Adrian Byrne
ex NHS CIO
As a CIO for one of the large university teaching hospitals I have promoted the concept of open platforms and interoperability for over 20 years. Aside from being DH AP Chair, 2010-2021, I have acted in an advisory capacity to KLAS and a number of suppliers to the NHS and INTEROPen.
As chair of the CIO network I feel we have had good engagement from the national teams in NHSD/X and have had opportunity to voice an opinion which I believe has occasionally influenced a product, policy or direction. A member of the BCS and accredited CHCIO status.
Abigail Harrison
chief digital and infrastructure officer and vice chair CIO advisory panel, Lancashire & South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust
I have a unique understanding and combined experience of digital, estates, mental health, improvement and NHS regulatory requirements over my 20 years in the NHS. I have worked nationally, regionally and for providers. I have worked alongside some of the world’s leading healthcare improvers and thought leaders and developed partnerships with industry, academia and health and social care to deliver change. I am passionate about leading teams to deliver standards and governance ensuring safety and security whilst enabling change and doing this thorough collaboration and partnerships where we bring people together to deliver on shared goals.
At LSCFT I have Executive responsibility for Digital and Estates. For 4 years prior I was the CIO at NWAS where we were able to significantly improve our digital maturity, taking us from negative outliers to leaders in the ambulance sector rapidly improving our infrastructure and enabling digital innovation underpinned by improvement methods.
Before NWAS I spent 10 years working in improvement and innovation in Salford. During this time I worked regionally and nationally to deliver national measurement systems, large scale change programmes and provide support to teams testing innovative solutions to some of the biggest challenges across the NHS.
