The new UK government is looking to fix the NHS. Here's one thing they must focus on - IT. As this article highlights, IT systems in the NHS are out of date. From my experience of IT in the NHS (which stretches back to 1985), things are a mess. But.... please don't simply give big value contracts to the standard outsourcers and VARs. Consider setting up a national public IT infrastructure for the whole of the NHS, including doctors' surgeries and the care sector. Think holistically. https://lnkd.in/eSwjRaeM

🔥🔥 Can you guarantee your organization's backups are ACTUALLY recoverable in a crisis?

Insightful thoughts from Andrew Raynes CHCIO MSc - security in healthcare is so much more than clinical safety and too often data and systems security is not an obvious Board priority. Having CIOs on NHS trust Boards is an important step to wider understanding of the real challenges facing our individual health systems locally and regionally
