“I feel part of a community that has a collective voice that is being listened to. It’s been a whole new experience for me. It has increased my network, knowledge and my ability to influence locally, regionally and nationally. It has also given me a safe place to share thoughts, frustrations as well help create and develop ideas that can really make a difference to the digital community.”
Mandy Griffin, Managing Director – Digital Health, The Health Informatics Service and Vice Chair of the CIO advisory panel.
“If you want to be a part of the future of the profession that this is a part of the foundation. If you want to have a voice in national digital policy, and to represent the views of others then we need active participants. If you value the concept of an independent group that can speak truth to power then this is for you.”
Adrian Byrne, CIO of University Hospital Southampton and chair of the CIO Network
“I’ve really enjoyed being the Chair of the CNIO group. I feel that I’ve been given a great opportunity to support the ‘voice’ of the CNIO community, and this has also given me a great opportunity to be part of the link between colleagues working in local organisations into national teams and the wider community.”
Jo Dickson, Chair of CNIO Network
“Make yourself part of a strong, vibrant network. I'd encourage people to 'actively' join - in other words to network and learn, and benefit from the strength of the network but also to contribute in an active way through content and encouraging others to join.”
Lisa Emery, CHCIO FBCS, Chief Information Officer, The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust
“Once I got involved in the advisory panel I found it to be really friendly and welcoming and very enlightening, in terms of understanding how the CCIO, CIO and CNIO/AHP networks function, and the interplay between them and the other nascent communities that have developed in the Digital Health Networks.”
Marcus Baw, locum GP and Emergency Physician, Yorkshire
