I look at a hospital three ways.

Hospital executives face problems that no single view can resolve. I blend three: clinical, operations and people.

Who I am

Maths caught me as a child. It never let go.

That cross-domain vision is rare, and it is what I bring to the people who run hospitals. In my own time, I build it in the open.

How I work

One hospital.
Three views. Blended.

An executive's problem rarely sits in one view. Each view asks one question. The answer needs all three together.

In development

A hospital you can open like a model.

Portrait of Martin Monteagudo Farina

Maths caught me as a child. It never let go.

I started in civil engineering. Then I spent years in intensive care.

While I lived in the UK, I studied social anthropology at a distance. Half a degree, flying home to sit the exams.

Seventeen years across the UK, Spain, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Four health systems. Different rules, the same pressure on beds.

So I look at a hospital three ways. Clinical: the patient in the bed, and how fast they can get worse. Operations: queues, beds, the bad weeks an average hides. And as people: the culture that decides what gets reported, and what does not.

That cross-domain vision is rare, and it is what I bring to the people who run hospitals. In my own time, I build it in the open.

Always up for a good conversation!

Where I worked

The same problems, everywhere I worked.

Four health systems. Different rules, the same pressure on beds.

Instead of another meeting, I bring the evidence, the people's view and a tested plan.
