New chief executive appointed at HSCIC
The Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) has appointed its new chief executive, Andy Williams.
Williams has worked across a variety of sectors in programme governance and managing change, and has led teams at IBM, Alcatel-Lucent and CSC.
He will take up the role in April.
Kingsley Manning, chair of the HSCIC, said: “Andy’s track record speaks for itself. His integrity and analytic skills, coupled with his extensive contacts across the informatics industry, will give HSCIC a further boost as it builds its reputation for information services.”
Williams said: “I am delighted to be able to bring my experience and expertise to a role as important as this. The HSCIC, since its creation in April last year, has made good progress in establishing itself as a highly influential source of information and analysis, as well as a provider of systems and services on which the NHS depends.
“No role in technology is more important than supporting the delivery of better patient care. I look forward to taking up my post in April and building on this early success.”
