The NHS is transforming patient care through advancements in technology and innovation. We increasingly rely on digital services and our cyber team has a vital role to protect them and ensure uninterrupted access to systems and data.  

Creating a robust defence requires more than just the latest technology. We need a cyber strategy, governance and policies in place, but we must be agile to respond to change. We also need diverse teams and people with different skills – and it’s not just the IT or cyber team that have a responsibility for security.  

In this episode we’ll discuss the challenges and successes of fostering a positive security culture and explore how engaging with staff helps strengthen the NHS’s resilience against evolving cyber threats.

Host:
* Mike Fell, Director of National Cyber Operations, NHS England

Guests:
* Tej Gudka, Head of Cyber Security, NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit

* Mark Logsdon, Chief Information Security Officer, NHSE England 

* Sam Robinson, Chief Digital Information Officer, Yorkshire Ambulance Service

Ep 257 - International Workers Day 2025

Women’s healthcare is in crisis. It’s time to empower women to fight for the care they deserve.  

 Female health issues have been an afterthought and sidelined for too long. It’s Probably Nothing exposes the truth about how women seeking help with their health have been repeatedly failed.

Drawing on her own experience of being dismissed, undiagnosed and misdiagnosed, Naga Munchetty explores the devastating outcome of decades of ingrained medical misogyny. She hears from dozens of women and their loved ones who have sought care only to be told that their symptoms are normal or all in their head. These testimonies highlight the consequences of not being heard, which has left so many living in pain, with chronic and life-changing conditions.

This book illustrates the common problems women face and offers insights from doctors and experts on what we’re entitled to at every stage. It will arm women and their loved ones with the information and confidence to successfully advocate for the best health outcomes.

Women want to be listened to. Women want to be healthy. Women deserve to live their best lives now. It’s Probably Nothing highlights the urgent need for change.

It’s Probably Nothing: Critical Conversations on the Women’s Health Crisis (and How to Thrive Despite It), By Naga Munchetty, Read by Naga Munchetty

This is just small space to speak about the biggest taboo subject in life: death. :-) 
Something we ALL will experience and we all will experience loss. But we silence death to death. Soundcliud is limited, I'm working on another platform to dedicate to this taboo subject we all face.
My # 1 subject is to STOP making bereaved people feel guilty when people without crisis want to have a good time but feel the bereaved spoil their party! Stop putting the burden and blame on bereaved, on sick, on vulnerable people so you can feel selfish. I cover a lot of anger, and it's time for bereaved people to keep speaking out. Louder.

At NHS England our aim is to support the NHS and help improve care for patients. Our podcast will be providing commentary and information about NHS health care services, policy and success stories.
