Jack's successes at King's include Inpatient Clinical noting, now trust wide, and Electronic Prescribing and Medicines Administration. Jack works with patients to understand what their issues are and then works with the King's IT staff to resolve them. Jack's drive, enthusiasm and pragmatism have been essential for the success of these projects. In the case of EPMA he prevented a revolt from the junior doctors by working through their issues and concerns with them, resulting in a solution that is now well received by staff.

Mary addresses a major issue in obstetric are - morbidity and mortality associated with the highly subjective, opinion based traditional approach to fetal heart rate (FHR) interpretation. Her clinically proven work provides a robust, computerised assessment that is objective and consistent, and improves outcomes. Mary has designed, written and upgraded this software since 1983. She is now piloting an extensively redesigned system incorporating risk scores and has co-authored 22 papers on computerised analysis of FHR.
John has managed the supplier selection and trial deployment of Remind+ which has resulted in reduced 'Did Not Attend' figures which exceed the trust's initial targets and have delivered financial savings exceeding the six figure mark and improved service delivery, clinic utilisation and patient care. John was able to provide and project manage a solution to a problem that was costing the trust millions and is now looking to implement the system into other parts of the trust.
