Director of Digital Health Delivery inLondon and Middlesex inLondon and Middlesex PUBLISHED THU 7 NOV 2024

The post will report to the nominated digital lead from CLCH, WL and CNWL: currently a CIO, CDIO and CCIO who all share responsibility for digital strategy in their respective organisations. The role will preside over the delivery portfolio for digital on behalf of this provider collaborative. As such, accountability will be forged across the three Trusts with any key reporting lines to be determined as the role develops

This is an exciting role that will seek to unify key digital health and transformation opportunities across these three neighbouring NHS provider Trusts. This provider collaborative have shared interests that go beyond having the same Electronic Health Record (EHR) in common, and are keen to consolidate and innovate on areas where having a shared approach would be best practice.

This could be optimising our existing clinical and operational pathways through to potentially creating new ways of working- all through the use of digital and data. Recognising the financial pressures at play across health and care right now, a large part of this role would also be recognising our collective technical debt...and specifically how we might do more with what we've already got.

The postholder will take an overarching responsibility on collaboration across the Trusts, not only supporting delivery of their strategic priorities but bringing together new opportunities for consideration. The post will report to the nominated digital lead from each organisation, which is currently a CIO, CDIO and CCIO who all share responsibility for digital strategy in their respective organisations.

Many of the objectives of the role will involve working across the three NHS Trusts in the collaborative. The postholder will work closely with Managing Directors and Leadership Teams within each Division, including the Digital/ICT departments.
