I joined the NHS in October 2009, leading commissioning support services in the West Midlands as the Managing Director for Healthcare Commissioning Services, and then as the Managing Director for South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw Commissioning Support Unit. As Chief Data and Analytics Officer for NHS England, I am responsible for the strategic development of data and analytics capability across NHS, providing the resources to support system transformation, strategic information assets, digital tools, and analysis to underpin policy development and predictive capabilities.
Our aim is to lead the health and care system to be more strategic in the use of data and insights, providing the evidence to support decision making to improve health and care for all, now and for future generations. Prior to joining the NHS, I was a Partner with Accenture specialising in strategy and supply chain work.
My experience spans global clients in consumer goods, retail, pharmaceutical, manufacturing and utility sectors, and I have over 20 years’ experience in managing and delivering large scale change involving implementation of new operating models in complex and challenging environments.
