This is an exciting opportunity for experienced GMC-registered clinicians to serve as senior clinical digital leaders for DHC. Providing authoritative clinical and medical insights and leadership to the digital agenda. As a bridge between clinical and medical services and digital technology, the CMIOs will play a central role in ensuring that digital innovation supports safe, effective, inclusive, and person-centred care.
The role reflects our commitment to clinically led digital transformation as outlined in the ‘Fit for the Future: 10-year Health Plan for England’, and supports the national ambition to develop the clinical informatics profession, as articulated by the Faculty of Clinical Informatics and NHS England.
