Empathy and evidence: Leadership in a high performing health system with Andrew Way

Our 'Brights Spots in Health & Care' interview series provides a platform for sharing best practises, lessons learned, and inspiring transformational leadership within health and care systems worldwide. Our leadership interviews focus specifically on the personal leadership journeys of some of the brilliant senior leaders we have met and worked with.

In this episode, Q5's Charlie Penny and Senior Health Advisor Jonathon Gray are joined by Andrew Way, who has served as Alfred Health's Chief Executive Office since 2009. During his 15 years as CEO, Andrew’s focus has been on improving access, ensuring high quality, safe services with low mortality, within a strong financial framework and a research-supportive environment. 

Andrew addresses key questions about leadership in healthcare, including:

• How have your leadership roles changed as a result of crises such as the Covid-19 pandemic?
• What do you look for in leaders at all levels of your organisation?
• What advice would you give young leaders for how to be successful?
