Mark Britnell

Mark Douglas Britnell (born 5 January 1966) is an expert on healthcare systems and has worked extensively with organizations around the world. He is a professor at the Global Business School for Health at UCL and Adjunct Professor at the Sandra Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto.

In September 2024 he became Chair of Health Innovation Manchester.

He is the author of two books, 'In Search of the Perfect Health System' (Palgrave Macmillan) and 'Human: solving the global workforce crisis in healthcare' (Oxford University Press).

Between 2009 and 2022 he worked for KPMG including being Vice-Chairman of KPMG UK with a focus on healthcare, a role he held until December 2022.

Prior to this he had worked in a 20 year career for the NHS. Roles included being Director General for Commissioning and System Management at the Department of Health and a member of the management board of the National Health Service (NHS) in England (July 2007–September 2009), as well as chief executive of University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust and the South Central Strategic Health Authority.

University Hospitals Birmingham became a first wave Foundation Trust in 2004 and Mark signed one of the largest Private Finance Initiative deals in the NHS to give Birmingham its first new teaching hospital in nearly a century. He took on the role of Director General for Commissioning and System Management at the Department of Health in the Summer of 2007.

Britnell grew up in Chester where he attended the local comprehensive. Having studied history at the University of Warwick, he joined the fast-track NHS Management Training Scheme in 1989, receiving his post-graduate education at Warwick Business School at the University of Warwick.

Britnell credits one of his teachers from the comprehensive school for encouraging him, as a working class kid, to go to University and is now also a guest speaker at Speakers for Schools, whose mission is to "close the opportunity gap and level the playing field for all 11-19-year-olds from state schools and colleges."
