On the Frontline of Change: My Role as Cutover Manager in an EPR Go-Live
In healthcare, change doesn’t happen in the background. It happens in real time, where patients are being treated, clinicians are making decisions, and every second counts.

Reflections from Rewired 2025
If there’s one message that echoed across Rewired 2025, it’s this: before digital transformation can succeed, the basics need to be right. That might sound simple, but in a climate of shifting structures, tighter budgets, and growing demand, it’s anything but.

Keeping NHS Care on Track: Why Improving Access is a Logistics Challenge, Not Just a Clinical One
The NHS 2025/26 Planning Guidance sets clear targets for improving elective, emergency, and cancer care. But if we’re serious about reducing waiting times and improving access, we need to shift our perspective. Right now, the focus is on clinical capacity – do we have enough doctors, nurses, beds, or scanners? While this is important, it…

Every January, I start the year with a plan. A structured, well-thought-out roadmap for the year ahead. It begins with data collection—pulling information from different sources, categorising it, scaling options, and arranging them neatly into a structured list. I analyse, prioritise, refine. And then? Well, just like most well-intentioned plans, it all gets reshuffled, adjusted,…
Go Live Is Just the Beginning: Why Digital Success Depends on People
When it comes to digital transformation in healthcare, go live is often celebrated as a milestone, sometimes the milestone. But as we explored in our recent webinar, go live is far from the finish line. It is just the beginning of a much bigger journey. The real work starts after the switch is flipped, and…
Benefits are like Pokemon – you’ve got to catch them all!
I’ll be the first to admit, I may have over done it on the title. But there is a seriousness to the point I raise. In my experience, I have conversations with client teams who can tell me about all the “fantastic” work they are currently doing or plan to deliver but lack either all…
