Winston Piddington

Associate Director – Health Costing & Reimbursement – IQVIA Australia

Meet Winston from IQVIA. IQVIA has been contracted to work with the Living Well team to cost the technicalities of the new care models to better understand what it will take to deliver this care, who will provide the care, what it will cost and who will pay for it.

“It’s a small but important role, turning the new Living Well, Your Way care pathway into reality. From our work, it’s easy to see that delivering better care models can be cheaper than current care models, not to mention more convenient for the patient and better for their health.

“I have an elderly sick uncle with chronic airways disease, whose medication is extremely well managed by his ever-efficient, caring, and thoughtful local pharmacist, and the idea of having the right funding in place to extend her services to people like my sick uncle just makes me happy. It makes you think that your job is worthwhile and that this back-of-office ‘nerdy numbers man’ can assist in getting the right care in the right place, and the right funding to flow through to it.”
