Sir David Nabarro obituary
Many young people start out wanting to make a difference. Sir David Nabarro, who has died aged 75, was unusual in recognising early on the power of synergy. Aged 17, he was the subject of a 1967 BBC documentary on volunteering when he spent a year as organiser of Youth Action, leading a group of 400 volunteers in York, between leaving Oundle public school and going to Oxford University to study medicine. That experience – coordinating efforts for maximum impact – presaged a life in public service spent urging, cajoling and commanding others to work together. After stints as a medical officer in Iraq and Nepal, and as a health and population adviser in Kenya, he joined the World Health Organization, and subsequently the UN, leading the responses to the 2004 Indian ocean tsunami, the 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa and the 2016 cholera outbreak in Haiti. But it was as the WHO's special envoy for Covid-19, one of six appointed by the director general, that Nabarro became best known in the UK. He described the pandemic as a 'health crisis unlike anything we have encountered in my professional experience'. He was early to advocate the use of masks and testing, tracing and isolating infected individuals, but courted controversy with his remarks on lockdowns – which he said were misquoted. He argued that lockdowns should be used as 'circuit breakers', as a reserve measure to temporarily slow the spread of the virus, buying time and allowing the NHS and similar institutions to reorganise, regroup and rebalance their resources and protect their workers. In an interview with BBC Radio 4 in 2020 he cautioned against a full national lockdown, describing it as a 'a very extreme restriction on economic and social life' that temporarily 'freezes the virus in place'. He added: 'You don't want to use those as your primary, and I stress primary, means of containment. Because in the end living with the virus as a constant threat means maintaining the capacity to find people with the disease and isolating them.' The primary measure, he thought, should be a robust test, trace and isolate system, with lockdown 'the reserve you use to take the heat out of the system when things are really bad'. As a lifelong champion of health equity, he was critical of the global response to the pandemic. He lamented the way that politics had begun shifting how governments responded to global health emergencies. In a 2021 interview with NPR, the US public radio network, he recalled how the global response to Ebola in 2014 had been 'amazing', but that by the time Covid-19 developed in 2020 things had changed. 'There has been a funny shift,' he said. 'I find world leaders are no longer apparently able to work together and deal with this through a global response.' Despite his disappointment he worked tirelessly to protect the UK and beyond from the pandemic, arguing forcefully for vaccine equity. 'The one thing we want [at the WHO] is every country in the world to be able to access a fair share of the vaccine,' he said. He was knighted in 2023. His kindness, humility and decency won loyalty from staff, though his work ethic could be challenging. He was the 'Gandalf of the UN', said Aurélia Nguyen of the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations. He was 'always working behind the scenes for a broader purpose in ways that were not visible or needing to take credit but quietly bringing people to the table who otherwise would not speak to each other. He worked all hours relentlessly – some of his staff may say mercilessly – but with such conviction and passion it was impossible not to follow him.' Born in London, David was one of the four children of Sir John Nabarro, a consultant endocrinologist, and Joan (nee Cockrell). David was educated at Oundle school, Northamptonshire, before studying medicine at Worcester College, Oxford, and University College hospital, London. He joined WHO in 1999, working first on malaria and later, alongside the director-general Gro Harlem Brundtland on the creation of the global fund to fight Aids, tuberculosis and malaria, which has since saved millions of lives. In 2003 he survived the bombing of the Canal hotel in Baghdad while serving as WHO representative for health action in crises. He was appointed senior UN system coordinator for avian influenza (bird flu) in 2005, establishing him as a pioneer in pandemic preparedness. His most visible role on the international stage came in 2014 when he coordinated an unprecedented response to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. Facing a situation where 'the number of people getting sick was doubling every week', he helped bring the epidemic under control by engaging the community, building trust and addressing social and economic factors alongside delivering medical aid. Championing the synergy between social and medical interventions stands as the legacy of his lifetime of service. In 2019 he became co-director, with me, of the Institute of Global Health Innovation at Imperial College London, a role to which he brought his vast operational experience, remarkable ability to build consensus among diverse stakeholders, and readiness to mentor young researchers. His office was always open to students and colleagues seeking guidance, and his generous spirit enriched the academic community. Nabarro is survived by his second wife, Florence Lasbennes, whom he married in 2019, and by five children – two sons and a daughter from a relationship with Susanna Graham-Jones, and a daughter and son from his marriage to Gillian Holmes, which ended in divorce – and seven grandchildren. David Nunes Nabarro, global health strategist, born 26 August 1949; died 26 July 2025

I fixed fractured medical practice teams after injuring my back
