Episode 25: Dr Murray Ellender - Asynchrony (The New Normal), Mentoring Medical Entrepreneurship and How To (Almost Single-handedly) Disrupt (Positively Speaking) 70years Of Doctor vs Patient In The National Health Service....For The Better?
Dr Murray Ellender is a General Practitioner in South London, co-founder and chief executive officer (CEO) of eConsult Health. Murray qualified from King’s College London Medical School back in 1999 and trained in Emergency Medicine before starting a career in General Practice. He joined the progressive team at the Hurley Clinic in 2006 and led on urgent care for the group for a number of years. He now practices part time across the Hurley Group, in both general practice and urgent care settings. Nowadays, he spends most of his week running eConsult Health Limited - a health tech company which spun out of the Hurley.
