Nick Roberts will join the Trust on the 1st of April. Stephen Bromhall will be returning to his substantive role at East of England Ambulance Service at the end of April following the end of his secondment.
Nick is currently Chief Information Officer at Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust in London.
He has been the senior responsible officer for technology and data across Moorfields at Board level since joining the hospital in 2020.
Nick has been involved in several major transformational programmes including the transformation of OpenEyes, an eye care clinical noting system converted to a highly available public cloud solution, and in delivering the trust’s full business case for its new EPR, MoorConnect.
Previously, Nick was Director of Digital Services at University College London NHS Foundation Trust (UCLH), onboarding a new outsourced IT service provision, and implementing the technology and data migration to support their Epic EPR implementation.
SECAmb Chief Executive, Simon Weldon, said: “I welcome Nick to SECAmb and am pleased that we have been able to make this important appointment to this key executive director role. He brings with him a wealth of experience and I am looking forward to working closely with him as we continue to develop our digital agenda.
“I would like to thank Stephen for the contribution he has made during his time with us, including for the development of our Digital Strategy. He is leaving us with a solid platform to build on moving forwards.”
Nick said: “I am really excited to be joining SECAmb at such a defining period for them, with the opportunity to deliver a transformational digital strategy to improve patient care and enhance the staff user experience. I look forward to using my learning from Moorfields and UCLH specialist acutes to help develop the next level of technology and data capability for this vital emergency response service.”
