LONDON, May 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- HealthTech Hour on UK Health Radio has officially become the stations' fastest growing show ever, surpassing half a million listeners in less than 6 months and reaching almost 50,000 every show, as the UK embraces the HealthTech boom.

Previous guests include Dr Nick Taylor CEO of Unmind, the global leader in digital mental health services in workplaces, Dr Kate Bunyan Chief Innovation Officer of leading virtual GP provider Dr Care Anywhere, Dr Sarah Jarvis and Kate Newhouse Chief Operating Officer of Kooth, the UK's leading digital mental health provider.
