NHS ENGLAND AND NHS IMPROVEMENT
The NHS is " a really wide family ", Hallen says . " There ' s public and private working together in a really good , collective way . Our medicines and our machines from suppliers , we source our technology from suppliers with expertise according to what we need . Core to Cloud is one of the suppliers that has worked really closely with us on cybersecurity , and on developing security approaches and capabilities across our hospitals and sites . Together we ’ ve developed a blueprint over the last two years that we ' ve rolled out across the country ."
The average hospital will have hundreds of different IT systems for different clinical specialties , and as well as ensuring they are secure , Hallen states it is important that these systems are able to talk to each other . " When you take into account the complexity of the many systems or devices that a clinician might use , ranging from laptops to MRI scanners and ECG monitors , you ' ve got to make sure those devices are really stable and secure , but also easy to access - you can ' t lock them away in a room . We worked with both Core to Cloud and Imprivata colleagues to develop applications that help us both secure and detect our systems ." “ The NHS is a really wide family . There ' s public and private working together in a really good , collective way ”

He studied law originally , but had an interest in technology , data and people , and what the three can achieve together . " For most of my career I ' ve been looking at transformation , and how we can improve things . I ' m very passionate about creating a healthcare system that really works for our patients and clinical staff " he says .
As a leader he says his approach aligns with his core values of compassion , honesty , consensus , and openness . " Sometimes my position is to set the vision and lead , but other times my role is to harness that vision , let others be creative and help them make that happen ."
