About the founder: Professor Natasha Phillips RN
I am a nurse leader with over thirty years of experience. Committed to nursing excellence, I have led numerous local and national change programme that incorporate digital technologies and data science alongside the development of nurse leaders and cultures for change.
I am an organisation development practitioner and clinical academic with a particular interest in leading change in complexity, where I combine academic rigour with a flair for engaging others to deliver successful change programmes – these include the first real time nursing outcomes dashboard, a nationally recognised ward accreditation programme with a robust data model and the first successful implementation of an enterprise wide electronic patient record (EPR) in the UK.
Experienced in policy making I have led the development of several national strategies and frameworks including, National Digital Clinical Safety Strategy, Guidance for Nursing on What Good Looks Like, and the Phillips Ives Review – preparing nurses and midwives for the digital age.
My policy influence extends to the global arena; as an Alumni of the International Council of Nursing (ICN) Global Nurse Leadership Institute (GNLI), I collaborate with the ICN and World Health Organisation to influence and inform digital healthcare strategies.
In 2022 I was recognised by the HSJ, appearing on their Wildcards list recognising my place in influencing policy, and in 2019 I won Digital Health CNIO of the year.
My passion for amplifying the role of nurses in both policy and practice is the driving force behind my efforts. During my tenure as CNIO England, I cultivated a vibrant community of over 1,000 digital nurse and midwife change agents, resulting in the appointment of Chief Nursing Information Officers in 83% of provider organisations.
In addition to my leadership roles, I maintain an active presence in the field through my research and publications. You can find my work in esteemed academic journals and various media platforms.
