The 2nd Annual Conference of the
National Chief Academic Officer (CAO) Group
Keynote Speakers
Margot Verheijen, MD
Chief Medical Information Officer, CMIO, ElisabethTweeSteden Ziekenhuis (ETZ) hospital, Netherlands. Her passion for ICT led her to the position of CMIO after she was very actively involved at the implementation of a new Electronic Health Record (EHR) during the merger of two hospitals. As one of the earlier CMIOs in the Netherlands, she stands at the cradle of the profession's development and possesses extensive dossier knowledge. Her area of expertise lies within the digital transformation of hospitals, which resulted in her hospital to be the first outside the US to implement a LLM into the EHR.
Professor Andrew Taylor
Director of Innovation at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children (GOSH) responsible for the Digital Research, Innovation & Virtual Environments (DRIVE) unit, the Cell & Gene Therapy manufacturing facility and a new Paediatric Innovation hub. Throughout his research and clinical career, one of his main focuses has been to attract and subsequently mentor young and enthusiastic clinicians, scientists, computer scientists, and engineers – this has included individuals who now lead centres around the World.
