Do NHS Consultants have Power?
Professor Partha Kar OBE is a Consultant Endocrinologist in Portsmouth, the National Specialty Advisor to NHS England for Diabetes and Obesity, and the National Associate Clinical Director for Diabetes. He is well recognised by the Type 1 Diabetes community for projects such as TAD talks (Talking about Diabetes), improving access to non-invasive Libre sensors, and his social media presence. He has also co-founded other initiatives such as the Super Six model for diabetes care, Language Matters with NHS improvement to change the language clinicians use with patients, and Getting it Right First Time.
In this conversation, Partha and Zack discuss how much power consultants have to make change happen, the value of good senior mentors, how important it is to be honest with patients, the issue of racial prejudice, and the skills and strategies he's used for successful negotiation.
