NHS Kent and Medway Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) has appointed Morfydd Williams as the Director of Digital Transformation.
Morfydd will be leading the digital programmes and analytics both for the CCG and the emerging integrated care system, made up of all the health and social care providers in Kent and Medway.
Accountable Officer for KMCCG Wilf Williams said: “I am delighted to be welcoming Morfydd to the team. She brings a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to the role.
“Digital transformation is a key enabler to many of the changes needed to improve and develop how we deliver healthcare services in Kent and Medway. As a system we aspire to be data driven; to have access to high-quality and comprehensive data to enable us to better understand the health needs of our population and to identify and support improvement in service delivery.
“We have seen a significant change of thought towards how we use digital solutions as part of our Covid-19 response - and a growing confidence from our clinicians. It is important that we build on this digital capability to support healthcare services and Morfydd will be leading a system-wide approach to this.”
Ms Williams has been working in Kent for the past couple of years, most recently as the Director of IT for both Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust and Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust. Before this, she lead a number of national programmes as a programme director for NHS England, including cancer and digital primary care. She has extensive IT experience in the NHS working in a number of acute trusts and community hospitals.
Morfydd has started working with the CCG one day-a-week and will be joining full-time before Christmas.
