Janet Dodd
Chief Nursing Information Officer, Sheffield Children’s NHS FT
I started my nursing career in Sheffield and specialised in Neonates for 23 years and then became Ward Manager of a Paediatric Surgical Ward. I was seconded to the role of Matron for Digital Technology in December 2021 to support digitisation on the acute site and have recently been appointed as the first CNIO at Sheffield Children’s Hospital which involves responsibility for the development, optimisation, implementation, and clinical safety of the digital systems used across the trust including Community and Mental health.
I have always had an interest in patient information and data, and although I am not an expert in technology, I embrace digital change and the benefits it brings and believe that clinical leadership is paramount for successful transformation.
