Patient Insights

At HBSUK we recognise, we don’t know everything. The best people we can learn from are our patients with real experience and insights.

In January 2023, HBSUK appointed David Gilbert as our Patient Director. We also appointed Adbul Seckam in February 2023 as our Head of Academia and Research, specifically focussed on Patient Insights and learning from real life experiences.

HBSUK are working with various Universities and institutes to continue our learning and using to continually build out Virtual Lucy to be the preferred virtual outpatient platform of choice for patients and clinicians alike.
