Our team

Our team is made up from a group of dedicated professionals that have worked across health, care and technology in some capacity for many years. Every person has something unique to add to the Digital Notts programme, but there is one thing that binds us together. It’s our passion for using technology to improve the care and experience of patients – their families, carers and practitioners, across all of our services.

Our role is to coordinate the delivery of the Digital Notts programme by providing a clear decision-making structure and framework for all the organisations involved. Our plans, targets and priorities are agreed by the two Health and Wellbeing Boards for Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. Supporting this is a programme board, a number of leadership and implementation groups and programme management team. However, the majority of our work is achieved by working with the experts and professionals in each of our partner organisations.
