The Medics Podcast is the go-to show for healthcare professionals who want to do meaningful work beyond the clinic, classroom, or research lab. It’s designed for medics, academics, and innovators ready to translate their expertise into scalable, low-complexity ventures – even with limited time and heavy clinical or academic loads.
Through a mix of solo episodes, time-efficient insights, evidence-based reflections, guest conversations, and real case studies, you’ll discover tested tools and summarised frameworks that can be applied straight into practice – without losing credibility or burning out.
This podcast does not assume prior entrepreneurial knowledge. It’s designed for healthcare professionals who are experts in their field but new to enterprise thinking. Each episode makes implementation simple, contextual, and aligned with the healthcare world.
You’ll hear from guests with different backgrounds, showing how creativity and leadership take many forms in healthcare innovation.
It’s a thinking space, not a crash course – designed by a medic for medics who want to explore new ways of creating impact.
Alongside these themes, the podcast regularly revisits the AI Generalist Healthpreneur Toolkit — helping healthcare professionals build applied AI literacy and design workflows that serve real healthcare, research, and education challenges. As an AI generalist myself, I guide listeners through low-complexity, healthcare-focused AI pathways – always practical, never hype or trend chasing.

Empowering Lab Physicians: Leadership and Strategy in Pathology
In this episode, Dr. Amani Alnimr sits down with Dr. Noha Elsakka Obe, Vice President of the Royal College of Pathologists, to explore her remarkable journey from a lab physician to a national policy influencer. Dr. Assaqa shares her passion for microbiology, her pivotal role during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the significance of leadership in laboratory medicine. Dr. Assaqa also discusses the honor of receiving the OBE and its implications for the field of diagnostics.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Evolution of Leadership in Laboratory Medicine: The journey from practising laboratory medicine to shaping it involves recognising the importance of leadership roles, especially during critical times like the COVID-19 pandemic.
Importance of Communication: Clear and open communication is essential for effective leadership. Leaders should ensure that their team members understand their roles, expectations, and the overall plan.
Quality Management as a Priority: Quality management is paramount in the field of laboratory medicine. Leaders must implement systems to monitor and ensure the quality of services provided, including training, error management, and adherence to national or international standards.
Integration of Innovation and Strategy: Pathologists and lab leaders should adopt an entrepreneurial mindset, recognising that innovation is essential in a rapidly evolving field.
Global Perspective in Laboratory Practice: Engaging with international practices and learning from different healthcare systems can provide valuable insights.
BEST MOMENTS
"Microbiology as the clinical microbiology rather than academic or research type. Clinical microbiology is one of the unique and fascinating fields of medicine."
"Receiving the OBE... it validates your quality, your integrity, to people who you're working with and who you're dealing with."
"Leadership is part of everyone's job. You can't perform in isolation."
"One of the skills that are needed for any medic is to be able to both learn and then unlearn as the evidence evolves."
"Communication with your team is key, and consultation is key as well."
