Quick fire case study session – Reimagining healthcare delivery

With a background in engineering, Nicola has successfully led large-scale, complex change initiatives, often digitally enabled, to drive improvements and transformation across the public sector, including integrated care systems. She has served as a Chief Information Officer in NHS and policing, and participated on several national technology councils. Currently, she balances her public appointments, which include serving on the boards of NHS foundation trusts and social housing associations, with her role as a strategic advisor to the health tech industry.
