In this episode of the Women in Health Tech Show, I speak to Lyndsey Reeves, Head of Transformation at Skin Analytics. Lyndsey discusses her career trajectory from a dentist to a digital transformation leader within healthcare. She shares her experiences leading groundbreaking digital projects like AI-supported cancer detection in the NHS, the challenges of implementing technology in healthcare, and the importance of compassionate leadership. Lyndsey also emphasizes the significance of human connections in her work and personal life, highlighting her volunteer efforts with perinatal mental health support and training as a doula. The conversation explores the need for sustainable, long-term changes in the NHS, and the role of technology in addressing workforce shortages and improving patient care.
Lyndsey Reeves has a desire to bring meaningful patient-centered care to healthcare services. She started her career as a dentist, and over the last 20 years she's moved into commissioning and operational leadership roles in order to make change at a system level to shape how patients experience care. She's been fortunate to lead some exciting work in digital transformation, including the first enhanced primary care service to offer direct booking from NHS 111, Pandemic Response Services and Nationwide Primary Care Services.
She's now focused on safely and thoughtfully introducing AI supported cancer detection into the NHS to improve outcomes for patients. She's passionate about creating healthcare that genuinely makes a difference to people's lives, and that works for whole communities, not just systems. Outside work, she's a single parent, a keen triathlete. - she recently completed her first half Iron Man and a trained doula. She volunteers with Pandas charity, running a perinatal mental health support group in her local community.
