Innovation: MyPreOp

Paul is the CEO and co-founder of Ultramed Ltd. Having qualified in 1984 he was appointed as a Consultant Anaesthetist in 1995. He served on the NICE working group in 2003 that was developing the pre-operative testing guidance. After 4 years as Medical Director in his Trust he turned his attentions to IT and went part-time to start developing MyPreOp.

Empowering patients by putting them at the heart of their care and owning their data is key to MyPHR.
