of radiology and chief clinical information officer (CCIO) at The Christie, as well as a clinical health informatics lead with NHS Northwest and a national lead with NHS Connecting for Health. Thanks to his visionary approach, Dr Bramley has been fundamental in many projects, which have enhanced the safety, quality, speed and efficiency of information flow across care pathways - all of which are vital to improving patient care. His achievements include leading on the successful national deployment of radiology information systems, digital imaging and voice recognition. He was highly commended in the HSJ clinical leader award for his innovation in developing clinical portals that provide secure web access to clinical records and enhancing clinical safety through electronic result acknowledgment and recording clinical outcomes.
