S3 Ep90: Solving the NHS staffing crisis using tech with Dr. Jing Ouyang, Co-Founder and Chief Growth Officer of Patchwork Health
Update: 2025-05-16
Description
This week on Tech Can't Save Us, host Paul David is joined by Dr. Jing Ouyang, Co-Founder and Chief Growth Officer of Patchwork Health, an award-winning healthtech company transforming workforce management in the NHS.
Jing shares how Patchwork Health was born from his own frustrations as a locum doctor, creating a platform that works like "an Uber for clinicians" allowing doctors to book shifts flexibly while helping hospitals reduce agency spending. They discuss how their solution has tripled internal bank fill rates at NHS trusts, saving millions in agency costs while giving clinicians better work-life balance.
The conversation also explores Jing's transition from practising medicine to entrepreneurship, the mindset shift required when moving from a risk-averse medical environment to the uncertainty of building a business, and how Patchwork has scaled to support over 100 NHS organisations through strategic acquisitions and a mission-driven approach.
