Transformation of all kinds…..
Digital transformation takes on many forms, often it has a focus on removing something old, clunky, unsafe or simply expensive as a goal. In my time as a CIO I have tried to remove tractor printers from Ireland, the fax machine from the NHS and now the carousel from Pharmacy stores. It was amazing today… Read More
My Own North Star…
The creation of a ‘north star’ or a Very Clear Idea. In 2016 I was taught how to have Very Clear Ideas. How weird is that! Now in 2020 it’s a skill that I return to daily; how to have a clear idea and remain clear on it? At work we call it a ‘North… Read More
Don’t be salted about a problem, be marinated!
The digital revolution will not be televised! Its already here and televising a modern revolution simply will not be enough.

Partnerships and dancing…
Originally edited and published by www.digitalhealth.net reproduced here ahead of the Digital & Informatics Team at Leeds away day in July.

AI a shiny thing or the next loop in the evolution of digital healthcare.
In 2001 AI was ‘just’ a Steven Spielberg film; in May 2018 it is being described by many as a solution too so many ills within the NHS.
