Vize, Richard (11 June 2009). "Mark Britnell quits NHS for private sector". Health Service Journal . Retrieved 8 January 2010. Mark Britnell is Global Chairman & Senior Partner for Health, Government & Infrastructure at KPMG International. His new book “Human: Solving the global workforce crisis in healthcare” is published by Oxford University Press and available from 18 March 2019. Brevity is perhaps the most attractive feature of this book, yet its most significant limitation. Without further research into each country, one runs the risk of being ill-informed on the workings of these health systems, and the populations they serve. However, in his defense, Britnell opens with the claim that “each chapter can be read in the time it takes to drink a cup of coffee. This is not an academic treatise…” (preface). The book is unquestionably informative, but readers must understand its purpose to be that of an introductory discourse, since it embodies Britnell’s own perspective thus presenting only selective information about the complexity of how they function.

I’m very proud of my part in building, what is still today, the single largest hospital development in NHS history; replacing two old hospitals with the brand-new Queen Elizabeth Hospital. I consider it a labour of love. I think it is massively important. Each country will spend, on average, 10.2% of its GDP on healthcare. Healthcare is now the biggest employment sector in the world. It is also, by financial size, at nearly 10 trillion dollars, one of the largest industrial sectors on the planet. 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.

"Amanda Pritchard appointed as NHS England chief executive". Health Service Journal . Retrieved 25 January 2022. {{ cite web}}: CS1 maint: numeric names: authors list ( link) Professor Britnell began as a visiting professor at UCL GBSH last year. In his new role he will make a teaching and careers advisory contribution to the school’s pioneering MBA Health programme, the first MBA dedicated to healthcare. Drawing on his years of professional experience, he will also be supporting UCL GBSH’s executive education and development training programmes, which are designed to support global healthcare leaders in achieving strong leadership training.All of life and death is in healthcare. We’d expect people to be leaders in health services, to lead hospitals and health systems. We’d also expect people to be thinking of the convergence of data and communications technology. We know now, from what the pandemic has taught us, how beneficial digital forms of healthcare can be. This fragmentation, Britnell points out, is creating an increasing demand for private health insurance among consumers who are able to afford it, thereby reinforcing existing health inequities. The intersection of health policy and access barriers to essential health services grounded in socioeconomic, geographic and demographic inequities is woven into Britnell’s analysis. In the concluding chapters of the book, he aptly notes “two forces – globalisation and wealth inequality – will create fertile ground for the development of universal healthcare but its successful introduction cannot be taken for granted” (p. 155). Mark is one of the foremost global experts on health care systems and has a pioneering and inspiring global vision for health in both the developed and developing world. Mark has dedicated his entire professional life to health care and has led organisations at local, regional, national and global levels – provider and payer, public and private. Over the past nine years, he has worked in 77 countries on circa. 300 occasions, gaining a unique first-hand experience. Reframe and reposition the debate about workforce planning to one of productivity, health and national wealth creation. In this respect, Singapore is developing advanced joined-up strategies.

Drawing on his experiences from the most advanced healthcare systems to revolutionary new approaches across the globe, Dr. Mark Britnell identifies what works and what doesn’t to offer a truly global perspective in solving the workforce challenge over the coming decade. The health service has the richest most complicated supply chains in the world. We’d also expect some to become logistic experts. As you can see around the world, infrastructure still needs to be built and developed, so there are opportunities there in construction and architecture. Make no doubt about it, this is a disruptor. This is a programme for good and it is disrupting the way we see healthcare education from a business perspective. UCL GBSH claims it’s the first dedicated school for health - it sits outside traditional management schools and MBAs - and I think it turbocharges the MBA of the future for healthcare.

Halim, Shakera (20 March 2019). "Is healthcare on the brink of a global workforce crisis?". Health Europa . Retrieved 29 August 2020. Following the success of Britnell’s award-winning debut book In Search of the Perfect Health System, which sold in 109 countries, Human shines a much-needed spotlight on a fundamental global issue, and is a must read for anybody who cares about the future of health around the world. Overcoming the health worker deficit and looming staffing crisis presents the single biggest challenge for healthcare during the next decade,” he said yesterday at the launch of his new book Human: Solving the Global Workforce Crisis in Healthcare.

Downing Street tried to distance itself from Britnell. A No 10 spokesman said: "We will never privatise the NHS. We remain committed to the principle of an NHS funded from general taxation and based on need not ability to pay. Mark Britnell is not the prime minister's health adviser. We are listening to the views of experts, patients and staff on how to improve our plans to strengthen the NHS." 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. In October 2015, Britnell published 'In Search of the Perfect Health System', [14] an analysis of 25 national health systems around the world and seven key trends facing healthcare globally. It won the health and social care category in the British Medical Association's Medical Book Awards 2016 and Best Health Book in China in 2017 from the Chinese Medical Doctors Association. [15] [16] The book is published in Mandarin, Portuguese and Korean, and sold in 109 countries. [17] In March 2019 he published 'Human: solving the global workforce crisis in healthcare'. [18] It is a response to the warning from the World Health Organization that by 2030 there will be a global shortage of around 18 million healthcare workers – about a fifth of the required workforce.

The unit delivers deep sector expertise to help organisations cope with the various issues and disruption facing these industries – something especially important amid the continuing Covid-19 pandemic, and the economic crisis it has coincided with.As I said, all of life and death is in healthcare, and all industries flow into and out of healthcare. We’d expect everyone on this course to make an active contribution to society, develop themselves professionally, and stretch themselves personally as well. Patients and caregivers will need to do more for themselves with the support of primary care. We are seeing an evolution in care delivery with retail-oriented settings, such as urgent care, and as pharmacies focus on wellness and patient training. 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. With these five dynamics, productivity among clinical staff could improve by 20 percent. We will still need more healthcare staff, but this approach can alleviate the looming crisis while getting patients to the most appropriate care setting. His early career included various management posts in the NHS, time with the Australian health service, and a year in the civil service fast stream in Melbourne and Sydney before being seconded to the NHS Executive in 1992. Britnell joined St Mary's Hospital in London as a General Manager before being appointed as a Director at Central Middlesex Hospital (now part of North West London Hospitals NHS Trust) in 1995, when he was named Project Director for an Ambulatory Care and Diagnostic (ACAD) Private Finance Initiative (PFI) scheme - the first of its kind in the UK.
