Tom Whicher

Trained as an engineer and a former management consultant, Tom identified an opportunity to improve the way hospital appointments are booked and managed, and reduce appointment non-attendance, and developed DrDoctor to enable just that. It has already been successfully introduced to six acute trusts serving 4 million patients. Tom is looking forward to working with the NIA to understand the core problems that face trusts across the UK and to develop DrDoctor into a national and international service. Tom would also like to take advantage of networking opportunities provided by the NIA to develop an advisory board.
