Exciting to hear @matthancock@twitter.com’s vision for the most advanced health and social care system in the world
We need
• All our systems able to talk to each other (mandated open standards & APIs)
• Flexibility to meet local user needs
• Not another NPfIT

I’m delighted that we get to work with @bengoldacre@twitter.com on this journey of transforming the NHS.
We have a lot to do to unlock the potential in AI, health outcomes & research— for patients & all the immensely clever people in the NHS. But it’s going to be fun

Oh, and making decisions based on user needs. This is critical to breaking the lock-in to specific vendors and letting us continually choose better and better tools.
Everything should come from the user need.
@hadleybeeman this is bringing back so many bad memories re NPfIT 
@amx109 I know. There are a lot of scars to go around...!
@amx109 Also, I’m sorry. Maybe I should’ve included a trigger warning!
@hadleybeeman i used to work for a small-ish consultancy of healthcare-tech people. we'd get farmed out to csc/accenture/bt etc and whenever we'd get together we'd just be in dismay over the kind of shit companies/trusts were trying to pull.
its already looking a lot more sensible this time round. i wish you well in your new role!
