Episode 34: Backstage with Dr Claire Fuller

The Next GenCast

Our 2024 season kicks off with Dr Claire Fuller, who is the National Medical Director of Primary Care for NHSE, a role she's held since September 2023.

Prior to that she was Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System Chief Executive, having previously been the Accountable Officer for the CCG. She's been a practising GP in the area since 1995.

In November 2021, Claire was invited by NHS England Chief Executive Amanda Pritchard to lead a national piece of work looking at primary care within integrated care systems, to identify what was working well and why. The output became known as the Fuller Stocktake, and was co-signed by all 42 ICS Chief Executives who committed to the recommendations.

She was HSJ Clinical Leader of the Year in 2017, and is regularly named in the HSJ list of most influential people in the NHS.

Claire has spoken at Next Gen GP programmes before, and she’s always full of energy, very honest (as you’ll see!), and a strong advocate for young leaders.
