In this instalment, host John Griff talks with Consultant Occupational Physician Dr Kent Haworth, who has recently joined Medigold Health to lead our team of OHPs in the Southeast and London. During an insightful interview, which touches on his background in the Royal Army Medical Corps and his experience working in General Practice, Dr Haworth discusses a diverse range of topics, from the positive influence that military medicine has had in advancing medical science and practice, to the importance of vaccination programmes for protecting public health, and the challenges of supporting an aging workforce in a country deemed one of the unhealthiest in Europe in the absence of a truly joined up approach to healthcare. He also explores the old adage, prevention is better than cure, arguing the important role that employers have in helping to reduce the burden on our chronically over-stretched NHS, particularly when it comes to providing access to rehabilitation and mental health support, and addressing the question of whether businesses can really afford not to be investing in quality occupational health services. So go on, grab a cuppa, sit back and have a listen.
The Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) agenda is destined to become a core part of the business landscape. In this episode of Medigold Matters, John chats to Medigold Health’s Head of ESG, Jane Winter, on why every employee is responsible for ESG and what businesses can do to start getting their staff engaged in helping them to achieve their ESG goals. He also catches up with Adrian Pryce, Senior Lecturer in Strategy and International Business at the University of Northampton, on how a strong and measurable commitment to ESG can provide commercial, moral, and reputational benefits for businesses. So go on, grab a cuppa, sit back and have a listen.
In the first of our Medigold Matters series, John chatted to our CEO, Alex Goldsmith, about the occupational health landscape and the importance of looking after your employees. In honour of Mental Health Awareness Week 2021, he also caught up with our Director of Medigold Health Perform, Steve McNulty, to find out whether the gap between our willingness to talk about our mental health as openly as we do about our physical health is closing. So go on, grab a cuppa, sit back and have a listen.
