“We have the foundations to build something special, and I’m delighted to be a success story for NHSPS’ ‘get, keep, grow’ people culture,” Richard said.

“My team and I will support all functions across the business to ensure they have access to relevant data that is based on fact. This will promote informed decision making for the benefit of our customers, as we strive to embed ourselves as an extension of all functions within NHSPS.”

Roslyn Churchill, Chief Information Officer for NHSPS, added: “Richard is an experienced leader in Data and Business Intelligence and is passionate about working to develop a data culture that drives strategies and improvement through data-driven decisions.
