Chris has over 30 years’ experience in the NHS, starting in Pathology in 1988. Chris is renowned for progressing from a basic grade Biomedical Scientist to a Clinical Director within 5 years (along the M62 corridor from Hull to Harrogate to York, with a brief detour to Sherwood Forest NHS Foundation Trust) before moving to the North West in 2008 to what he describes as the “dark side” of general management.
Since 2008 Chris has had several senior management roles in Operations and Strategy. He is currently Chief Officer of the GM Diagnostics Network including responsibility for Digital Diagnostics programmes.
His primary areas of interest are:
- Reducing Health Inequalities.
- Using digital technology to improve patient outcomes.

As a father of 4 boys, Chris has developed a keen interest in research of generational stereotypes. He applies this knowledge to understand how we can create sustainable workforce models for the future.
