Jacques Mizan

Jacques Mizan is a Senior Launchpad Associate. His role is to help evaluate early stage ventures, bringing “grass roots” clinical and research expertise to the Launchpad team.

Jacques is a General Practitioner by training and continues to practice in inner city London. He has developed a diverse work portfolio to encompass research and improvement in service provision. As an Honorary Research Fellow in Healthcare Design at Kings College London he has been successful in attracting and managing research funding from both the NHS and Research Councils (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, London Centre for Arts and Cultural Enterprise) totalling some £120k. His research interests have centred around the transfer of health care from the acute sector into the community and how design of healthcare facilities – as well as systems and processes of care - might not only enable but also improve service delivery and health outcomes. Jacques is a Leadership Fellow of The Caritas Project – a social enterprise dedicated to improving health and social care through design.

Jacques is a member of the Clinical Advisory Panel for Community Health Partnerships, a Department of Health funded organisation responsible for delivery of new healthcare facilities across the UK. He is also a member of Hounslow PCT Practice Based Commissioning Task force and their Clinical Reference Group: both these agencies are responsible for multi-million pound budgets which ultimately shape service provision across the borough. As the PCT Clinical Lead, Jacques plays a key role in supporting front line clinicians to deliver the PCT and Department of Health’s vision for future healthcare provision.
