Podcast Overview

Healthy Discussions brings you topical deep dives with expert guests, on healthcare, politics, society and religion. Hosted by Dr Zack Hassan, a medical registrar (hospital physician) who has debated at the illustrious Cambridge Union, each conversation blends science with argument in a way that goes far beyond traditional media. The aim is to educate, debate, and make it fun. But most importantly, to demonstrate that freedom of speech and debate can be a tool for finding the strongest reasons to change our minds, not just a tool for polarisation.

22 | We need Health Creators, not just the NHS | Lord Nigel Crisp

Lord Nigel Crisp is the expert when it comes to our health service: because he was Chief Executive of NHS England and Permanent Secretary of the Department of Health simultaneously, during Tony Blair's government. A graduate in philosophy from Cambridge, he released his book "Health Is Made At Home: Hospitals are for Repairs." This insightful book calls for a rethink of healthcare, and highlights the local organisations that mean people won't need expensive healthcare in future. In this episode, Nigel brings warmth and positivity to the conversation. He and Zack discuss how health creation is promoted by community groups, the importance of a sense of control, how perverse incentives prevent health creation in our system, and how to realign government, politics and healthcare to build a truly health society.

21 | Will AI Really Transform Healthcare? | Professor Andrew Elder

Professor Andrew Elder is a doctor, first and foremost. He is a Consultant in Medicine of the Elderly at NHS Fife, and President of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh. He was previously Medical Director of the world-standard membership exam, MRCP, and is a Visiting Professor at Stanford University. In this episode, we discuss if Medical AI can live up to the hype, what humans still do better, the ideal division of labour between AI and humans, the problem of black boxes, how education of physicians may need to change. We also think about policy, about who is driving these changes, and who will be liable when, rather than if, mistakes happen.

20 | Should Britain welcome Homegrown Islam? | Dr Sohaib Saeed

Shaykh Sohaib Saeed is an Islamic scholar raised in Glasgow Scotland. He has studied at Edinburgh University, SOAS and Cairo's prestigious Al-Azhar University. He is a traditional Islamic scholar who founded the Ibn Ashur Centre, is Head of Research for the Bayyinah Institute, an organisation teaching Arabic and Qu'ranic studies with global reach. We get into the complexities of being a Western Muslim, how Islam has adapted to different cultures, the difference between shaykhs and imams, diversity within British Islam, whether Muslims have to follow practices that aren't part of their culture like polygamy, if Muslims are experiencing an intellectual crisis, the birth of home-grown scholarly institutions, the impact of 9/11 and counter-extremism efforts, whether the government should support moderates, the impact of social media shaykhs, and at the end, a surprising method for countering extremism from a religious perspective.
