Are Doctor Founded Health Tech Companies Important?
Episode description
Dr Julian Nesbitt entrepreneur and founder of the Dr Julian Medical group talks with me about his journey as a doctor leaving medicine and founding a health tech business.
We discuss the huge value of doctor-founded health tech companies and how his positioning and unique insights helped him to grow and scale in a competitive market.
As Dr Julian explains if you are looking for a career change, doctors make the best founders of health tech companies because of the unique insights they have.

- It is about understanding where the market is now and the doctor's instinct helps
- As a doctor, you understand the clinical need and the needs of the health organisation that you are selling to
- The way into the NHS is to find something they are desperate for and want to come to you for
- Everyone should network as much as possible to uncover all the available opportunities
- If you are passionate about something you just need to go and do it
