Under his leadership Bolton PCT became seen as an Innovator in IT, being the first PCT to deliver the National Summary Care Record as well as being accepted as the organisation to lead the development of an Urgent Care dashboard for Lord Darzi. Chris has recently helped a CCG in Lancashire achieve two prestigious awards in technology innovation.

Chris is a PRINCE 2 and MSP Practitioner with an ability to help organisations turnaround failing Projects or Programmes.

Chris is a firm believer that the solutions to most business problems are in fact quite simple, but that we seem to over complicate things. 

Catherine spent the first 20 years of her working life in the pharmaceutical industry, promoting medicines across the NHS. Here, she learned the importance of good stakeholder management, quality, targeted marketing activities and clear socialisation of ideas. Working closely with the NHS has helped Catherine to develop a  clear understanding of both the frustrations and the joys of working in the public sector, where change is endemic. 

Catherine moved into a quality improvement role in 2013. She is an expert in LEAN methodologies and is a PRINCE 2 Practitioner. Her passion, apart from raising her two daughters to be the best they can be, is to help embed change considerately, through strong people and programme management.

She has a proven track record across many areas of both the public and private sector and is known for her strong focus on putting 'people first, process second' and is a big fan of the famous quote by Benjamin Franklin, "When you're finished changing, you're finished."
