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.
Digital Notts SRO
Andrew loves bringing people together to deliver more than they could do on their own. He’s spent over 30 years in the NHS working across every care planning and delivery setting – the last 20 of which as the Digital Director and information governance ‘responsible owner’ in one of the largest teaching hospitals in the country. He set up EMRAD, the East Midlands Imaging Network – a national exemplar in digital collaboration for improving clinical services; looking after every digital image taken across a population of 5.5m, with services provided in 11 hospitals but he’s most excited about exploiting the digital potential to provide the right information at the right time to enable each and every citizen in Nottinghamshire to enjoy their best possible health and wellbeing. Technology should not be for technologies sake, but for the benefit of the people we serve. His job will be to bring together the community, through appropriately managed governance, to exploit the digital opportunities to full advantage.
