Population health, prevention and the power of improvement

In the sixth episode of Season Two of our Leading Improvement in Health and Care podcast, we look at improvement in population health

29 January 2026

Welcome to the next episode of our Leading Improvement in Health and Care podcast. In this episode, we're looking at how improvement can play a role in population health, with examples from Scotland to London.  

We hear about the approaches needed to achieve change that spans large systems and addresses inequities in experience and outcomes.   

Our guests are:  

  • Dominique Allwood, director of population health at Imperial College Healthcare 
  • Ruth Glassborow, director of population health and wellbeing at Public Health Scotland. 

Hosted by Penny Pereira, managing director of Q, and Matthew Taylor, chief executive, NHS Confederation, each episode aims to spotlight where improvement is working well, as well as the challenges it faces.  

This podcast is part of Learning and Improving Across Systems, a partnership between the Health Foundation, NHS Confederation and the Q community to support health and care systems to learn and improve
