Are Doctor Founded Health Tech Companies Important?

Dr Julian Nesbitt entrepreneur and founder of the Dr Julian Medical group talks with me about his journey as a doctor leaving medicine and founding a health tech business.

We discuss the huge value of doctor-founded health tech companies and how his positioning and unique insights helped him to grow and scale in a competitive market.

As Dr Julian explains if you are looking for a career change, doctors  make the best founders of  health tech companies because of the unique insights they have.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• It was having a clear mission about improving access to mental health services. My motivation was about building something that could help people


• It’s about giving choice and empowerment to patients, we now have a sophisticated system that gives access to the people who are best suited to them


• It is about understanding where the market is now and the doctor's instinct helps


• As a doctor, you understand the clinical need and the needs of the health organisation that you are selling to  


• The way into the NHS is to find something they are desperate for and want to come to you for


• Everyone should network as much as possible to uncover all the available opportunities


• If you are passionate about something you just need to go and do it

BEST MOMENTS
