This is an exciting time to join us on our mission to become a recognised international leader in accelerating innovation that transforms the health and wellbeing of our citizens.
The health system in England is now embracingĀ digital as a powerful driver for transformation, improving care, productivity, and experiences. There is increased investment in technology, talent, and skills ā€“ and there remains more to do to achieve theĀ levels of experience and expectation in other digitally transformed industries.
We want Greater Manchester to be a place where everyone can live a good life, growing up, getting on and growing old in a greener, fairer more prosperous city region. To deliver on our regionā€™s strategic vision and support the ambition for Greater Manchester to become a world-leading digital city region, we need to embrace the digital transformation opportunity across the health and care system.
To date, we have made considerable digital and technological advances in Greater Manchester ā€“ from the acceleration of the Greater Manchester Care Record for all citizens, to the implementation of digitally enabled new care models, to the development of a secure data environment (SDE) in support of one of the largest life sciences clusters in the country.
Working with the GM Integrated Care Partnership and stakeholders across the city, we are developing our new Digital Strategy, to be launched in summer 2023. This will drive digital transformation across the health and care system, at pace and at scale.
Thank you for your interest in working with us at Health Innovation Manchester, I wish you every success in your application.
