Former Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital CEO and NHS England chief clinical information officer Keith McNeil is returning to Brisbane from the UK to take up the newly created role of assistant deputy director general and chief medical information officer (CMIO) with Queensland Health.
Professor McNeil, a lung transplant specialist and respiratory physician who once served in the Australian Special Forces as a weapons expert, was also CEO of Addenbrooke’s Hospital and Cambridge University Hospital Foundation Trust when that organisation went through a much-criticised implementation of an Epic electronic medical record that has since been held up as one of the best in the UK.
