Services
Digital delivery across health and care, from strategy to project
I've worked in GP and primary care, community, mental health, acute, ambulance, ICS and ICB, PCN and private healthcare settings. Most engagements are contract or interim roles of 3–12 months.
Levels I work at
Strategy, portfolio, programme and project management
I can lead at any of these levels, run the PMO that supports them, or join an existing team in a supporting role.
Strategy
Turning a digital strategy or ICB plan into a set of changes that can be funded, sequenced and measured, with the benefits each one should deliver.
Portfolio management
Choosing and balancing the programmes and projects that deliver the strategy, tracking dependencies between them, and re-prioritising when funding or national direction changes.
Programme management
Leading related projects towards one set of outcomes. Blueprint, benefits map, governance and stakeholder engagement, run to MSP principles without the paperwork getting in the way.
Project management
Delivering a defined change to time, cost and quality, using PRINCE2, agile or a hybrid of the two, depending on the work.
When you need a specific answer
Recovery, assurance and strategy challenge
Programme and project recovery
For programmes that have slipped against a fixed deadline, or gone live without the benefits they promised.
Programme recovery →Red team and independent assurance reviews
An outside challenge of the business case, plan or go-live readiness before you commit.
Red team reviews →Digital strategy challenge
Testing an ICB or trust digital strategy for funding, capacity and sequencing, then turning it into a portfolio.
Strategy challenge →Specialist areas
Where my NHS experience runs deepest
EPR and clinical system replacement
Moving organisations onto new clinical systems, including EMIS Web, EMIS Community, SystmOne and Oracle Health, with data migration, testing, cutover runbooks and hypercare.
Shared care records and interoperability
Data feeds and integrations using HL7, FHIR, GP Connect, Spine, MESH and IM1, so the record follows the patient into neighbourhood, urgent and community care.
Primary care and GP IT
GP IT programmes at CCG and ICB level: practice migrations, online and video consultation, clinical decision support, and the PCN and neighbourhood tools that sit on top.
Urgent and emergency care
Urgent care informatics including 111 direct booking, Summary Care Record access, virtual wards and the data flows that support them.
Benefits realisation
Benefits maps and measures agreed early, then evidence of the productivity gain after go-live.
Clinical safety and information governance
DCB0160 clinical safety documentation and hazard workshops, DPIAs, data sharing agreements and DTAC as standard practice, which matters more as AI-enabled tools reach clinical settings.
Procurement and supplier management
Business cases, requirements and the route from information request through ITT to contract, then holding suppliers to what they signed up to.
Programme recovery
Taking over a programme that has lost its way, giving the board an honest view of where it stands, and agreeing a re-baselined plan with suppliers.
