Geoffrey M. Roche is the first Director of Workforce Development at Siemens Healthineers. He joins host Mike Palmer to discuss the merging of healthcare and education, focusing on emerging trends in the healthcare workforce.
Geoffrey highlights some of the key challenges that healthcare employers are facing today, such as recruitment, retention, and upskilling issues that have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The importance of investing in continuous education and training for all healthcare workers, not just those in leadership roles, is emphasized to promote equity and advancement within the industry. Geoffrey sees potential for innovations like virtual nursing, automation, and robotics to play a larger role in healthcare delivery while still maintaining the crucial human connection between patients and caregivers. However, with an aging population and workforce, impending nurse shortages, and a lack of diversity in the talent pipeline, the industry must think outside the box and work together to meet growing demands. Geoffrey encourages startups and entrepreneurs to come up with new solutions, as the healthcare sector is ready for innovation and disruption. Dive into the future of education and healthcare with this insightful industry leader.
