This week I had the absolute pleasure of speaking to the brilliant NHS Surgeon and Consultant Rob MacAdam about Being agile in Healthcare and Well-being. 

We chat about how he discovered agile, how he and his team adopted agile approaches in the pandemic to keep their theatres open and continue performing vital operations.  How it helped them to support their colleagues and work collaboratively, and how they continue to adopt it in new ways to improve their work.  

Here’s some of the things we discussed, I’m delighted to share it with you and I hope you enjoy watching it!
