ROYAL PAPWORTH HOSPITAL NHS
“ I actually became Head of Information Governance at one point , and had an opportunity to act as Assistant IT Director at a Primary Care Trust , which had around 29 GP practices under its belt ,” notes Raynes .
Things soon became a whole lot bigger for Raynes when he moved to work at a Strategic Health Authority ( now abolished as part of the Health and Social Care Act 2012 ), a nationwide initiative aimed at digitising the NHS through electronic patient records .
From there , following time at the National Programme for IT ( NPfIT ), Raynes moved to a consultancy to gain experience in the commercial sector , before self-funding
a masters degree and rejoining the public sector at one of London ’ s prisons , HMP Thameside on the Belmarsh estate .
From the prison estate he joined a local Authority rolling out a children ’ s and adult ’ s electronic social care record in Leicester before finding himself back in the healthcare sector , though , at a major acute hospital in London as an IM & T Director which saw the impact and response to the Wannacry cyber attack which he recalled staying overnight in the hospital .
“ The learning from this was incredible ,” notes Raynes , and placed him in good stead for his role today – CIO of Royal Papworth Hospital .
