Chief information officers (CIOs) that report into financial directors within the NHS should question whether they’re really the CIO that their organisation needs, according to Mike Cavaye, CIO and director of digital at Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.

Cavaye tells NS Tech that there has been a shift in the NHS to put CIOs and chief clinical information officers on boards, and this has led to an uplift in conversations around technology and where it sits in the business. As a result, there has been a rise of the number CIOs in NHS trusts compared to five or six years ago, when there were not many.
