In this special episode of Health on the Line, recorded live from NHS ConfedExpo 2025, host Matthew Taylor is joined by Channel 4’s Victoria Macdonald and The Sunday Times’ Shaun Lintern to reflect on two packed days of debate, insight, and networking. Withalmost 7,000 delegates and over 150 sessions, the trio discuss their key takeaways from the conference - including health secretary Wes Streeting’s speech, Jim Mackey’s leadership style at NHS England, and the emerging contours of the government’s ten-year health plan.
