The UK healthcare market faces a range of significant challenges, including rising demand due to an ageing population and increasing prevalence of chronic conditions. The NHS is under intense financial pressure, with budget constraints often leading to staffing shortages, long waiting times, and strained resources. Recruitment and retention of healthcare professionals have been further complicated by post-Brexit immigration rules and burnout among staff.
Additionally, integrating digital health solutions remains uneven across regions, creating disparities in access to care. These challenges are compounded by the need to modernize aging infrastructure and adopt innovative models of care while ensuring equitable access and maintaining quality standards.
After 17 years in C-suite technology roles including scaling up two tech businesses to successful exits Alex founded Chalkhorse to help others do the same. He is an engineer by training and outside of the Board room he still loves to get into the detail of software architecture and development problems.
Alex is passionate about technology delivering an impact in healthcare, and that only happens when it is adopted and commercially successful. Over 12 major product launches Alex has learnt the importance of leading with the customer problems over the technology, developing and testing the commercial model alongside the product.
Through his career Alex has been responsible for launching a wide variety of Cloud software, mobile apps and IOT hardware in health tech, bio tech, and pure technology businesses. Here are some highlights.
We're here to help and answer any questions you may have. We look forward to hearing from you.
