I am a consultant colorectal surgeon, and alongside my clinical commitments, I work as the Chief Clinical Information Officer at The Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow. I started work as a consultant colorectal surgeon at Homerton University Hospital in 2003, before moving to my current trust in 2017.
Throughout my career, I have worked to transform services and improve patient care through a number of senior leadership roles, both within my organisation and the wider NHS. I have gained experience supporting the digital agenda as the Clinical Lead for a trust wide EPR deployment and as a Physician advocate for Cerner®. I have enjoyed working at system wide level as the lead for governance and standards of the London Cancer Colorectal pathway board for 5 years and the Secondary Care Board member for West Hampshire CCG for 3 years. I recently completed a project for the Eastern Academic Health Science Network as the regional clinical lead for the Emergency Laparotomy Collaborative, using quality improvement methodology to improve the outcomes for this group of patients.
