For over 30 years, Andy has worked solely in the healthcare IT sector within the UK, and has been actively involved with Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE), INTEROpen and the openEHR movement, thereby igniting his passion as an advocate for the creation of an open platform for the delivery of health and care. Andy is a staunch advocate of open standards around data, believing that the NHS can make much better use of data to unlock insights that will improve health and care if the organisational silos of proprietary data can be unlocked.