Rachel Bothwell grew up helping out in the family business, a medical practice in Arklow, Co Wicklow. Her father looked after the patients; her mother looked after the practice. She studied business and French at Trinity College Dublin followed by a postgraduate diploma in fashion buying and retail management at Technological University Dublin, going on to work as a womenswear buyer in Dunnes. In 2018, with four years' career experience under her belt, she packed it in to go travelling for two years. Just weeks in, while in Tanzania, she got a call from her parents to say her father had been diagnosed with cancer. She returned home immediately to take over the management of his busy practice, shepherding a team of 15 staff and locums through a period of unprecedented change. Not only was the business forced into a sudden generational shift due to the absence of its senior GP partner and its practice manager — her parents — but no sooner were they through that than the pandemic hit. Despite, or perhaps because of, all the massive upheaval, Bothwell took the opportunity to overhaul the practice's systems, strengthening its financial analysis and control and generally improving its overall health. More importantly, her father recovered too. 'He's all better,' she says. Despite having grown up around the practice, she was surprised at how challenging it was to run it. 'I had no idea how complex it was going to be, even though it was extremely well run.' Bothwell managed the crisis with aplomb, but then she is made of stern stuff. On holiday in 2019 in Bolivia, she fractured her back in a car crash and soldiered on, not seeking medical attention until she got home. Call it the medical equivalent of the cobbler's kid. When finally forced to rest up and recuperate from her injury, she used the time to build a website for her father's practice. She also signed up for a diploma in practice management at the Irish College of GPs. The course gave her a ready-made network of fellow practice managers, which proved invaluable when Covid hit and practices across the country struggled to adapt. 'I had this group of 20 women in a WhatsApp when Covid hit, and it just occurred to me that other practice managers around the country don't have that kind of access to a network,' she says. 'GPs have networks, nurses have all sorts of Facebook groups and WhatsApp groups, but practice managers really didn't have anywhere to go for that kind of support. For example, if I asked my mum for information about something she'd point me to a circular [from the HSE] from 1995 in a cupboard. It was really hard to access up-to-date information.' It prompted her, in the spring of 2021, to set up GP Practice Ally. She started out simply pulling together information for practices and putting it online, initially anything to do with the state's general medical services scheme. She then created a community forum, which from day one started receiving questions — and answers — from users. Her instinct was correct: practice managers did want help. GP Practice Ally now supports more than 2,000 practice managers and GPs, representing 75 per cent of Irish practices. It provides subscription-based on-demand resources such as webinars, templates and toolkits for almost everything, including health and safety and human resources. It also offers in-person training and onsite consulting. It publishes an annual general practice diary, a monthly newsletter and is the country's leading website provider for practices, designing and maintaining more than 100 GP websites around the country. 'Each is custom built and includes features such as online payment and booking systems, prescription ordering, practice policies, patient forms and regularly updated resources, ensuring a seamless experience for both patients and staff,' Bothwell says. The company won outstanding small business of the year at the 2025 Small Firms Association awards. Bothwell attributes its rude good health to the clarity of its mission. 'We empower practice teams so they can focus on what they do best: delivering excellent patient care.'

Hospital overcrowding: Over 9,200 people on trolleys in July
Figures from the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) show there were 9271 patients treated on trolleys in July. The hospital with the highest number of patients not treated on a bed is University Hospital Limerick, with 2,257 patients. Advertisement 1,146 people were treated on trolleys in University Hospital Galway, with 889 people without a bed at Cork University Hospital. INMO General Secretary Phil Ní Sheaghdha said action is needed ahead of the autumn. 'The figures speak for themselves, and high trolley numbers in summer only send a negative message to our healthcare workers and the people of this country. Nurses and midwives are disheartened heading into the autumn winter period, and they already know they will have to endure the added pressure of flu and other viral infections including COVID. 'Trolleys are no longer just a feature in our emergency departments, they have now unfortunately become a feature across medical and surgical wards. In the space of ten years, the number of people receiving care on a trolley outside of the emergency department has risen by 30%. The Government's capital plan must include expanding the number of beds. Advertisement 'Our members are already providing care under stress and strain due to hospital overcrowding and that has a negative impact on them and the patients in their care. "The union has repeatedly called on the HSE for a commitment to building up our community services across the island to ensure we are set for seasons when we know there will be in increase in infections and increased hospital overcrowding. 'All signs are pointing towards an extremely busy winter period. Over 68,154 patients have been admitted to an inappropriate care space in our hospitals so far this year and all trends suggest that we will have another record-breaking year for trolley admissions unless urgent measures are taken. 'In the INMO's pre-budget submission we have called for a rebalancing of resources toward workforce development, the development of primary care and community services, the promotion of universal healthcare, and the expansion of nurse and midwife-led services. At the same time addressing the capacity issues, increased bed capacity across the health service, reducing waiting lists and addressing the privatisation of long-term care. Advertisement "These measures will deliver stronger, more sustainable health outcomes and greater value for every euro spent. 'There is a remedy for perpetual trolley crises if the Government wishes to invest properly in the health service.' On Friday, there is 368 people without a bed, with 65 people at UHL being treated on trolleys.
