Zircadian is very pleased to announce that Dr Simon Eccles has joined us as Non-executive Director. Simon is the Medical Director for the National Programme for IT in the NHS, as well as a Consultant in Emergency Medicine at Homerton University Hospital in London, Clinical Advisor to the NHS National Workforce Project (tackling the impact of the European Working Time Directive in 2009), and Medical Advisor to the Hospital at Night project which is now being implemented nationally.

 

Dr Henry Carleton, Managing Director of Zircadian, said, “I am delighted that Simon has decided to join the Board of Directors at Zircadian. Simon’s extensive experience within the NHS, particularly in the areas of IT, workforce planning and clinical practice, will be invaluable as Zircadian rapidly expands its range of online HR services for hospitals and clinicians. His input is certain to improve the value of the service that we provide our clients.”

 

Simon is interested in plain-speaking communication; making sure clinicians, managers and planners are all using the same routine information to improve care for patients, and in helping clinicians have ownership of improvements brought about by better health informatics.
