Denis has over 23 years’ experience working within all sectors of the health service, from acute services through to health authorities into primary care and PCTs and more recently into CCGs. He has also worked within national organisations such as the NHS Modernisation Agency, supporting DOH policy leads on the development and implementation of national reform policies.
Denis has a broad range of experience ranging from large scale strategic planning through to the development and implementation of reformed service models and large-scale efficiency programmes.
He has worked in Oldham for seven years, most of that time as Executive Director of Commissioning and Reform in the PCT, leading on service and system management and innovation. He now holds the post of CCG Managing Director and continues to work closely with the clinical community to ensure health service development is grounded in the best clinical and system practice.
Throughout the change from PCTs to CCGs Denis also took the opportunity to work with policy leads to support the transition into CCGs across the North West.
