  • Lee Outhwaite - South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board

    Department Seminar Series- Lee Outhwaite

    Practitioner Research and Value Based Healthcare

    1-2pm on Tuesday 19 May 2026
    Online via Zoom, and in-person on LSE Campus (COW 1.11)

    What can 30 years inside the NHS teach us about health policy practice and inequality today?

    The seminar will outline the role of practitioner research in health policy, informed by (for this practitioner) a 33-year NHS finance career. It will discuss the roles of the South Yorkshire ICB, HFMA and CIPFA, before describing the motivation for completing a professional doctorate, exploring practitioner views on policy from the standpoint of the current challenges facing the NHS, considered from both an academic and in‑practice perspective. The seminar will also examine the research areas required to address both the failure of New Public Management and our continued inability to have a more rational conversation about societal inequity and the costs associated with the burden of socially determined disease.

    Speaker:

    Lee Outwaite joined South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board as Chief Finance Officer in June 2022. He has worked in the NHS since 1993 in a range of finance roles and has been a director of finance since 2008. Lee was President of the Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA) in 2025 and previously chaired its Policy and Research Committee.  In 2024, Lee completed and published a Professional Doctorate on the NHS internal market, Why bad policy persists.

    For in-person attendance, light refreshment will be available from 12.45pm.
