Ep 39 Prof Jane Andrews on Delivering Value, Empowering Patients & Inspiring Healthier Living

In this episode of The Talking Gut Podcast , I'm joined by leading gastroenterologist Professor Jane Andrews , a Clinical Professor with more than 25 years of experience in patient care, research, and health system innovation. From building one of Australia's largest IBD services to serving as Chair and Medical Director of Crohn's Colitis Cure , Professor Andrews has played a major role in shaping modern gastroenterology and patient-centred care. Together, we explore how to create real value in healthcare from improving access and coordination through digital tools to designing integrated, multidisciplinary models that better support people living with gut conditions. Professor Andrews shares insights into value-based care, digital registries and telehealth, patient empowerment through data access, and how health systems can deliver smarter, more equitable care. We also discuss the importance of holistic, lifestyle-focused approaches, including the role of behaviour change, mental wellbeing, and the gut–brain connection in managing chronic gastrointestinal conditions. Whether you're a clinician, healthcare leader, researcher, or someone living with a gut condition, this episode offers practical insights into building more empowering, efficient, and human-centred models of care. Please enjoy my conversation with Professor Jane Andrews.
