Due to the retirement of our existing CNIO, Bradford Teaching Hospitals are looking for an experienced and inspiring registered nurse, midwife or AHP to join our Digital, Data and Technology team as Chief Nursing Information Officer (CNIO).
This is an exciting leadership role for an individual who is passionate about improving patient care through digital innovation, clinical informatics and service transformation.
The CNIO will provide professional clinical nursing leadership across the design, development and implementation of digital systems, ensuring they support safe, effective and high-quality care. Working closely with nursing, clinical and digital leaders, the postholder will champion the voice of nursing, midwifery and Allied Health Professionals in digital transformation, helping to embed technology that improves clinical practice, patient outcomes and staff experience.
This role is ideal for a senior clinician with strong clinical credibility, leadership skills and a keen interest in informatics, innovation and change management.
As CNIO, you will play a key role in shaping how digital systems support nursing and midwifery practice across the Trust. Working closely with clinical, operational and digital teams, you will help design, implement and improve digital solutions that make a real difference to patient care, staff experience and service quality.
You will champion clinical informatics, support the successful adoption of electronic patient records and other digital tools, and ensure the voice of clinicians is at the heart of digital transformation. This is an exciting opportunity to influence change, lead innovation and help deliver safer, smarter and more effective care.
