Do Clinicians Make Good Entrepreneurs? With Dr Tamsin Brown- Clinical Director of the NHS Clinical Entrepreneur Programme

Oct 12, 2026

Episode Description

Clinicians are uniquely placed to identify the problems facing healthcare, but does that make them good entrepreneurs? And does the NHS provide the right environment for their ideas to succeed?

In this episode Annabelle is joined by Dr Tamsin Brown to explore clinical entrepreneurship through the lens of the NHS Clinical Entrepreneur Programme. We discuss what makes a successful clinical entrepreneur, the skills clinicians often lack, and why even the most promising healthcare innovations can fail.

We also examine the barriers to innovation within the NHS, what needs to change to better support new ideas, and why entrepreneurship isn't the only route to impact and the value of supporting intrapreneurship.
