About Matthew ...
Matthew is a dad, husband, sometime cyclist and outdoorsy-type with a 20 year background in digital healthcare. He has extensive experience of technology in acute hospitals, national systems, health information exchanges and in the use of population health management systems.
Much of his experience has been with Cerner where he was the Commercial Director for the UK, and later the general manager for Cerner’s operations in Ireland where he led the company through the implementation of the first four sites of the national maternal and newborn clinical management system (MN-CMS). In his latest role with the company he was responsible for international corporate affairs and marketing, which built global connections, and a deeper insight into the way that technology is embraced by health systems around the world. Cerner was among the front runners in the provision of Population Health Management systems in the UK market. Through projects across the country and in the US, Canada and the Middle East, he gained extensive and fascinating insight into the use of data to identify and address some of the challenges faced by the underrepresented in delivering equitable healthcare.
Now an independent consultant to the NHS in commercial roles, Matthew remains close to the developments in the use of data in healthcare. He is motivated by the positive opportunities opened by cloud computing and data sharing, while remaining acutely conscious of the sensitivities surrounding the use of our data in research and health system improvement.
