Elise BeacomHOST

Elise BeacomHOST
The Thursday morning, went to this event for Bupa with Kipchoge and it was um Mona was interviewing Kipchoge and they had all these really sweet moments where they were talking about journaling because Kipchoge keeps he's like a prolific journaler he showed us his journal it was like journal number 24 and he brought it with him
Alice BaquieGUEST
That's
Elise BeacomHOST
beautiful.
Tom WoolgroveGUEST
So we are the largest by lives covered.
Tom WoolgroveGUEST
healthcare provider in the UK and yet others would have heard of other some of our competitors Bupa Aviva Vitality so but we predate the NHS and we are genuinely a mutual healthcare provider we started as the post office sanatorium society so post office workers gathered together to create a friendly society is the sort of terminology and they paid into a mutual fund and when they needed medical treatment, they received that.
Tom WoolgroveGUEST
So they paid into a pool and it's just a classic kind of insurance pooling of risk.
Tom WoolgroveGUEST
And so that's where we started.
Tom WoolgroveGUEST
I think we view ourselves as having had, and I guess, again, this is interesting in the strategy sense, a very unique positioning.
Tom WoolgroveGUEST
So As you say, above us, we would say we've got the traditional private medical insurers.
Tom WoolgroveGUEST
So the Bupas, the Avivas, the AXA Health.
Tom WoolgroveGUEST
And I think they are very relevant.
James MacPhersonHOST
I've
David PocockSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
been told that under the current contract with Bupa, there are a high percentage of units not medically fit... for example, one battalion in the NT had some 35% of ADF on some form of medical restriction?
Natasha FoxSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Senator, I can answer that now.
Natasha FoxSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
In fact, we have over 75% of the ADF are actually in a deployable military employment classification.
Payman LangroudiHOST
became of them? Did they have opened their chains?
Rana Al-FalakiGUEST
no I mean Derek no they never did so they had this Whitstable and Canterbury practices so Derek is now retired and actually I think he might be about to retire but then eventually sold the Canterbury practice to Bupa and then he headed up all the implant stuff for Bupa and was working in central London but there his approach was so much you know do things right do things the right way don't take shortcuts like be the best you can possibly be which is amazing the first
Payman LangroudiHOST
boss makes a massive impact on you I had on that scheme was Nick Mahindra.
Payman LangroudiHOST
I don't know if you remember him.
1 HR 16 MINS LATER
Payman LangroudiHOST
It's interesting that this becomes such a buzz thing, yeah?
Rana Al-FalakiGUEST
Yeah.
Payman LangroudiHOST
That I was at the, what was it, Bupa conference, and they were saying it's one of the cornerstones of what Bupa's going to be doing next.
Payman LangroudiHOST
Yes.
Charlotte SpearGUEST
We've got a tonne of exhibitors doing stuff as well, which is really exciting.
Charlotte SpearGUEST
Balans are sponsoring Theatre B. We've got Bupa.
Charlotte SpearGUEST
sponsoring Theatre A, obviously the Physio Matters Live is going to be insane.
Charlotte SpearGUEST
And I guess what I would say is get to sessions as early as possible because every year the feedback is that, you know, people do miss out.
Tom WoolgroveGUEST

Byron ConnollyHOST
Over this series, Vijay and I walk through Australia's AI adoption, the failures that our organizations are not necessarily seeing, and the discipline that fixes it.
Byron ConnollyHOST
Vijay, welcome and thank you for joining me today.
Alex MorrisGUEST
over the years... over the years, I think this is, I'll be conservative, I think over the years they've owned 12 altogether.
Alex MorrisGUEST
Separate, but the big group was in the 80s and they sold that in 91 to a group called Goldsboro, who I think were mostly bought out by Bupa then.
Alex MorrisGUEST
So those care homes do actually still exist in Leeds and Harrogate.
Alex MorrisGUEST
So yeah, so I went off, we sold, we happened to operate a care home just across the Pennines in And that was becoming more difficult with
Ben HarveyGUEST
Everyone understands this, and it's just been allowed to happen because it's been very difficult to enforce.
Ben HarveyGUEST
These massage parlours started putting up posters on their front windows saying, if you are a member of Bupa, of Nib, of HBF, et cetera, Medibank Private, come in, tap your card, and you can get a rebate.
Ben HarveyGUEST
And it essentially means that... every health fund member is paying for certain members to have a sexual experience.
Ben O'SheaHOST
Something to do with their members.
Andrew BlochGUEST
They're again building up a terrific roster of clients.
Andrew BlochGUEST
New Scientist, Medtronic, Bupa, Bip, Proper and now Zoom.
