Information management and technology (IM&T) ensure that staff have all the digital technologies, tools, training and support they need to fulfil their roles with confidence.
The IM&T service is divided in to two key departments - IT services and systems development, and performance and information. These two departments are made up of smaller teams.
IT services and systems development includes: Service desk, telecoms, IT projects, registration authority and the systems development team. The IT services and systems development teams have both operational management, service management and programme/project responsibilities.
Performance and information includes: Business intelligence, information technical team, analytical team, the data warehouse team, information governance and records management.
Our purpose is to ensure our staff can provide the best possible healthcare using the latest digital technology and accessible systems which in turn enables us to report our performance back to key stakeholders.
Data privacy and security is crucial to the Trust, my role ensures that we do everything we can to protect our people, systems and information
