Healthcare communications agency ZPB Associates has expanded its senior team by adding Dr Arvind Madan and Dr Jenny Shand as new Senior Associates. The appointments are expected to strengthen ZPB’s strategic offering to pharmaceutical and healthcare clients.

 

Former National Primary Care Director at NHS England, Dr Madan brings a wealth of senior experience and a visionary approach to primary care. Dr Madan is a senior partner in the Hurley Group, one of England’s most successful GP practice groups, providing care to over 200,000 people in London. He is also co-founder of eConsult, a digital triage platform that allows patients to electronically submit their symptoms to a GP.

 

Former Chief Strategy Officer at UCL Partners, Dr Shand is one of the UK’s foremost experts in population health management and evidence-based healthcare innovation. As Associate Professor for Health Services and Population Research within the Faculty of Brain Sciences at University College London (UCL), Dr Shand leads a variety of research projects aiming to transform outcomes in priority areas and reduce health inequalities.

 

Bolstering ZPB’s existing expertise, the appointment of Dr Madan and Dr Shand will expand the organisation’s strategic offer to clients, with particular focus on understanding and engaging primary care organisations and underserved communities. Dr Madan and Dr Shand join ZPB’s existing Senior Associates, Dr Nav Chana MBE, Clinical Director of the National Association of Primary Care (NAPC) and Mike Bell, Chair of South West London Integrated Care Board (ICB).

 

Commenting on the appointments, Zoe Bedford, CEO of ZPB Associates said:

“ZPB is built upon forensic knowledge of the UK’s healthcare system. We’ve always enjoyed a close working relationship with those at the frontline of healthcare and we are delighted to continue this trend with the appointments of Jenny and Arvind.”

 

“Real-world insights are crucial to ZPB’s proposition and key to our offer for clients across the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors. Alongside our other senior advisors, Jenny and Arvind bring essential understanding of the system – in particular primary care and GPs, which are gatekeepers to the NHS. We look forward to working with them to deliver true impact for our clients, helping to shape the future of healthcare together.”

 

On joining ZPB Associates, Dr Arvind Madan said:

"I’m excited to join such an exceptional team, known for their dedication and innovative approach to healthcare and life sciences. With a shared passion for improving patient experiences and cutting-edge research, I look forward to contributing to this meaningful work and learning from my new colleagues."

It is great to work alongside a team that shares my commitment to improving healthcare outcomes and addressing inequities to ensure health innovation reaches and benefits the communities that need it the most."
