John Oldham: Hates the “jobsworth” mindset

Biography

John Oldham has for more than 20 years been the go-to man for large scale change and new approaches to improving primary care. For 30 years a GP in Glossop, Derbyshire, he also headed the National Primary Care Development Team from 2000 to 2006 and in 2013 was asked by the Labour Party to carry out an independent review of how best to integrate care, called One Person One Team One System. He enjoys the blues—music, not mood—and is an unlikely fan of David Bowie, tweeting enthusiastically about his recent comeback record.
