic Forum Global Health Council. Alongside his position at GBSH, he will continue in his roles as adjunct professor at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management and trustee of the Kings Fund. Allow health professionals to practise at the upper limits of their licence (not to be confused with working at the top of your capacity). Buurtzorg in the Netherlands allows nurses to extend their roles producing productivity gains of nearly 30%.However, NHS sources believe that there has been a recent shift in opinion among those making the selection towards appointing 55-year-old Britnell. He became chief executive of University Hospital Birmingham NHS trust at just 34, which is unusually early to take on such a senior role. He then became the NHS’s director-general for commissioning and system management in 2007, when the organisation was still part of the Department of Health. Dr. Mark Britnell, KPMG Global Chairman for Healthcare, Government & Infrastructure and award-winning author, uses his unique insights from advising governments, executives and clinicians across 77 countries to present solutions to this impending crisis through his new book, Human: Solving the Global Workforce Crisis in Healthcare. Human moves us away from a purely economic and technological approach to healthcare and focuses on the human in rebalancing the whole health debate. At 34 years of age, he became chief executive at University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, one of the youngest people to be appointed to a chief executive role in the NHS. He also secured the largest PFI single hospital build in England and established the first Royal Centre for Defence Medicine in partnership with the Ministry of Defence. Critics of this approach will say that training more staff than local systems can afford is foolish, however we know the world faced a future with a shortfall of 30 million health professionals before COVID-19. This number has increased materially as a result of the pandemic due to burn-out and increasing demand. The worst that can happen would be a domestic oversupply, increasing competition for roles, although that feels very unlikely. If the (UK's National Health Service) and other health systems want to retain people throughout their working lives," Britnell says, "they must support them through life events – parenthood, deaths, older age – and every stage of their career.”
