Building Internal Governance: Duncan Astill On Healthcare Safety Beyond External Regulation

Welcome to The Connection: Where Tech Meets Humanity in Healthcare podcast, brought to you by RLDatix. In this compelling live episode from the Connected Health and Care Summit 2025, Liz Jones and Darren Kilroy are joined by Duncan Astill, Partner in Regulatory, Public and Commercial Disputes at Mills & Reeve with over two decades of experience in healthcare law. Duncan's journey began unexpectedly in 1994 when a summer job pulling medical records led to his first inquest, setting him on a career path that would see him attend hundreds of inquests and develop unique insights into patient safety.

Duncan Astill works at Mills & Reeve, where he has built extensive experience in healthcare regulation, inquests, clinical negligence, and health and safety law. His cross-industry perspective, including work with builders' merchants and other sectors, provides unique insights into how healthcare could better approach risk management and safety culture.

👉 At RLDatix, we understand that health and care is a complex landscape where technology must work hand-in-hand with human expertise. In our podcast, we explore how our commitment to safety and operational efficiency can improve the daily experiences of health and care professionals while keeping patient safety at the core of everything we do. 🎉
