Chief Clinical Information Officer (Nursing and AHP)

The ambition of the Christie for excellence must be met by our leaders with the same ambition. Now more than ever, our technology will serve to push forward excellence in ways we have not experienced previously. Clinical leadership in the digital domain for healthcare and research is a rapidly evolving field that presents opportunity, all of which needs to be guided as part of a dedicated multidisciplinary team.

The Chief Clinical Information Officer provides strategic leadership at the interface of clinical practice and digital transformation, ensuring that digital systems support safe, effective, and high-quality patient care.

The post holder will lead the clinical design, implementation, optimisation, and evaluation of digital systems, ensuring alignment with organisational priorities, national policy, and patient safety standards.

This is a highly visible senior leadership role, positioned within the Digital Services senior team and the nursing leadership structure. The post holder will provide strategic oversight of a clinical digital transformation team, including digital nurses, and work collaboratively across clinical, operational, and digital teams to ensure that systems and services are safe, high quality, and fit for purpose, ultimately supporting improved patient outcomes and clinical practice.

The Christie is one of Europe’s leading cancer centres, treating over 60,000 patients a year. We are based in Manchester and serve a population of 3\.2 million across Greater Manchester \& Cheshire, but as a national specialist around 15% patients are referred to us from other parts of the country.

We provide radiotherapy through one of the largest radiotherapy departments in the world; chemotherapy on site and through 14 other hospitals; highly specialist surgery for complex and rare cancer; and a wide range of support and diagnostic services. We are also an international leader in research, with world first breakthroughs for over 100 years.

We run one of the largest early clinical trial units in Europe with over 300 trials every year. Cancer research in Manchester, most of which is undertaken on the Christie site, has been officially ranked the best in the UK.
